Deadline reports that Ready Player One added an estimated $42 million to its box office gross from China, thus bringing its total in the country to a whopping $161.3 million.
While Ready Player One may possibly earn more than $200 million in China in the coming weeks, it has yet to cross the $100 million domestically.
That’s evident by the fact that Ready Player One‘s box office gross only dropped 40% in its second weekend.
Steven Spielberg’s Ready Player One is outperforming every other Warner Bros. movie in China. The film – starring Tye Sheridan, Olivia Cooke, Ben Mendelsohn, Mark Rylance, and more – is based on the 2011 novel of the same name by Ernest Cline, who co-wrote the movie’s screenplay alongside Zak Penn (The Avengers).
