Steven Spielberg’s Hit Sci-Fi Thriller With a ‘House of the Dragon’ Star Levels Up on Streaming Charts
House of the Dragon's Olivia Cooke stars in this Steven Spielberg Sci-Fi thriller climbing Max's streaming charts.

It’s been three years since Steven Spielberg’s last movie was in theaters, but one of his more recent classics is experiencing quite a run of streaming success. Before he teamed up with Rachel Zegler for West Side Story, Spielberg helmed Ready Player One, the dystopian sci-fi thriller starring Tye Sheridan (X-Men: Apocalypse) and Olivia Cooke (House of the Dragon). Ready Player One arrived on Max not long ago, and the film wasted no time climbing the streamer’s charts, sitting at #4 at the time of writing. Andor’s Ben Mendelsohn also stars in Ready Player One, along with Mission: Impossible veteran Simon Pegg. The film earned scores of 71% from critics and 77% from audiences on Rotten Tomatoes, and it grossed $607 million at the global box office against a $175 million budget.
