It’s really a triple threat. No big Marvel movie to contend with, one of the biggest, long lasting video game franchises ever, and made by Illumination, so you get all the parents bringing their kids.

I think the SMB movie, if it’s just by the trailers..an easy 1 Billion Dollars.
​
And let’s hope it does well, that could mean Zelda and possibly other Nintendo properties will make it to the movies. (with a focus on the kong family in this, i’m sure they already have preproduction on a DKC movie)

Ain’t no way this doesn’t make one mariollion dollars at the box office.

I’m going to see it since it’s the movie that Mario fans have been waiting 30 years for and frankly I owe it to my 8 year old self

It’ll just be okay.
What we’re really all waiting for is ***SUPER MARIO BROS 2 BABY.***

To really bring this full circle, some third party needs to make an incredibly mediocre platformer based on the movie.

I pre ordered my tickets this week. I can’t wait.

Although I’m disappointed with the casting, the movie is going to be a huge box office hit… that’s why I bought Nintendo stock to hold for the year. Nintendo has a huge year ahead. This movie is just the beginning, their entertainment brand is going to be huge

Mushroom kingdom here we come

Bro this movie is going to make 1B+
Nintenerds and kids are going to go back en mass to watch it.

Anyone else hoping this does well enough to spark a SSBB subspace emissary kind of story and movies?

Mama Mia! This is going to be huge.

Got my tickets already. Can’t wait!

I think a 5 day total of 85-90 million dollars is a bit low, there are many talking about this movie.

I’m kinda shocked at how many people I know didn’t know this movie existed until I told them in the last few weeks

It just confuses me why they decided to release it on a wednesday

Those look like huge numbers for the opening weekend of an animated movie, and if this film explodes in popularity, we are definitely getting a sequel.
Although, I am almost certain they will do a Donkey Kong spin-off as well since they are cramming in so many cameos of various Kongs from the DKC games, including ones we have not seen since the Rare era like Swanky and Kiddie Kong and Donkey Kong appears to have a sizable film in this movie.
Plus, let’s face it, a Donkey Kong film makes sense. Donkey Kong is an iconic character in his own right, many of his games have been massive hits, and his series has its own cast of characters it can use.
I would not be shocked if we get a Donkey Kong movie if the Super Mario Bros film really takes off.

I think Mario is a bigger deal than Minions.
As long as it’s not terrible I’m saying opening weekend will be $130-150M and its total domestic will end up around $450M and global close to 1.5B.
Maybe I’m wrong but I just think Mario has been an icon for long enough that there are grandparents that will have childhood memories of him, as well as him still being relevant to modern children and that will translate to huge numbers.

This will be my son’s first time at the movie theater. We are both exited and counting down the days.

On hand I think their will end up being the highest grossing video game movie. One the other, I have no idea wtf people do now post 2020 and with streaming.

First time I have booked tickets in advance for years.

At almost 28 years old, I am fucking giddy to go to my local budget theater so I can see this movie on my own.
My only concern is that the theater is part of an arcade with lots of kids, so I absolutely am going to find a time with as few of the screaming fuckers as possible.

I haven’t been to the movies in a year and I’m making a point to see this in theaters.

Even if this gets one star, it will use that to destroy anything in its path.

I was not interested in seeing it until that first trailer came out, my goodness does it look beautiful. Some of the voice acting seemed like a crazy idea, but again after the first trailer I was pleasantly suprised. I feel like it’ll have jokes for both grown ups and children and a movie that’ll hold up for years after its release. I hope it does well.

How is Miyamoto only worth $40 million? I thought he’d be a billionaire by now

If Minions: Rise of Gru made $100M+ dollars the opening weekend I feel like this has the potential to pass that. Not only is Mario loved by kids today but has a ton of legacy fans. I’m in my late 20’s and you can bet your life that imma drag me and my wife to the theater opening night.
The Easter opening might hurt it a little but in Japan its gonna rock because that’s when all of the schools let out. A similar movie Detective Pikachu released in early May and earned $50M+ but that was like right after Avengers: Endgame released. I could easily see this movie making $85M+.

My 3 year old recently beat mario odyssey. Him , his mother and I are hyped to see this movie. I hope it does well.

This is the first movie to make 1 Marioplex Dollars at the Box Office.

I want to see this but I think it was so shitty to pay Chris Pratt 10M+ to sound like garbage compared to the man who has been voicing Mario since the beginning. So unfortunately I won’t be seeing it
