Ready Player One Predictions
This releases March 30, 2018.
The trailer seems pretty accessible, moreso than The BFG at least.
I see a 40-50m OW and 170-200 total.

Re: Ready Player One Predictions
How popular is the book?
Speilberg has not tackled a big blockbuster in a while. Will be interesting to see if he is still a draw.

Re: Ready Player One Predictions
This will do well. Not sure how well, but it will do well.

One of my favorite books.

Re: Ready Player One Predictions
That trailer is ridiculous. If it has the rumored fights and the marketing keeps it up, this would have been the film to beat Avatar.

Re: Ready Player One Predictions
Reminds me a lot of Tron: Legacy and Minority Report. So it will make $150m.

Re: Ready Player One Predictions
Another meh trailer IMO. It's an improvement over the last one, because they actually do a better job selling the story, but outside nostalgia porn I'm just not seeing the appeal. I can't even muster any excitement for this which is sad because I love this kind of stuff. Who knows it's not like my personal feelings matter anyways and for all I know this has enough of a fanbase to do $40-$50M OW, but if it doesn't offer much else than I don't see it having good legs.

Re: Ready Player One Predictions
Looks awesome. Not sure Spielberg is capable of bringing in a $400m + mega blockbuster anymore so I’ll say $200-$220m.
Spielberg is my fave director but outside of Lincoln he hasn’t helmed an AAA (both quality and boxoffice performance) film since Saving Private Ryan. 20 years ago.

Re: Ready Player One Predictions
30m/85m domestic, 150m intl
A mega flop. Virtual reality is lame.

Re: Ready Player One Predictions
It looks fine but nothing groundbreaking like Tron Legacy felt (which it wasn't). It looks and feels more like the recent Warcraft movie but ofcourse Spielberg gives this an edge. I am going with $120m as of now but won't be surprised with just $80m total.

Re: Ready Player One Predictions
The new trailer played well with myJumanji audience. It just doesn’t seem like the Ready Player One’s of the world have $200m runs anymore. It’s either a flop, a modest hit ($100-150) or a monster breakout.

Re: Ready Player One Predictions
I think it will break out and get close to $250m. It has a great release date and competition isnt strong.

35?
That's depressing. Maybe it will grow as we get closer.

Re: Ready Player One Predictions
That's better than I expected.
Reviews will probably be the deciding factor. If it gets panned I don't even see it crossing $30m.

Re: Ready Player One Predictions
Reminds me of Final Fantasy and a long litany of films that the internet over-predicts, in that kids will be disinterested in it by it being too realistic and dramatic and non-whimsical, and adults by it being too geeky, soft, and lacking sex appeal.
That said, it has enough going for it that I can see it gaining a lot of traction in the next three weeks.

Re: Ready Player One Predictions
Ouch indeed, but its still early enough for it to go up somewhat. If it doesn't even crack $40M though that would definitely be a disaster, especially considering how front-loaded it should be.

Re: Ready Player One Predictions
That's not good but it is still a few weeks out - so they can build it up to a $50m OW if the WB marketing department can come to the party.
Disappointing that internet geeks are so hostile to this film though.

Re: Ready Player One Predictions
There is no cool factor with this film. It is too blatant and baiting with the nostalgia. And there are no stars, just some kid that nobody really likes.

Re: Ready Player One Predictions
It’s like a dour, less inventive version of Speed Racer. The book + author seem pretty odious so I’m happy to root against this.
