THE SUPER MARIO BROS MOVIE WEEKEND THREAD

[kayumanggi]

I hope the holdovers rebound big time next weekend.

Just jaw-dropping for Mario, and Air hitting $20M+ for the 5-day is sensational for a movie that once seemed destined to go straight to streaming. Movie theaters win!

This easter weekend generate more than $200m from all movies at the BO. Most importantly, this is a pure $200m weekend, unlike often time this was achieved by cheating Thursday preview into Friday's gross, such as the weekend when BP2 and DS2 opened. 

 

And AIR provide a good-counterprogramming, >$20m from 5 days opening is the best case scenario for a mid-budget drama. I can argue that all holdovers held reasonably decent well considering there is a mega-sized opener in the running. The only pity is that DnD didn't hold better but you can't really hope for a better 2nd weekend when a movie lost all PLF screens and have that $1.5m advance screening included in the OW.

I see 90M. I hope it holds better in the coming weeks for 100M to be alive.

It's gonna be a rough ride there if it makes it...I'd lean against after this weekend, but we'll see how the upcoming movies fare and if they leave room for holdovers against Mario...

Tough because of Mario's performance I see holdovers losing screens rapidly as exhibitors try to capitalise on Mario's popularity.

Already saw John Wick losing 200+ theaters on Friday.

That’s a solid start for this. Seeing it in a few hours.

What can I say about Mario? Phenomenal opening - second best opening weekend of all time for an animated film and it opened on a Wednesday.

 

Fantastic stuff.
