Spielberg’s latest thriller based on virtual reality games, Ready Player One, is closing in on the top spot at the box office with an estimated $53 million. This is after its Thursday previews topped with $17 million, knocking Universal’s Pacific Rim to number 5 as the other new movie that came out this weekend; Lionsgate’s Acrimony is set to take 2 with just over $7 million.
That also bumps Black Panther, which had stayed at the top of the box office for 7 consecutive weeks to number 3 with another $11 million as the religious film, I Can Only Imagine, which over-performed expectations as it is expected to bring in a solid $10 million this weekend, but brought its total up to an impressive $50 million.
Other timely Easter films currently out include Sony-Affirm’s Paul, Apostle of Christ which is expected to bring in roughly $3.5 million as well as the latest release of the God’s Not Dead franchise, A Light In Darkness which is expected to open with over $3 million at 1693 theaters.
