Forums - Nintendo Discussion - Mario Movie Breaking Records; 5 Day Opening Weekend Set To Beat Frozen 2

PAOerfulone on 04 May 2023

1) Frozen II - $1,437,862,795 

2) Frozen I - $1,256,848,976 

3) Incredibles 2 - $1,242,805,359 

4) Minions - $1,157,271,759 

5) Toy Story 4 - $1,073,064,540

6) Toy Story 3 - $1,068,879,522 

7) The Super Mario Bros. Movie - $1,057,191,075 

By the end of this upcoming weekend, it will have blown right past Toy Story 3 & 4 and will be knocking on the Minions' door.

Honestly, when its run is over, I think the Mario Movie will probably be sitting comfortably at #2 all time and somewhere around the $1.3 million range. I think Frozen II is a little out of its reach, but at least it has set the stage for the eventual sequel to top it!

Never thought I'd see a video game movie worthy of being in there. ^^

I think it'll pass 1.35 billion so at least end up 2nd all time animation movies and 15th all time in general. Not sure it'll get any higher than that cuz then there's a gap on both the lists, but maybe it makes it to 14th all time.

Keeping in mind too it's harder to get past 1 billion+ these days. Movie business definitely took a hit post-COVID, if the Mario movie was this kind of hit pre-COVID, we're probably talking 1.4-1.5+ billion IMO.

It all depends on how long it's in the cinema for. If it's like avatar 2 where it last 6 months then it can reach 2 billion. If avatar 2 can do it so can Mario!

Doubtful, the average 2022 release grossed more than any other year since 2010 (and we had two of the top 5 all-time grosses in the past two years). The box office is just smaller overall because fewer movies are released in theaters these days. Ticket prices being up 10-20% since 2019 helps too.

If anything movies like No Way Home and Mario were aided by the absence of other significant releases for many weeks around them.

Anyone besides me wanna hear Chris Hemsworth as King K. Rool in a Donkey Kong Country movie? Or, assuming they're kids in the Mario movie continuity, actual child actors as Diddy Kong and Dixie Kong?
