The Super Mario Galaxy Movie is coming to theaters in April, and it’s expected to have a massive opening weekend. Early tracking data suggests the movie could earn $160 million in the US alone for its first weekend, though this includes a five-day period covering the Easter weekend.
The Super Mario Galaxy Movie releases on April 1, so the five-day tracking period covers Wednesday through Sunday of that week. The numbers were supplied by Deadline.
2023’s The Super Mario Bros. Movie, for comparison, made $204.6 million over its first five days and $146.3 million for its Friday-Sunday three-day window. That movie also released over the Easter weekend, and it was the second-best Easter-weekend opening in the US for any movie, only trailing 2016’s Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice ($166 million).
