It's OK and Mario dominate pre-sales for Saturday.
IMAX Screenings distribution
Project Hail Mary remains unfazed by Mario as it will keep a massive dominance over IMAX screenings through the Holiday weekend.

###Super Mario Galaxy Movie
Mario Galaxy opens with a rather modest ¥10.8M/$1.59M opening day. Below Hoppers which opened with ¥13.9M/$2.06M.
Also below the first movie's ¥32.4M but that opened on a Holiday.
Weekend projections for Mario are now at $7-8M for the 3 day and $9-10M for the 4 day. 3 day going under Hoppers with the 4 day even with a Holiday boost maybe strugling to beat out Hoppers's 3 day weekend.
Total projections at $21M-$24M. Below the first movies $25M finish. Lets see what Saturday brings.
Screen Distribution Split: Regular: $1.40M , IMAX: $0.11M , Rest: $0.06M
WoM figures:
Reception for what its worth appears to be decent and in line with the first movie. Although no Douban score yet.

Did Ready or Not 2 choose a bad date, or would it have disappointed anywhere?
Curious what others think. I think opening against PHM was a huge and unnecessary self-own. I’m bummed because I loved RoN1 and felt like it had built up a pretty good fan base w streaming. Trailers were good for pt2. Seemed like the right angle. But it has really flopped hard. $25m. RoN1 made it to $57. RoN2 is not getting there. PHM sucked all the air out of the room, but do you think it would’ve had a similarly hard time with a better date? I have to think it would’ve done better in August or September.
