Ready Player One is #1


For the weekend of March 29-April 1, 2018, Ready Player One took the #1 spot, earning over $50 million (as it really opened on Thursday). It's Steven Spielberg's highest opening in ten years (partially in thanks to him doing mostly prestige fare like Lincoln and The Post lately.)

Tyler Perry has another mid-budget success with Acrimony, about a woman who gets revenge on her cheating husband. Meanwhile the third film in the God's Not Dead series should be its last. In the faith-based corner of cinema, I Can Only Imagine is vacuuming up all the ticket-buyers.

Tomb Raider's slipping quickly, and while it will probably break even thanks to overseas success, I wouldn't hold my breath for a sequel.



Opens April 6
A QUIET PLACE with Emily Blunt and John Krasinski.
BLOCKERS with John Cena, Leslie Mann and Ike Barinholtz.
CHAPPAQUIDDICK with Jason Clarke, Kate Mara and Bruce Dern.
