      1 billion is still happening as long as Japan pulls around 60-75 million in guessing

      Can it still do $1B? Mario really is playing out like Moana 2, both had potential for another $300M+ with better quality.

      $1B still doesn’t look difficult yet. Just needs Japan and South Korea to pull through.

      That’s a ~42.2% drop from an 83.5 million 2nd weekend. It’s now almost at three quarters of a billion. Will be interesting to see how much of an impact Michael will have on this purely on capacity constraints from the next weekend.

      Damn. The international box office continues drop as well…

      Super Mario Bros. vs Galaxy

      OVERSEAS:

      1. wknd: 171M vs 181M (+10M)
      2. wknd: 340M vs 321M (-19M)
      3. wknd: 439M vs 392M (-47M)

      DOMESTIC:

      1. wknd: 204M vs 190M (-14M)
      2. wknd: 353M vs 307M (-46M)
      3. wknd: 436M vs 355M (-81M)

      WORLDWIDE

      1. wknd: 375M vs 372M (-3M)
      2. wknd: 693M vs 628M (-65M)
      3. wknd: 875M vs 747M (-128M)

      This will hopefully motivate Nintendo and Illumination to do a better job with the next film, because these movies actually have massive potential. There is no reason for why they should not perform on par with something like Frozen II, Inside Out 2 and even Zootopia 2.

      1B+ is going to be difficult, though still likely for now imo. Let‘s see how it does next weekend in Japan and against Michael.

      It’s like a 47/53% split in favor of international now. Japan numbers will be crucial given it won’t generate much money in South Korea.

      For comps I’ve seen people using

      27M ahead of Minecraft weekend 3 ($720M)

      30M ahead of Moana 2 weekend 3 ($717M)

      25M behind Lilo & Stitch weekend 3 ($772M)

      I was expecting $750 mil by end of 3rd wknd, so pretty close. International holds are also not very good. I think domestic actuals will come in lower like last 2 wknds

      First movie was at $436 mil off a $171 mil OW.

      This is at $392 mil with $182 mil OW despite more markets in release

      Japan/Korea should do $60-70 mil , compared to the $120 mil the first movie did in those two markets.
      But I think it will have big drops the next two weeks due to Michael and Prada 2. The first movie made $1.03B by the end of its 4th wknd itself

      $747M VS $872M

      Final: $980M-1.03B

      42.2% drop internationally, it’s definitely holding a bit better overseas than domestically.

      Japan and Korea more likely than not pushing this past a billion as long as it doesn’t implode there.

      1.0-1.05B still a go I’d say.

    12. PatternPlenty1107 on

      Super Mario Galaxy is a huge financial success already, but I think it was a mistake to entrust this massive IP to Illumination of all studios.

      At first it looked like only online people were hating on the film, but now even the general public is actively rejecting it.

      Let‘s hope they understand what went wrong here, before it gets worse, cause this film franchise literally just started. Relying on nostalgia alone only works once. Later on, you‘ll also need an actual story and a great one at that.

      Great! Please hire writers next time, Nintendo. That way, you can get to this headline a hell of a lot quicker by making a better movie.

    15. Witty-Jacket-9464 on

      Almost $750M after the third weekend. $1B is not even the question. Especially given Japan & SK. Likely $1.05-1.1B final

    16. newjackgmoney21 on

      Oh man, lol. A billion is going to be so close. You can toss out Moana 2 as a comp out because that film’s billion run was saved by the Holidays. No holidays for Galaxy.

      I think the best comp for Mario Galaxy is Minecraft. This was Minecraft’s Easter weekend. So, Minecraft had good holds during the up coming weekdays that Mario Galaxy won’t have.

      Its all on Japan like Jurassic World: Dominion where Japan barely pushed it over a billion.
