    It’s always weird to watch film journalists try to make movie openings interesting.

    Out of the gate, Illumination/Universal’s The Super Mario Galaxy Movie already is breaking records with a $34M Wednesday

    This is seriously so silly.

    it’s also the best opening Wednesday in April, beating 2023’s The Super Mario Bros Movie, which brought in $31.7M

    Oh ok so a whole three years ago; the same series. What a record! Pop the champagne

    The movie will join ShrekToy Story and Minions as the only animated franchises to have two titles open to more than $100M for three days at the domestic box office

    Whoa, the most successful animated movies are the ones where people have to pay for their kids?! No way…
