Dang over $670 billion after just the second weekend. This thing is going to soar over a billion. Movies are going to be a major new source of revenue for Nintendo moving forward. And thank god. Cuz Nintendo has rigidly held their IP to mostly just video games for far too long. So much money sitting on the table for Nintendo expanding their IP to new formats.
Definitely expect a sequel, and animated DK movie, and Zelda live-action movie to be greenlit by Nintendo very soon.
If only Nintendo had timed a Mario game launch to coincide with the movie. We're still waiting for a dang 2D Mario game made for Switch!
