Right around the same level as the first movie. Maybe more, maybe less.

The people who didn’t like the first movie won't be encouraged by the incoming reviews that seem to indicate that the flaws and issues they had with the first movie weren’t addressed (pacing, bare bones plot). So they’ll pass on the second film this go round.

It remains to be seen whether the new viewers and/or viewers who passed on seeing the first film in theaters, loved what the saw when it came to streaming, and will now go to the theaters for the second movie, can match or outweigh the aforementioned disgruntled viewers of the first movie.

@bold: that's definitely me. I saw the first movie out of my deep love for the IP and to pay tribute to my 8-year-old self, but came out of the theater discouraged. I expect the sequel will be similarly disappointing.

But I don't think movie snobs like me will move the needle much. There is a huge audience for this film, from many different age groups and demographics.
