Steven Spielberg Has Brought In A Gross Total Of $10bn at the Worldwide Box Office Ready Player One has reached $475m at the worldwide box office and thanks to this number it sees Steven Spielberg directed movies pushed over the overall ten billion dollars at the worldwide box office.  This of course means that all his movies combined over the decades see Spielberg the first director to achieve this dizzying high number.  His closest rivals are Peter Jackson (Lord of the Rings), James Cameron (Avatar) and Michael Bay (Transformers) who all sit around the $6bn mark. Steven Spielberg has said in a previous interview that he isn't that concerned for box office takings especially these days when it comes to his movies and doesn't look back.  'I make movies and I work a lot and I look forward all the time. I don't often look back' Spielberg said.  His recent movies such as Lincoln and The Post were made by Spielberg because he wanted to make them.  Spielberg sa...

Ready Player One Weekend Box Office Takings Are Positive Ready Player One has come in at number one over its (four day) opening weekend by taking a domestic $53 million.  Remember just a few weeks ago we were reporting that tracking services were predicting between $38m and $55m so those numbers will please Warner Bros. by topping the top end of that prediction.   The movie studio stepped up their advertising for the movie in the last two weeks before the launch so there will be some movie studio executives who will be exhaling a sigh of relief.  Global takings are also a good news story with an impressive $128m bringing the total to $181m.  The movie is worthy of a repeat viewing so I suspect the Spielberg directed movie will have some staying power at the cinemas.  The opening figures make Ready Player One Spielberg's biggest opener since Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull in 2008. Ready Player One has been favourable with crit...

Ready Player One is set to open with ticket sales between $38 million and $55 million over its four day opening weekend.  That's according to various tracking services.  That would be a little disappointing for Warner Bros. who are looking at a strong opening weekend, especially after the massive promotional campaign that is currently hitting TVs, magazines, tours and the web. If those numbers are to be believed then it would be Steven Spielberg's biggest debut since Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull way back in 2008.  That movie took a whisker over $100 million on its opening weekend. Warner Bros. are looking to entice a wider audience with the latest data showing that the majority of interest for Ready Player One is mainly the male moviegoer. “There’s still time to build buzz,” Paul Dergarabedian, senior media analyst at comScore, told Variety. “Three weeks is an eternity to build an audience. In three weeks, we could be looking at a whole diffe...

According to Forbes , Jurassic World just had the biggest Friday opening ever. Taking into account Thursday night previews, the total Friday take was $82.6 million. However, take away those Thursday numbers, and Friday has a "pure” gross of $64.1 million. That places it ahead of previous record holders Furious 7 (with $51.6 million), Iron Man 3 ($53.25 million), Avengers: Age of Ultron ($56.86 million) and The Avengers ($62.7 million). That tally basically shows that Jurassic World  isn’t a just niche movie for fans of the franchise, but that it has broad appeal for the movie-going public in general. And there's still Saturday and Sunday... Will it hit the projected $200 million? It seems clear, Jurassic World is the summer movie to beat this year. In my opinion, it deserves all the success.
