It seems to be heading for nearly 50+m 4 day opening domestically and reviews are great so the legs should be decent too. Its rating in China is very high as well and it has a chance of doing 100-120 there. So it should easily get to 400+. But with such a high budget its gonna need to do a lot more than 400 to turn a profit. 

[Premium George]

$450m-$470m would be enough to turn a profit. That's more than 2.5x  production budget.

[Barnack]

It probably depends on Spielberg / Amblin production deal quite a bit how much it need (does he has first dollar point ?).

 

 

Budget can growth quite a bit before reaching profitability with a big name director/producer like that.

What would be a good comparison? ASM2? I don't remember a Big director film from those leaks.

For an extreme example you can look at MIB 3:

 

At the break even point they estimated it would have cost them 89.65m in bonus, making the budget you need to have in mind for where it breakeven point would end up is more 249.7+90m budget, 340m.

 

And you can compare it to After Earth were people accepted to not have first dollar gross to see how low the GP Break was estimated on that one (262m).

 

For good comparison there is not many, Da Vinci Code (177m net budget), Hancock (166m) could be but a bit of a different era and RPO first dollar gross will not be close I would imagine because there is no movie star getting them also.

From Deadline:

 

Warner Bros. is reporting an opening day of $2.9M for Steven Spielberg’s Ready Player One in 11 territories with when previews are included a running overseas tally of $3.2M off 4,075 screens. Coupled with stateside Wednesday night previews of $3.75M, Ready Player One as of right now has a global take just under $7M.

 

In South Korea, Ready Player One was ranked second behind a local title earning $980K off 944 screens. That’s 14% better than the first day of Pacific Rim: Uprising and 33% higher than day one of Kong: Skull Island. RPO also came in ahead of all of the The Hunger Games movies.

 

Ready Player One slotted No. 1 in France with a 45% share of the top five pics  (55% share in the Paris market), grossing an estimated $794k with 85k admissions from 719 screens. That’s on par with Maze Runner: The Death Cure and ahead of Kong: Skull Island by 12% and Pac Rim 2 by 58%. 

 

The VR spectacle was also No. 1 in Italy with $323k on 604 screens, besting the opening days of Pac Rim 2 by +66%, Skull Island  by +74% and Death Cure by +88%.

It is breaking out in China. $200m could be the target there. Who knows if more...

[NCsoft]

Really happy that this film is able to capture the Chinese audiences, let's hope for $200M+ in China and $600M+ WW.

I'd say Kong numbers overseas + even more if its warmly received in Latin America and Europe (especially Europe)

From Deadline

2nd Update, Friday: Ready Player One including its full domestic Thursday of $12M is currently up to $40.3M worldwide.

$14.6M of that figure comes from China which reps the third best debut for a Warner Bros. movie of all-time. Opening day results there are +15% over Tomb Raider, +19% ahead of Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle and +44% ahead of Star Wars: The Last Jedi and +69% ahead of Maze Runner: The Death Cure. RPO is in play on 15,800 screens in China and received a 9.1 review rating on Douban, which is huge considering most Hollywood movies have scored a 6 or 7 review rating.

Thirty-seven other markets that debuted on Thursday pulled in $10.4M on 15k screens for a $13.7M total.
