It is expected that the North American box office of "Super Mario: The Movie" will exceed 90 million US dollars in its opening weekend

"Super Mario: The Movie" is set to hit theaters in April, and Deadline reports that the animated film could take in between $85 million and $90 million in the U.S. during its first Easter weekend, when it opens Wednesday through Sunday.

Deadline noted that its projected numbers are relatively "conservative," so the actual box office may be higher.

The site also said it's not impossible for Super Mario: The Movie to earn more than $100 million in its first opening in the U.S. Early tracking data suggests the movie will do well with boys and girls under 12, families and gamers under 25.

As of today, the best-performing movie opening over Easter weekend in the U.S. was 2016's Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, which grossed over $166 million in its first three days. In comparison, Super Mario: The Movie's opening weekend grossed over five days.

The 1993 Super Mario Bros. movie starring Bob Hosins and John Leguizamo has grossed just $21 million over its lifetime, a figure the new animated film is expected to surpass in a day.

Super Mario: The Movie has also been confirmed to be introduced to China, but the release date has not yet been determined. The movie will be released in North America on April 7.
