Re: Ready Player One: What Went Right (Internationally)
On a related note. Spielberg is the first director to hit 10 billion. RPO will become his 6th biggest film of all time.

Re: Ready Player One: What Went Right (Internationally)
It's only the sixth biggest because his career has spanned such a number of years. In terms of magnitude and importance and legacy, RPO will be his 30th biggest. lol

Re: Ready Player One: What Went Right (Internationally)
I disageee, it will be a solid lower mid tier, much like Hook in the annals of cinema history

Re: Ready Player One: What Went Right (Internationally)
I didn't look up his filmography. Just plucked "30th" out of mid-air. It will be as well remembered as A.I. Artificial Intelligence, not Hook.

Yeah. If WOKJ is still around in 2044, we'll resolve this!

Re: Ready Player One: What Went Right (Internationally)
I agree with Algren the cultural impact of RPO is going to be minimal. I think most people will forget it in a few months as just another action movie.

I've never seen AI, but Hook was my favorite film as a kid.

Re: Ready Player One: What Went Right (Internationally)
A.I. is definitely more well-regarded by cineastes than Hook, but I would say more people talk about Hook. Then again, maybe if Haley Joel Osment voice-acted some fan favorite thing like Rufio did, who knows?

Re: Ready Player One: What Went Right (Internationally)
While I am fine with this discussion I think this is clearly subjective the point was that RPO's cultural impact will be minimal. And I believe it will be lower than those two movies.

Re: Ready Player One: What Went Right (Internationally)
Come on, nobody talks about either anymore. And it depends where you look to see which is liked the most.

Re: Ready Player One: What Went Right (Internationally)
I watched AI the week after 9/11 and there are still scenes in that film they were haunting that I still can't get out of my head. I'm a big fan of the film regardless of the ending.

Re: Ready Player One: What Went Right (Internationally)
This movie has been the talk of my office lately, but nothing close to Greatest Showman even

Re: Ready Player One: What Went Right (Internationally)
Unless the advent of virtual reality gives it life, I think it's pretty generous to RPO to compare it to Hook in long term relevance

Looks to pass Operation Red Sea. Still a success story for Steven

Re: Ready Player One: What Went Right (Internationally)
You couldn't make a more generic title than Operation Red Sea. It sounds like a Dolph Lundgren DTV actioner.
