In what is a box office no-brainer, Illumination/Nintendo/Universal’s The Super Mario Galaxy Movie is headed for a $160M+ 5-day domestic opening over the Easter stretch. And that’s being conservative. No April Fool’s joke: The toon opens on April 1.
The heat on tracking is better than the 2023 movie, which did a 5-day of $204.6M and 3-day of $146.3M in what was the secondbest domestic opening ever for a movie over Easter after 2016’s Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice ($166M). Among all April U.S./Canada openings, Super Mario Bros was the fifth best in a month that will forever be dominated by 2019’s Avengers: Endgame ($357.1M). It won’t be alarming if Super Mario Galaxy debuts to a more mushroomed number than its first chapter, which received an A CinemaScore.
