The film has grossed $34 million domestically in its first day, which is above the first movie's $31 million.

It also scored another $34m on the rest of the world, which is a bit above the first one as well. An impressive start for sure.

Bet with Teeqoz for 2 weeks of avatar and sig control that Super Mario Odyssey would ship more than 7m on its first 2 months. The game shipped 9.07m, so I won

I loved it, don't think I've ever liked Bowser Jr this much and Peach is BADASS

I saw it yesterday and I had a good time. The movie actually had character development. Which I really wasn't expecting at all from a Mario movie. It's not Shakespeare or anything. It's just a fun movie. In these stressful times, some dumb fun was greatly appreciated by me.

The film has grossed $122 million in it's first two days, which is slightly ahead of the first film over the same period:

Dang these Nintendo movies just print money! It’s also apparently outperforming a Pixar animation (Hopper), though I’m not too sure how much of this is an impressive feat by Nintendo v. a lackluster display by Pixar.

I watched it again today. I liked it a little bit more than before, but I still prefer the first one.

Just saw it.

It was really fun, I liked it!

If you loved the first movie, you’ll love the second one.

Whether or not it’s better than the first one or if I found it more enjoyable than the first. I’ can’t say for 100% certain just yet. I’ll need a second viewing to formulate a more solid opinion. But for now? Eh, I’d say they’re about the same level.

From first impressions, I think it did everything better than the first movie except for ONE thing. But that ONE thing, they fucked up so bad that it REALLY brought the whole thing down a notch or two. And if it weren’t for that ONE tjing they got so wrong, I’d be saying that this fipm blows the first one out of the water, easily.

But alas, that’s not the case.

Bottom line:
As a movie in general, it’s not really all that good. Neither was the first one for that matter.

But as a Mario movie? It is absolutely FANTASTIC!
Same as the first one.

What did they fuck up?
