Pre-release I was saying it would hit $1bn, after release I got a little unsure and lowered it to around $800m because I wasn't sure how its legs would hold up after all the Minecraft diehards and kids have gone to see it (the Cinemascore was overall B+ but Under-18s gave it an A). But seeing the 2nd weekend...Box Office Reddit seem to be saying it has had a really good 2nd weekend so far and $1bn seems even more likely now but I already made my prediction and changing feels like cheating, Lol. Doesn't mean I'm not doubting my own prediction now!
I don't think even if it hits $1bn+ it will beat Mario.
Really don't know why anyone underestimated it as much as they did though, even experts predictions were completely off. It will be a huge success for Warner Bros and much needed relief for the company. Probably saved some jobs and took some pressure off whatever is next for Warner Bros given the struggles they've had lately.
