This movie killed it in its second weekend. It's not likely to have any competition until May. I expect the sequel will be fast-tracked, and I guarantee that talk of spin-offs is happening.
Took my kids on a Friday afternoon, theater was packed. This is going to be huge. Expect sequels, spin-offs, etc., all fast-tracked.
I thought it was fun. My kids (one in particular) have been playing the Mario games for years and years, so the movie was a big event for them, as I suspect it is...
I'm committed to going on Friday. The Mario World is the biggest thing in the world for one of my kids, and he's been looking forward to this the way I looked forward to The Empire Strikes Back when I was his age.
