That compares favorably to the openings of A Wrinkle in Time (which started out with $33.1 million), and Pacific Rim: Uprising ($28.1 million), and is, in fact, the best weekend in 2018 for a movie not called Black Panther, but it barely starts to chip away at considerable marketing costs, let alone a reported $150 million production budget. Ready Player One is the most successful among them, with an opening of $41.2 million predicted by Warner Bros. Since the release of Black Panther to a whopping $202 million on February 16, three movies that could have caught the general public’s imagination have arrived on the scene, and earned somewhere between a fifth and a seventh of that on opening weekend. The gulf between blockbusters and also-rans could hardly be starker these days. Weekend Estimates: Ready Player One Solid On Debut Overall, the box office rose 4.9% from last weekend hitting $136 million, but this was still 20% lower than the same weekend last year. God’s Not Dead: A Light in Darkness missed the top ten. Acrimony was a solid second place finisher with $17.17 million.
Ready Player One not only opened in first place over the weekend, but its three-day total of $41.77 million was Steven Spielberg’s best opening weekend as a director in almost exactly a decade. Weekend Wrap-Up: Spielberg’s Decade Best Can’t Save Overall Box Office The film did open in first place in several other major markets, including France ($6.15 million on 719 screens) and Russia ($5.74 million on 1,461). The film also had to settle for second place behind Peter Rabbit in the U.K. The film’s second biggest international market of the weekend was South Korea, where it earned second place with $6.35 million on 1,079 screens for a total opening of $8.08 million. This is Warner Bros.’ biggest opening ever in this market. Its biggest single market was China with $61.61 million on 18,200 screens over the weekend for a total opening of $62.06 million. Ready Player One opened in first place on the international chart with $127.5 million on 35,600 screens in 62 markets.
International Box Office: Ready Starts Out Number One Internationally with $127.5 million Its best market overall was China with $43.45 million in 17,738 screens over the weekend for a two-week total of $162.26 million. The film’s best new market was Germany, where it opened in first place with $2.88 million on 866 screens. Ready Player One remained in first place on the international chart with $83.8 million on 33,787 screens in 65 markets for totals of $297.1 million internationally and $393.6 million worldwide. International Box Office: Ready Remains First, Nears $400 million Worldwide In the end, I went with Dark Matter as the Pick of the Week. There are a few contenders for Pick of the Week, including the final season of Dark Matter a dark comedy, The Death of Stalin and an Anime release, Re:Zero - Starting Life in Another World. The “biggest†new release of the week is Pacific Rim: Uprising, but it is not worth picking up. Summer is the worst time of the year for the home market and this week is no exception.
