Looks like the Mario movie could make $200 Million domestic by Sunday night and already put it in the 3rd highest domestic grossing movie so far in 2023 after only 5 days in the theaters.
Disney's Lightyear made $118 Million domestic in total.
Disney's Strange World made $38 Million domestic in total.
It's amazing how much money you can make on an animated feature when you're not pushing an agenda to the parents and brainwashing the children with it.

Not only did Super Mario Bros. make nearly $205 Million on its opening weekend, but it pulled in $377 Million worldwide.
In only 5 days, it is now already the highest grossing video game movie ever made.
It is now the highest grossing worldwide opening weekend for any animated feature ever, dethroning Disney's Frozen 2 from that spot.
It is now the second highest grossing Domestic opening weekend for animated features, falling behind only The Incredibles 2.
It has a 52% critic score on Rotten Tomatoes.
A huge fuck you to Disney and their propaganda machine, and to all of the movie critics that will be out of jobs soon when ChatGPT is able to do better. That won't be long because the bar is very, very low.

Mario just made $20,110,945 on its first Monday. That's $4 Million more than Avatar 2 made on its first Monday, which is bonkers. I'd love to see a list of all of the movies that came out so far in 2023 and find out how many didn't even make $20 Million on opening night, let alone the following Monday. I bet there's a LOT more that didn't than did.
We're close to 1/4 of a Billion dollars Domestically and it's only been in the theater 6 days. Worldwide, we're $2.5 Million short of $400 Million in that same time frame.
Shazam 2 has made $128,170,471 worldwide in 25 days.
Ant-Man Quantumania has made $466,833,131 in 53 days.
Even at Day 6, Avatar 2 only made $183,049,646 Domestic, which is $41 Million less than Mario made in the same time.
I'm under no illusion that the Mario movie is going to beat A2's worldwide gross. It is a family friendly kids movie and it will lose steam.
But the real joke here is all of the film critics who suck at their jobs and need to be replaced by people with actual talent before AI replaces them. I'm sure somebody has a YouTube compilation video of all of these (mostly single white millennial women) critics shitting all over the movie right before it came into theaters and shattered (and continues to shatter) multiple all-time records.
I have no interest personally in seeing this movie and likely won't ever see it, but I'm grateful to Nintendo and Universal for the show they're putting on right now.

Worldwide Box office for the Mario Movie after only 9 days: $509,221,843
It actually had Disney/Marvel's Quantumania beat yesterday, but I forgot to look.
After 56 days, Quantumania only made $466,918,606.
So yeah... It took Nintendo/Universal 1/7th the time to make the same amount worldwide as it did for Disney/Marvel to make with its last super hero movie. Mario also took half as much money to make as Quantumania did ($100 Million vs $200 Million).
It's also made more than 2 times the amount of money that Disney/Pixar's last two flicks generated in total in only 9 days. And it only cost $100 Million vs $200 Million for Lightyear and $135 Million for Strange World.

The-Numbers predicts $60 Million more this weekend and a 59% drop. Not just because it did SO well last weekend, but because there are 6 new wide releases, which is a record since fake Covid shut down everyone's businesses and livelihoods.
They say it could do better than this though, possibly reaching up to $70 Million.
We'll see. 
P.S. Fuck you, Disney.

It looks as though Mario is going to blow right past Bruce's top prediction of $70 Million for the weekend with a studio projection of a whopping $87 MILLION!
Worldwide Box Office for The Super Mario Bros. Movie is now $677,959,700 in only 12 Days.
We're right on the heels of Thor: Love and Thunder now, and Black Panther 2 is next.
And really, when you consider both of those movies cost 2.5 times as much to make, SMB already won.
Get fucked, Disney.

$92,347,190
Universal was being modest.
$683,306,890 worldwide in 12 days.
It should blow by Thor: Love and Thunder by the end of next weekend and be hot on the heels of Black Panther 2 by then.

Interesting facts about the movie so far.
It increased the amount of theaters showing it the second week by 28, for a total of 4,371.
After Day 12 Stats:
Top 2023 Movies at the Domestic Box Office: 1st Place
All Time Domestic Box Office for Based on Game Movies: 1st Place
All Time Domestic Animated Box Office: 14th Place
All Time Domestic Box Office for Digital Animation Movies: 13th Place
All Time Domestic Box Office for Universal Movies: 9th Place
And new numbers came in internationally, so Worldwide Box Office now sits at $692,968,890 in only 12 Days.
It was never going to beat A2 Internationally, but to put that into context, A2 crossed $700 Million worldwide in 8 days. But at that point in time, A2 only had $216 Million Domestic, while SMB already had $220 Million Domestic on Day 6.
It's a kids movie though. It will taper off at some point. There's no way it's going to beat A2 Domestically in the end, but it should easily pull in a Billion dollars off of a $100 Million budget and put all the other Disney/Marvel WB/DC movies since End Game to shame.
