It's over 700 million and hasn't even released in Korea and Japan.

I don't know if Japan will pull enough to make it a billion but it's still showing worldwide.

Looks like a billion is basically guaranteed at this point. I'll have to eat Crow on this one.

It'll be weird if it doesn't. It's got legs for days.

For example, it made over 4 million a day on each weekday last week. And over 14 mil a day for Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. Give it two more weeks of decent money and it's a sure thing.

I also didn't think it'd make a billion. I really underestimated Mario lol.

Yeah I'm surprised it's doing this well. I don't think even Nintendo predicted it was going to make gangbusters like this. Sonic nor Detective Pikachu couldn't even hit these numbers.

Has it released in China yet?

Because if not, it would just further show Hollywood doesn't need China anymore.

I knew it would make a billion at least from the very beginning. People will look at the original flop, but guess what, Mario has only gotten bigger since then, and this time, he's done by Illumination. Illumination, even if you hate the movies, knows how to market them and get people to go to the theaters. Minions 2 soundly disproved the claim that Disney fans were thinking that people just didn't want to see animated films in the theaters because of Covid.

Now, I want to think this will do big in Japan considering its Mario, but Japan might not go all-in since it is a western adaptation of their media, and not actually their adaptation. Still, it's going to do well there to an extent, and Japan will probably be the ultimate decider if this movie makes 1.0-1.1 billion vs 1.2b+.

Hollywood never really "needed" China, they just wanted China for even more money. The deals they have to make in order to get distributed in China are usually pretty ridiculous, but it's profitable in the end.

Eh, it still kinda does. The are only a few movies, like Mario, that are the exception to the rule.

It was in China before America. This is pretty normal though for movies where they don't have to argue with the censors.

From what I saw, it has. Hasn't made too much money there. Could be because Mario is a Japanese product, but I don't want to pass myself off as an expert in those relations.

Gotta remember that Mario is much larger than Sonic. Detective Pikachu, it's hard to say. Maybe it's just one of those things people would rather see an animated adaptation than live action.

And as I said, Illumination is much better at marketing their movies than many other companies.

Yeah you're definitely right about Illumination being better at marketing their films. I can't imagine if this movie went to a more competent studio like Dreamworks or Pixar that it would perform even as well as it's doing now. Almost all of Illumination Studios movie had a bigger marketing budget than the actual production budget, which is why I consider them more of a marketing studio than an animation one.

I highly doubt the average Chinese citizens care that much. The hate crimes against Japanese car owners was overexposed to fuel the endless propaganda machine. If you release the movie in their language that's all most of them care about.

Definitely.

This year's highest grossing movies will likely end up being Mario and Flash.

Flash has been getting some of the highest praise I've ever seen an superhero movie get from test audiences.

There's a reason WB fought so hard to protect Ezra Miller.

Flash got that Keaton nostalgia, much like No Way Home did, which massively over-performed, and everybody that's seen it has been saying it's amazing, including Tom Cruise. Same with Gunn, though I guess he's a bit biased.

Though I did forget about Fast X, which will probably beat Mario and Flash, but I don't think anything else outside GotG 3 will touch those 3.

Idk, I personally think Mario is going to reign on top unless a "Frozen" (aka, movie out of nowhere) happens. I think Fast X will do respectable numbers, but I don't think it's going to beat out Fast 8 ultimately, which I think is around where the Mario movie will be at.

Flash, I don't see making a billion, personally, even with Keaton.
