Super Mario is not the only one 2023 Hollywood movie. John Wick: Chapter 4,CREED III AND Scream VI both work great. And this weekend, Evil Dead Rise got off to a promising start. Instead, February’s Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania Didn’t even clear the $500 million dollars, a rare mistake for Marvel.
