Again, you can tack on another $250 to $300 million for the Korea and Japan markets still about 2 weeks away. So if this was a true world wide release we would likely be over $750 million at this point. How high is the ceiling on this film?  Will it get past Frozen 2 for the highest animated film of all time, which was $1.45 billion?  This looks like it has a legitimate chance of $1.5 to $1.6.

Wow, got to say a 41% drop is really good.

Mario Bros deserves all the $$$ headed it’s way for being what people want; a fun, family movie without strings attached.

A movie company knew what their audience was and made a film to make that audience happy.  Amazing what happens when you do that.

I really can't wait to see this movie, hopefully this weekend!  I'm a big fan of the Super Mario Bros. franchise ever since I was a little boy starting off with the original NES video games. With the huge success of this movie, I hope that other video game classics such as the Legend of Zelda, Metroid, etc will follow suit in the silver screen!  Posting my current NES Super Mario Bros. collection

I gave them more money this weekend. My son and his friend wanted to see it again and his friend’s dad was looking for an excuse to go. 

Held up as a fun escape movie with tons of nostalgia slipped in. It doesn’t rely on it, but the subtle music changes, background posters and background cameos make it enjoyable.

I wish my friends' kids were old enough to take to a theater and appreciate this. They're all under 3, though.

My son is right at the age where I started playing Mario as a kid, so it was cool to see him pointing out all the stuff and turning to me and saying “remember that.” My almost 4yo daughter tolerated most of it because of him, but we lost her at the end. 

If this spawns a whole new line of movies, it would be cool to see them bring it back to theaters in future years for new audiences to enjoy on the big screen.
