Sticky reason: Helping Jim and his crew to get this up in the top 10 in 2023:

It's at #46 this minute, and the list is currently lead by SMB (1 billion), Guardians (850m), FastX (700m)
I like your thinking. Everything helps. Cheers.
To be fair, the SMB movie doing so well is a good sign. It didn't cave to the woke garbage most everything else has. It shows that people just want good stories, not propaganda.
That said, Sound of Freedom deserves to blow everything else away.
I agree with you, i'm not saying they're bad, just giving the #'s for what we'd need to get to. to approach the top 3. 700M is definitely possible (IMHO)
Definitely agree. Priorities, right?
I thought super mario bros was great. I kinda hoped they did it a bit different. Like mario goes and saves the princess instead of luigi. But since the movie is doing so well, i accept this version.
I had to look up what SMB was; wow, hard to believe a movie based on a VIDEO GAME would do that well! Sort of speaks to our current state; too many people want nothing to do with reality.
Dude, movies based on video games have been popular for decades. It's not new.
The FIRST Super Mario Brothers movie was made in 1993.
Then there was Mortal Kombat, Double Dragon, Street Fighter, Doom, Lara Croft's Tomb Raider, Resident Evil, Assassin's Creed, Pokemon, Sonic, and many more I can't remember at the moment.
And all movies, other than documentaries, are a form of escapism.
It's hard for me to believe that the idea of movies based on video games is that shocking to someone.
Not shocked that there are movies based on video games, just that the number one movie is based on a video game :) (I haven't seen a single one of the video-game movies you listed, but then, I have only seen about 10 movies in a movie theater in the past 20 years)
Mario has been in video games every year for, what, 40 years. That is a wide demographic. Kids are seeing it to see their video game heros on screen and the older people are seeing it for nostalgia. They knew this nostalgia thing was a bankroll when the muscle cars of the 60's and 70's started selling for more than Ferrari and Lamborghini.
We all have nostalgia for the past. We remember the good times, and usually forget the bad :) I have a hard time knowing if I like something because of nostalgia, or because it is just good.
It's just good made by people who care about us. Tucker said something on Russle Brand that really made me think. He got on the subject of the shift in architecture over the years. His opinion was that all the old, beautiful, buildings, made from local stone and materials were so beautiful because those who designed and built them cared for their community. As opposed to the ugly totalitarian structures that are built today, he feels those are designed by people that hate us. If you haven't seen that interview, it is a different side of Tucker. https://rumble.com/v2yn47a-live-tucker-carlson-world-first-interview-since-leaving-fox-163-stay-free-w.html
