NEW YORK (AP) — Game on for "Ready Player One."

Steven Spielberg's virtual reality adventure launched slightly above expectations with $53.7 million over the four-day Easter weekend and $41.8 million over the three-day weekend, according to final box-office figures Monday. The opening gave Spielberg his best since 2008's "Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull," as well as 2018's high-grossing debut for anything not named "Black Panther."

Still, for a $175 million film, the Warner Bros. release will need to have strong legs to make "Ready Player One" a success. Its international rollout is helping, where the film grossed $128 million over the weekend, including an especially robust $61.7 million from China.

Tyler Perry's "Acrimony" followed in second with $17.1 million over the three-day weekend. The Lionsgate release, starring Taraji P. Henson, drew an overwhelmingly female audience.
