The animated sequel to the 2023 original film based on the popular Nintendo game earned a bunch of gold coins — raking in $48.3 million on Friday, according to Box Office Mojo.
The Post predicted the flick — which has Chris Pratt, Anya Taylor-Joy, Charlie Day, Jack Black and Keegan-Michael Key reprising their roles — “will make $1 billion just like its awful predecessor.”

“The Drama” came in third with just over $6.4 million in revenue.
The rom-com-drama, which The Post called “gripping and sometimes stomach-churning,” stars Robert Pattinson and Zendaya as a museum director and bookseller who get engaged and then learn secrets about one another.
Pixar’s “Hoppers” moved down two spots to fourth on its fifth Friday in theaters with a $2.1 million take.
