Film, which opened in American theaters on Wednesday, April 5, has seen sensational early success, with opening numbers surpassing these of the earlier document holder, Walt Disney’s 2019 sequel Frozen 2. The movie, which sees Chris Pratt take up the function of the enduring Nintendo mascot, is being touted by analysts to turn into the highest-grossing film of 2023, a feat that the animated film seems set to realize with ease, regardless of receiving mediocre critiques from many shops.
