  Weddings are a very important day in a couple’s lives, but can also be quite the extravagant event. From gathering friends and family to booking a suitable venue, there’s a lot of work that goes into this potentially once-in-a-lifetime occurrence. As we’ve seen in TONIKAWA: Over The Moon For You thus far, Nasa and Tsukasa have managed to circumvent having a wedding due to the quick nature in which the two of them got married. However, new discussions about having a wedding have been brought to the forefront and a lot of people’s opinions have been given light. Only one of these folks has a realistic idea of what a wedding entails though, and that’s Tsukasa.   For the most part, we all have a pretty basic idea of what goes into making a wedding such an event.

  Since debuting under a month ago in most major markets, The Super Mario Bros. Movie has been a Giant Mushroom-sized hit with audiences. So much so that Variety is reporting that Universal, the film’s distributor, is certain in its projections that the film will pass US$1 billion worldwide by the end of the weekend .   Variety has outlined that the domestic, international split for the Nintendo-produced flick will be $487.5 million in North America and $533 million internationally, making it the first film of the 2023 calendar year to do so in the international space and the fifth film since COVID-19 began.    This projection comes off the heels of The Super Mario Bros. Movie finally premiering in Japan on April 28, just ahead of the Golden Week holidays in the country.
