King Mickey in Kingdom Hearts is the perfect representation of him. Maybe the Super Mario Bros credits stinger teasing the Super Smash Initiative will get Disney to make their own video game crossover franchise first.

I guess CGI Donald and Goofy are safer places to start

New Mario trailer came out introducing Princess Peach and DK and one other surprise at the end...

Every piece of footage I see of this makes me smile. Marketing is incredible so far. This is going to be so big and it's my favourite to win the year 2023. $400M+, $1B+ worldwide and likely much, much more.

They are set up great for sequels if this hits, there is a lot of iconic stuff they didn't have to use. Like if they put Yoshi in the second movie's trailer people would lose their shit. Wario gives you a non Bowser villain, Goombas, Boos, flying Mario or fireball Mario etc.

I’ve never been so turned off by a trailer. It’s a tough call, but they are certainly to make it more the Peanuts, then a 400+ film. I think Lego movie is the goal. It’s like how everyone loves micke but it doesn’t mean success when he’s so readily available

I was thinking around 300 million after the first trailer. Now I'd be surprised if it fell under 400 million. The rainbow road shot was so money.

This is going to be bad lol it looks like a ripoff of The Lego Movie but I bet it will do well. If Illumination can get Sing to 270m dom, they should have no problem getting Mario to that level or higher

This has Lego Movie novelty so it will definitely break out. At the moment thinking $275-$325m.

Feel the floor on this is $250M+ unless it's really bad.

If The Simpsons Movie had come out sooner (by Season 4-6) not 2007 (Season 17/18), pretty sure it could have doubled it's admissions. The 2007 version still adjusts today to $249,415,345 so just imagine how much higher than could have been in the 90s.

The Flintstones movie came out in 1994 and made $130,531,208. The last original episode came out in 1966 so 28 years later. That adjusts in 2022 to $292,602,612 domestic.

The fact that Mario has stayed relevant throughout the 80s, 90s, 00s, 10s and 20s and is playing into the family crowds is giving me the feel this will be a zeitgeist type movie. Every generation post 1955 will have nostalgia attached to it which plays in its favor.

The movie looks to be very fan servicey but I don’t care. Take my money now!

Less sold on the second trailer, but I’m sure people will eat this up and will win 2023

It does have a good shot at winning the year. Will be interesting to watch it’s performance.

I thought Detective Pikachu would do $300m+ so im now generally more cautious. That said - this has more appeal and getting to $300m is likely. Just how much bigger?

I think Pikachu had its gross limited by coming out the week after Endgame; the bizarre talking Pikachu/detective angle they went with; and attractiveness and charisma vacuum, would-be A-lister (now relegated to increasingly irrelevant supporting characters), industry plant'd they-shipped-it-but-it-got-shipped-back Justice Smith as the lead.

If they had made a live action Pokemon starring Ash, Misti and Brook and it had come out in early April 2019 instead, it would've done waaaay better.

I think you are right. It had far too many things going against it that it’s eventual gross was perhaps fitting. A missed opportunity.

Mario has locked down IMAX and PLF screens for 4 weeks until GOTG3! :whaa:

Everyone knows how big this is going to be. Looking like it could do some massive box office with that type of hold!

Presales started and its looking meh so far. it does not look like a blockbuster so far. As a kids movie we have to wait until release week to hone in on its OW but Sonic 2 should be a good target. I dont see it winning the year or anything crazy at this point.

Post Re: Super Mario Bros. predictions
I'm not seeing a record breaking OW here or anything. Think it's going to be a longer run type play throughout much of the early summer and its more of an opening week vs OW film too. Wed opening day, Friday holiday and with many having Monday as a holiday as part of Easter for a 6 day opening tally. There isn't a central day to rush and see it. I definitely think its going to play well though longterm.
