60% of the expectations now exceeded. Pretty good shot at it moving up at least one more category.

I was underestimating it until the moment I got to my local cinema. There was a huge mix of adult fans and excited young kinds in the lobby, parents taking pictures of their kids next to the Mario cardboard cut-out etc. and I realized this was gonna be big

The 6 people who voted for the first 2 options were taking crazy pills.

i was confident on it hitting a billy what do i get? and right on cue, certain sites are coping and seething over this.

Absolutely deserved. At this point, I think it can even reach $1.2 billion.

At this rate, it might really reach the Frozen tier. Colour me surprised if it goes all the way, but stranger things have happened.

Had to go back and see how I voted, but I'm happily content to be wrong having voted along the popular opinion of $700m -$1B.

Universal has delayed the home release specifically because of this momentum; I concur that this is going to climb one more tier at least. It won't unseat Lion King remake now, but give it an arbitrary anniversary reason for a "Limited Theatrical Re-Release" to cross that $1.6B+ mark, and I think it will as long as nothing else comes along for the throne in that time.

It’ll reach it pretty easily. Still a lot of money left to make in Japan and the US, not even counting other territories. My guess is it will beat Frozen 1 (1.28B) but probably stop around the 1.3B mark.

Yes, I also think it can reach and maybe even slightly surpass Frozen, while Frozen 2 is unapproachable. However, the success of Super Mario is stratospheric.

It feels weird to see "Box Office Sweep" memes for a movie that actualy did sweep for once.
