Can't beat 80s Nostalgia....

With numbers Like that there's a Good shot there will be a sequel.

I guarantee this film will have a little Jumanji in it too... It will have staying power. I already want to see it again and it feels like others do too. Word will spread, plus you have to go back to catch all the easter eggs.

Steven Spielberg’s Ready Player One, with what amounts to 85% of its international footprint stomping across the globe, has grossed $128M in 62 territories. Warner Bros. enjoyed its biggest weekend ever in China where it opened to $61.7M on its 18,200 screens. That one territory — where it has enjoyed a high Douban score of 9.2 — accounted for more than half of its screens as the virtual reality themed-film based on the Ernest Cline book played on 35,600 screens this weekend overseas. The global tally for the weekend is a big $181.3M. It also was the No. 1 film in North America.

I don't keep up w/this crap much -- is this the first time a movie has had a bigger debut in China?

could be one of those turning points in history

God, I hope not.

There's no second book, so I hope they don't just make shite up for money.

IMO they stripped most the 80s nostalgia out of the story. Biggest change in an adaptation that I can recall.

If Cline is writing a RP2 and they make that, cool. I do not want to see them make Armada into a movie. It was crap.
