Read More: 14 Of The Best And Most Obscure Secrets We Spotted In The Super Mario Bros. Movie

Variety reports it was an especially big release for Illumination—it’s highest ever beating out 2015’s Minions—and also beat out recent Universal Studios releases like Jurassic World Dominion and Fast and Furious 9. The Mario movie’s weekend box office was still well short of Avengers: Endgame, which currently holds the record at $357,115,007 domestically, but long story short: it’s going to post hundreds of millions in profit for everyone involved, including Nintendo.

That’s not necessarily surprising for a family-friendly blockbuster featuring the most popular video game mascot ever, though it’s still impressive given the array of negative reviews the movie released to. It’s still at just 56 percent on Rotten Tomatoes on the critics’ side, which even puts it behind Sonic. At the same time, the audience score remains overwhelmingly approving at 96 percent.

Plenty of groundwork has already been laid for sequels, which seem like a lock. Time will tell if the movie’s financial success will make Nintendo even more comfortable embracing film and TV adaptations for its other properties. The Legend of Zelda was, at one time, set for a Netflix spin-off until plans were later canceled. With Cyberpunk: Edgerunners and The Last Of Us being breakout hits, maybe Nintendo will take a second look. God knows studios and streaming platforms are desperate for new content.
