It depends on how well the first movie was received critically, how THIS one will be received critically, and the competition it is up against.

Opinions on the first Mario movie were generally positive and favorable. Go if you go to Rotten Tomatoes and Metacritic, amongst other sits, critics didn't care much for it, but the general audience loved it! And that's reflected in "The Numbers" page where it shows the movie had much stronger legs than originally projected from its opening weekend.

So word of mouth was strong with the first movie. Because of that, I think the opening weekend numbers this time around will be higher and the 2nd movie will get off to a faster start. And if the movie proves to be just as good, if not better, than the 1st film - that will help its legs and give it a solid chance of eclipsing the first film.

A brief scene from the Game Awards:

New trailer from today's Direct, and the release date has been changed to the 1st of April

Yoshi ate a Chain Chomp. He ATE A CHAIN CHOMP. O_O

Merch leaked of Rosalina.

Yoshi doesn't sound like Kazumi Totaka. I wonder who it is.

I don't know, but the voice reminded me of Frank Welker because he's used that kind of voice for a lot of small and/or cute creatures, like Orbitty on The Jetsons, or Slimer on The Real Ghostbusters.

That's ever leaked toy for the Mario Galaxy movie so far. I have a feeling more could be coming soon.

Coming for 1 billion.

Hopefully duration is a little bit longer than 1st movie

I wanted more time shown in the desert and underwater. :(
