Illumination and Universal Pictures' Super Mario Bros. The World Box Office's first movie opening since opening last Wednesday, earning it the largest animated movie opening of all time ahead of Frozen 2 ($358 million) in 2019. Aaron Horvath and Michael Jelenic's $100M-budget CG-animated adventure flick, based on the Nintendo video game franchise, smashed the record for biggest video game adaptation global opening after Warcraft ($210M) in 2016

On Monday night, Lionsgate's much-anticipated John Wick: Chapter 4 premiered in London, alongside various media screenings, with critics chiming in with early reactions on social media. Although complete reviews are still under embargo until a later date, Rotten Tomatoes' early reactions are largely positive. Many commentators were uncertain about the sequel's record-breaking runtime of nearly three hours, but the film nonetheless won over numerous commentators.

Many film studios used Super Bowl Sunday to advertise their forthcoming films, but Lionsgate decided to dedicate a week to John Wick: Chapter 4 starting on Monday. Lionsgate revealed a new video for the highly awaited sequel just days after the Super Bowl ended, getting fans excited for 'Wick Week,' where they teased, 'new exclusives' will be revealed 'every day for five days.' On Monday, Collider revealed that John Wick: Chapter 4 will be the longest film in franchise history, running in at 2 hours and 49 minutes.
