Ready Player One | March 29, 2018 | Spielberg directing | No untagged spoilers allowed

[TheDarkKnightOfSteel]

Well this was an absolute blast from start to finish.I loved it.Spielberg once again is great and the way he builds the world is damn perfect.Story is great too and very well stractured.The characters could have used a bit more development but they are all likeable.Art3mis stole the show for me but the actors all made a very good job.Villain was ok i guess.Amazing Visuals(mind blowing stuff).And the biggest take away for me is that all the cameos and easter eggs are not there just to fill the screen (they could have easily got into that trap and overutilize the pop culture character).AND FREAKING IRON GIANT MAN...after all these years i still want more of him.

 

Do note,i have never read the book before.

I think because of the genre there might be some front-loading during the 4-day ow but overall legs may be better than expected if it is such a blast for the GA. If it opens to 45 FSS, 20 + 15 (-25%) + 10 (-33%), then needs 2.8x to cross 125 dom.

I'm seeing this Tuesday night, hopefully its good

Thanks for sharing your thoughts man, it's really appreciated.

 

This movie is quickly becoming my most anticipated of the year until November.

What could possibly be coming out in November that would peak your attention

received my EW in the mail today and it has Ready Player One on the cover and an article about it.  Not sure if I should read it as they tend to be spoilerish more often than not

82% on RT (7.2avg) with 55 reviews. Hopefully this ends the box office drought the last few weeks.

Most reviews seem positive but a bit lukewarm about the movie. It's better than expected - good vs very good/excellent and such movies don't always have long legs though yeah it has little competition for a bit.

WoM in China seems break out.After Beijing advanced screen tonight,Score on Douban is excellent.

But pre-sale is a bit low now.We have to wait for GA score.There will be another Screen in Shanghai tomorrow.And nationalwide preview at Thursday night for General Audience. I Hope RP1 do well in China.Qingming Festival is in 3 days.Holiday bonus in Asian region too

I was raised on Hook, so I'm expecting to love this. 

[Lucas]

83% now, that fresh streak has gone on way longer than I would've predicted.

the rest of his review on letterboxd

Quote

it didn’t really work for me as spectacle (something like Sword Art Online mines similar terrain more successfully), but i dug it as a knotted meta-commentary about our relationship to the things we create / the paralyzing nature of nostalgia. only Spielberg could have made this, and it's mostly interesting only *because* Spielberg actually did.[/spoiler]

 

 

 

Ok, that actually sounds good.

That letterboxd review made me more interested in the film 

[WittyUsername]

I’m really hoping that this movie manages to break out at the box office. This has been a really dead month for movies. Hollywood desperately needs something other than a Marvel movie to be a big hit.

Got to admit, this might be the best bit of marketing related to RPO so far.  And at THE exact right time.

Not sure what this is all about to be honest. How is this good marketing? I googled Carl Jr. and I guess it's a fast-food chain? This seems like a weird situation.
