$3M flat would already be bad. Sub $3M is genuinely terrible.

The first movie powered up; the second movie just got hit by a koopa shell.

This movie will get to 1b when it’s all said and done. Guaranteed

Oh looks like ERC rounded up. No way to sugarcoat it, this drop is rancid.

I know this movie will make a ton of money, but I really couldn’t have been too hard to make a good movie. We have seen the difference between a very well received Sequel(Zootopia 2, Inside Out 2) and a less well received sequel(Moana 2). Sure all are very profitable movies, but you can see the difference in gross.

below the estimates as predicted.

That’s not good but I still think this will get to 430M+ domestic
Remember guys, this is the only big kids/animated movie until June when Toy Story 5 comes out.

The weaker WOM + typical sequel frontloadedness

Barely half than what the first movie did on its 2nd Monday. Not great legs indeed. I’m not ready to throw 1 billion out the window yet though, but it has no shot at outgrossing the original.
It seems that people, even many of the diehard fans, are more vocal than before that this movie needed a better story. They don’t just want references anymore. Hopefully Illumination and Nintendo listen and have the third movie be better in quality.

Even lower, WOW.
That is ~3M less than what The Super Mario Bros. Movie did in its 2nd MON: 5.8M (!)
Just like that, their difference increased by 3M, crazy.
I‘m starting to think that even a 425M+ final is going to be difficult for Super Mario Galaxy, which is just insane to even say.
1B+ globally should still happen tho, unless it totally implodes in Japan.

$2.9M down from $3M estimates, and Super Mario Bros grossed $5.8M in the same timeframe.
While brands like Mario, Moana, and Minions may be *fail*-proof, they aren’t reception-proof. Though it’s mainly for kids, a quality product still matters, especially to the parents who are the ones spending money. Hopefully, studios will keep that in mind for future sequels.
Obviously it’s still a hit, but what is this big drop from the first movie going to mean for Mario 3? If they just do the same thing for the third time, it’s probably gonna underperform even more.
Do you think Nintendo and Illumination will actually learn a lesson this time? Like the fact that shoving in a bunch of random video game references that only a small number of people will recognize doesn’t actually boost your box office, and actually making a good plot that appeals to general audiences is more important.
I already hate that they botched the Galaxy adaptation and I probably won’t bother watching the third Mario movie in theatres unless it suddenly gets a 70+ on Rotten Tomatoes.

Oh my goodness… another low estimates numbers from its estimated $3M Monday after Monday which mixed WOM is affecting its legs similar to what Moana 2 faced even with holiday boast actually helped during its 4th weekend until its 6th weekend
