Steven Spielberg’s Hit Sci-Fi Thriller With a ‘House of the Dragon’ Star Levels Up on 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.
