Thanks @Shanks, those daily numbers are insane.  @Carlangonz, is TS4 2nd weekend record in peril?

 

Well record is Fri-Sun so kinda tricky. I was expecting Mario to match it with Thu-Sun after Thu figures but the actual Fri-Sun record seems complicated. Anyway I do remain with $50M-$51M after this weekend and perhaps an extra $1M.

[Purple Minion]

Deadline: In Mexico, Super Mario is the No. 1 movie of the year and now the third-highest-grossing studio animation ever (again, at current rates). It has overtaken The Rise of Gru and Toy Story 3. The local cume through Friday is $43.4M with an estimated 46% drop for the full weekend versus the opening frame.

 

So 61M-ish lc Friday for a 780M lc total.

[Carlangonz]

So yeah something like o/u $52M by Monday morning. Toy Story 4 is going down.

[Purple Minion]

$52M total for Mario as predicted, ~940M lc. #8 all-time.

$943M. TS4 was at $948M so they remain neck on neck and with a better ER we should be looking at $75M+ USD.

 

I'm thinking it surpasses The Lion King by Wed, The Way of Water by Sat and may even IW and Coco next weekend.

Other totals: D&D $5M, Air $1.8M.

[Carlangonz]

I gotta wait and see how night goes but Sun seems bigger than expected. Perhaps a large rush pre-return to school and half a million above 

[Carlangonz]

Shit the actuals  estimates came in at $265M but it's actually at $292M! 3-Day 2nd weekend record came short only by $1M. We didn't have such an underestimation like this since Toy Story 4. Sunday pretty much on line with past Sunday!

Anyway. $969.4M and above Woody & Buzz at the same point -considering the extra two days- on its way to $1.4B

[Carlangonz]

To put things into perspective:

Super Mario Bros joins Toy Story 4 as the only animated titles whose second weekends where bigger than the opening weekend of any other animated title that wasn't them 

[Purple Minion]

It is absolutely bonkers. 13.3M tickets sold for the Italian Bros, straight into the Top 25*. Cc: @grey ghost

Does Mario have a shot at highest grossing movie ever in Mexico? How much NWH did in pesos?

Something like 0.5M extra. 20M is locked. Nevermind about Toy Story 4, next victim is Endgame and $80M+

1,615,000,000, so it's a high target, Mario would need to seriously over-perform this week and then develop decent legs. I think TS4 should be the goal to beat.

 

Suzume OW: 10.6M lc, about $580K. The Pope's Exorcist had a good hold.

I honestly think Mario has a decent shot then, would be legendary if it did.

TS4 legs take it just over $1.4B and after weekend 2 had to deal with Far From Home and Lion King plus summer break supporting late legs. Mario doesn't have anything until Guardians 3 and late legs damaged by Fast X but neither of them is going to be as hurtful as FFH and TLK. Plus Mario WOM seems to be better and May 1st holiday is there as well.

Beating No Way Home in lc requires it to take all-time admissions record from Toy Story 4 but that one is going to be tough.

$13.6M including wednesday for Suzume. On par with expectations. I didn't expect Pope's Exorcist to pass $100M and tbh I didn't expect it to be this big compared to US.

If you thought Universal is killing it with Mario wait until you meet Shrek 5.

Ofc we need to expect inflation because even before pandemic admissions were already peaking and today that requires 28M tickets.
