Not as big as the first, but still a fantastic result, especially factoring in Illumination’s highly efficient budgeting

It’ll probably end up at 195m at this rate.

Bigger drop from Wednesday and overall number than the firsts $26.5 million probably mix of it being a more fan heavy audience and the mixed Wom and lack of novelty appeal the first had

A lower Thursday than the first despite opening higher so it’s a bit more clear now this movie will likely be more front-loaded.

$180-200M 5-day is a more reasonable number at this stage. Sequels to over-performers typically tend to go down rather than up.
Thinking a sub-$450M finish domestic, but overseas will likely see an Avengers 2 bump to still hit $1.2B WW, not too far off from Mario 1’s $1.3B take.

Now falling behind its predecessor had with $26.6M on a Thursday while still in the right range that @EmpireCityBO projected for its 5 day weekend around at least $180M

That’s a 28% drop from Wednesday. Par for the course because even if this had better WOM, it’d still have the sequel effect of being slightly more frontloaded than it’s original

It seems like he deleted it? I don’t see it on his account

I don’t know how many people were in the theater with me, I know about 15, and it was a 3D 1:45pm show. So yeah, that of course adds variables. And despite me telling myself I wasn’t going to I bought the Yoshi popcorn bucket as he’s always been my fave.
I did like the movie but it is a lesser movie than the first. They really did take the “the princess has been captured, go!” Plot line of the games and just decided to run with it for the feature. It works in the games because Mario always had great level design, but in a movie, eh. Like it does its job and I left happy. I thought there’d be more cameos based off the negative reviews but oh well. The 3D was amazing though, one of the best animated movies I’ve seen in 3D!
>!Will say criticism wise since this did strike me as odd: I was really loving the character development of bowser and got upset he changed after one speech from his son!<

Is that a slower cum compared to the original?

~20M lower than the first one, but still strong.
The film is now starting to lose a bit of strength compared to Super Mario Bros. (probably due to weaker audience reception compared to the first):
Super Mario Bros. vs Galaxy
1. WED: 31M vs 34M
2. THU: 26M vs 24M
Super Mario Bros. had a massive FRI jump, so we’ll have an even better idea on how high it can go as soon as we see its FRI gross.

Yeah unsurprising for a sequel to a billion dollar film with an A- CS. This is probably going to end up like Moana 2 with a big 5-day weekend but only a bit over 2x legs afterwards.
