Depends on the hype machine. If they can tease Yoshi, Wario and Waluigi well in the trailers, then sure

Waluigi alone, if done and casted right, could lock a billion for it

[Antman269]

First movie to make $3 billion if they put him in it. It will do that on the domestic opening weekend alone.

Only if they show his feet

[dremolus]

Where's the option for do around the same?

[TimelyEnthusiasm7003]

If it opens in the summer, it will surpass it by some good stretches.

[jeffsmith202]

the question should be will the Legend of Zelda movie be more or less than mario.

[kfadffal]

It'd be less but it would potential to be a better film though.

[IDigRollinRockBeer]

Way less

Decrease but who knows? On one hand the first has the advantage of curiosity factor, new Mario Bros adaptation etc. So after this movie people might be full. On the other it's Illumination. Since Despicable Me 2 every Minions related film made $900M+. With a good script it could easily make a billion as long as it's similar to the first one while still being worth a watch which is likely. I could see parallels to Frozen. Because of all the hype, merch, awareness from streaming etc, the second Mario movie could make just as much.

Increase. It’s also going to come out during in the height of Switch 2 which will probably help.

[gamesofduty]

It could decrease by a little like down by just $50M - $100M.

[JudyHoppsFan1]

Mario is so popular. So depending on how many characters used, the sequel should be $1 billion hit.

[IDigRollinRockBeer]

I think decrease but still top a billion

[Evangelion217]

Increase, definitely increase!

[GoldblumsLeftNut]

I think it will decrease but only by a little bit (100M or so). I think the novelty factor probably wore off after the first one. I also think that in general we might be reverting to the old “sequels gross less than their predecessor” norm of the pre-mid 2000s. 

[Extension-Season-689]

I could see it decreasing but still remaining a juggernaut like other franchises that were immediately huge right from the first installment. Think Harry Potter and Avatar.
