@HollywoodHandle Let's see how long this lasts. It's been heavily strong because of IMAX, and Spider-Man is next week. It might now experience a setback. But still, it's amazing. It's even exceeding my expectations right now 😮
‘MOANA’ has opened with $43M domestically — one of the lowest openings for a live-action Disney remake ever.
Budget was $250M.

@Luiz_Fernando_J The movie ist being released staggered. Does that mean the currently somewhat subdued performance compared to usual could increase even further in the end? Even though the movie is doing well within its budget.
@HollywoodHandle Okay, that's very surprising, considering how things are going for the Minions. It seems this will be their first major setback in comparison. Unless the movie recovers, because the Minions are known for their great stamina and streak. Toy Story 5 seems to be too strong.
@NintendoAmerica There it is! But I already suspected that a Direct presentation would be in June at the latest. Not least because other presentations had taken place recently.
@NintendoDE Da ist sie endlich! Aber das habe ich bereits vermutet, dass spätestens im Juni eine Direct kommt. Nicht zuletzt weil kürzlich andere Präsentationen stattgefunden hatten.
@HollywoodHandle That's nice to see. However, the range now seems to be between 900+ million and 1+ billion. Which isn't a bad thing, but it shows where Mario will be positioned in the future once the novelty factor that Mario still had in 2023 is gone.
@Luiz_Fernando_J A nice, objective analysis that primarily considers market movements. Because that's how it is. A relatively low start doesn't automatically mean failure, as some are already starting to claim.
@Luiz_Fernando_J The movie will likely show where the Mario film series will stand at the box office in the future. Whether the movie reach the billion or not, that will probably be the future range for Mario movies: 800 million to 1 billion. Which is, without a doubt, a great performance still.
@ManOfMadness@DiscussingFilm@RawbertBeef The logos were definitely added before that, since Ketchup had acquired the distribution rights. The shade came definitely after canned the movie. Normally, that wouldn't have happened at all.
@DiscussingFilm ACME Corporation is Warner Bros. Discovery, not Warner Bros. itself. There's a reason it's called a subsidiary of ACME Corporation [Warner Bros. Discovery]. The shade is at WBD. But it's still a nice little jab.
@HollywoodHandle So, guys, please don't just write about it online, please actually support this movie. Otherwise, Warner Bros. Discovery was right about the cancellation 😅
@HollywoodHandle The funny thing is that Illumination will be the first animation studio to reach 1 billion dollars this year. That's even before Disney, Pixar, DreamWorks, and Sony Pictures Animation 😂
@theholofiles Understandable, because no other studio has that. But to celebrates this, they could have just listed the movies Disney themselves made. There are still most billion-dollar movies than the others, lol
@HollywoodHandle If that's really true, then the domestic box office will be interesting. Because just because something is hyped on the internet doesn't mean it will also be a success on the big screen.
