Ready Player One is also the fourth highest grossing domestic movie of the year, behind Black Panther, Peter Rabbit, and Fifty Shades Freed.
This also makes Ready Player One the fourth highest grossing movie of the year so far and considering the fact that two of the top three are Chinese features that have seen little box office success outside of China, that’s pretty impressive.
There’s less than $20 million separating RPO from the number two spot, so there’s a pretty good chance it will get there, though, the gap between Black Panther and everything else is so big that pretty much everybody except the biggest movies will be fighting for second place for the rest of the year.
