narniadis Posted April 17, 2023 Share Posted April 17, 2023 It will be ironic and oh so sweet in a sadistic frustrating way if @MovieMan89 misses the 90m mark by like fractions.... Mario decisively held way better than I anticipated on Tuesday and I gladly take the wrong on that (not like I expected that stupid 58m - still cant fathom what caused that stupidity.) Being wrong on an already great 75m expectation is amazing and one of the great things about box office surprises. Would love to see it top the 600m mark as well, now to hold my breath (I'll take the under if I need to.) 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mojoguy Posted April 17, 2023 Share Posted April 17, 2023 (edited) We all know the main reason Mario is doing so well. Old movie was so BAD, people had to watch the new Mario to wash the bad taste out of their mouths. New Mario is a masterpiece in comparison.

I can’t believe there was one critic who actually said they would rather watch this atrocity again instead. The new Mario movie is no Best Picture but unlike this garbage from 1993 I can at least be proud to say Mario has a movie now.

keysersoze123 Posted April 17, 2023 Share Posted April 17, 2023 I think its going even higher than earlier prediction. Sunday's are slightly harder as I feel ratios will be higher. But the hold is crazy strong. I am thinking 28.5+ now. 5 18 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It sucks being the middle released movie - best to be at the front or the back, unless you're already the king... It also sucks if 2 blockbusters give GA $5 PLF tickets, so the GA gets their fill of decent blockbusters in one month (since they don't go to movies every week)...and you didn't give the GA that option...
