- Mario’s massive Friday payday
- Why theaters are finally happy
- The bright visual style we love
We just saw the new box office numbers. Mario is winning. Big time. Nintendo and Illumination are basically printing money at this point.
The movie earned $18.7 million this Friday alone. It is on track for a huge $71 million weekend. That brings the total past $310 million. Boom.
We are obsessed with the vibe of this film. It looks like a neon candy store. The colors are so saturated and poppy. It has that perfect 90s game aesthetic we adore.
While Mario collects coins, other stars are busy too. We heard Ride Along 3 is finally in the works. If you want more drama, see why Meagan Good chose Jonathan Majors lately. Also, the studio Neon just picked up a new thriller called ‘Hope’.
Our Take
We love seeing this. It is a win for theaters. The world needs more bright, fun movies. It feels like a hug for your eyes. Honestly? Better than watching Twitch all day.
