The Super Mario Bros movie has done wonders at the box office. After opening on an outstanding note, the film’s momentum didn’t shake. So much so that now the film has entered into the $1 billion club. A feat achieved by only 4 films post the pandemic, Spider-Man: No Way Home, Top Gun: Maverick, Avatar: The Way of Water and now The Super Mario Bros. It is good to see that such a light hearted, family entertainer is ruling the box office. It seems like the audience is finally getting back into the habit of going in theatres to enjoy films. The good old times seem to be back. Super Mario Bros. is only the 52nd film to cross the $1 billion mark in cinema history. Despite mixed reviews from critics, the film opened with $368 million which is the biggest ever for an animated movie, beating Frozen II’s previous mark of $358 million.
Now the most profitable film based on a video game of all time, The Super Mario Bros. had topped the domestic box office consecutively for 4 weeks, that too fending off big competitors like Nicolas Cage’s Renfield, Russell Crowe’s The Pope’s Exorcist and Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves. The film is the highest grossing movie film of 2023. Now after ruling the box office, Mario is ready to make his streaming debut.
