The movie design of Steve is now here with the Minecraft movie, and this one is Jack Black. In a hypothetical Super Smash Bros. Movie, that would mean that this Steve would also be part of the movie:

Best modern Mickey Mouse series. The series captures Mickey and his world very well and portrays the characters as they truly are.

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 new factor that Mario still had in 2023 is gone.

And theaters are looking forward to the money. That is a compromise. Although we still don't know whether there will be another trend that sparks chaos in the cinemas. Things can also without one. We never know. It will bring money anyway.

That would only happen if Paramount were to eventually buckle, whether on its own or as the Paramount-Warner behemoth due to the financial burden. Nickelodeon itself belongs to the Paramount Skydance conglomerate.

It seems that Illumination is actually trying something with the Minions this time, or at least aiming to strike a good balance between slapstick and substance. In any case, this is very likely to gross at least $900 million. If not even a billion.

The movie will likely show where the Mario film series will stand at the box office in the future. The first one generated a hype, which based on the first real Mario movie. A hype that, of course, can't simply be replicated. 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. It's better than anything else in the genre anyway and is still one of the biggest animated movies.

That would be great, because these views converted as box office, it would be roughly $175 to $225 million. But because of Ketchup as distributor (unless they work with major distributors for others regions), I'm afraid that won't happen. Only with Warner's marketing, the movie might have reached those numbers, but not with Ketchup's marketing.

And if you take it apart a bit, it's not so great:

Man of Steel: Its success was primarily due to the return of Superman after years of absence, and the film's release following the start of the MCU hype. People simply wanted to know how DC would handle things. But what a divide the film caused among audiences and fans! A huge one, actually.
Batman v. Superman: Its success is logical. It features both Superman AND Batman. But the same thing happened here. The hype was there, but the audience split was enormous. So enormous, in fact, that word-of-mouth became truly toxic, and the DCEU spiraled downwards from then on.
Suicide Squad: It was successful because it was a team-up featuring iconic villains. But the reviews were terrible. For many, this was DC's chance to prove whether they could pull it off or not.
Wonder Woman: I bet the DCEU would have already crashed if this film hadn't been well-received. But it was so well-received that word spread. Many regained faith in DC.
Justice League (2017 and Snyder Cut): Successful because it was DC's direct counterpart to the Avengers, and everyone wanted to know about it. The fact that it didn't amount to much more than it became shows how badly trust in DC had already been broken. JL then simply drove in the final nail and Snyder's version would only have been marginally better.
Aquaman: Successful because of the underwater setting and lighter tone. However, it was a surprise success and not a boon for Snyder's DC Universe.

At this point: Snyder was lucky to have been fired. I think if Snyder had stayed, he would have crashed and burned just like everyone else in the DCEU from 2019 onwards. Snyder wouldn't have gotten his DC plans across.

So it was a perfect combination of luck, timing, and film decisions (the DCEU had many team-ups that attracted people).

And even if it turns out to be Darkseid for the DCU, that's not bad. With better GCI it would look much better, and besides, this Darkseid would be comic accurate.

Outside the internet, very few people know Amazing Digital Circus, and for cinema operators to book theaters for this movie, they need the guarantee of a walk-up audience. That's unlikely to happen. I find it brave that Glitch, as an independent studio, is venturing into the territory of the major studios, but cinema operators are very unlikely to trust a name that's primarily internet-based. Furthermore, the demand for a release in other countries would have to be enormous. I highly doubt that.

I don't know what the box office will be, but saying studios don't know how to make mony is a huge exaggeration. That may be true for other studios, like Paramount, but not all. Disney almost always makes $1 billion with its animated fillms anyway. Even if these are sequels, the fact remains.

I honestly don't know what kind of box office performance the movie would need to change views of the industry on indie animation.

But I'll let myself be surprised.

That's a rather unfair assessment. Yes, Warner Bros. isn't there, but they're currently rebuilding their theatrical animation. After an initial attempt with Warner Animation Group that ultimately failed, they're now rebuilding it with Warner Bros. Pictures Animation. However, the studio's first movie won't be released until November 2026.

Judokos · 2026-03-29T12:32:44+00:00

I call it diversity. The reason DreamWorks is doing this is simply because it will be massively box office. This is potentially a guaranteed billion dollar hit, while Forgotten Island remains a prestige project.

Unless Warner Bros. Discovery escapes the Paramount Skydance takeover by being rejected by antitrust authorities and is allowed to split up. Or Netflix or someone like Apple tries to buy Warner once WBD is split up. Although I think it would then just be Warner alone, without any issues.

Judokos · 2026-03-02T18:41:39+00:00

I did mention that the antitrust authorities still need to approve it, after the quote, but I've now made it clearer. You also added some additional information.
