The Super Mario Galaxy Movie is coming to theaters in April, and it’s expected to have a massive opening weekend. Ahead of the movie’s release this weekend, Deadline reported that the movie is expected to make about $350 million globally over its first weekend, including $175 million over the first five days in the US and Canada at 4,000 theaters and $175 million in 79 markets internationally. The Super Mario Galaxy Movie doesn’t come to Nintendo’s home country of Japan until April 24, timed with the Golden Week holidays in the country.
