So basically it's this year's Kong Skull Island. Good for it. Might check it out if it releases and I get time. Tbh Rampage and Avengers are only flicks I am willing to shell out bucks in April.

English is not my mother tongue but to describe the amazing, never before seen in a 195m film, visuals for Ready Player One I had those words in mind :

 

- CGI Porridge

- CGI Hogwash

- CGI Vomit

 

Perhaps a mix of the three would work best I think.

RPO is a lot of fun, I’d say it’s mid tier Spielberg along the lines of Minority Report and Tintin but it proves he hasn’t lost his touch for directing blockbusters.

I ve never tried a VR helmet but I know that obviously, in order to work properly in real time according to your momvements, you have a giant downgrade in terms of graphics as opposed to normal gaming so Ready Player One had at least this part of the story right, the moment those kids put their VR helmets on, they are transported back in time with godawful CGI from 20 years ago !

So Zemeckis-ian !!!

Some pretty amazing predictions for China, hard to believe after a normal first day (below PRU), but by CBO experts. It is going to be a fun weekend.

I have it dropping just over 20%. Love, Simon had an insane increase yesterday, and I think that's dropping in the high-teens; a similar increase for ICOI would make me adjust my prediction.

How about $1.67M Thursday for ICOI?:)...

 

(Deadline Thursday) Fourth place belonged to Roadside Attractions I Can Only Imagine which earned $1.67M (+11%) and a two week tally of $44.8M.

PostTrak shows a glowing 4 1/2 starts out of five and an overall 83% positive for Ready Player One. Men over 25 were in abundance at 39% but with an 83% positive score. Men under 25 who showed up at 27% loved it the most with a 91% positive score. Women over 25 at 20% gave the movie an 85% with women under 25 only repping 14% of all moviegoers for a score of 75%.

Tyler Perry’s Acrimony from Lionsgate is eyeing $6M-$7M in its opening day today for a $15M-$17M take. If these figures hold, the Taraji P. Henson movie will see a No. 2 take; a huge improvement for the actress after January’s freefall Proud Mary which opened to $9.9M and finaled at $20.8M.

 

God’s Not Dead: A Light in Darkness from Pureflix, the Easter weekend’s third entry, is projected to make $900K today for a $2.5M weekend.

PPS - Friday #s RPO $15M, Acrimony $6-7M (including previews), GND3 $900K (including whatever tiny previews it had)...

Gotta admit it’s not looking great domestic. That’s a worse Friday jump than GI Joe!

This wont decrease on Saturday but okkkkk

Looks like Professor Kevin Sorbo’s dream finally came true.

[Jonwo]

Why are we assuming it’ll drop on Saturday? it might stay flat or increase slightly. It’s not a superhero film or a sequel.

GI Joe increased 1.2% on Saturday with a 45.8% increase on Friday and 4.77x preview to OD multi. RPO only had a 3.2x preview to OD multi and is looking at a 25% increase today if that number holds. I highly doubt this is increasing tomorrow.
