Inspired by Nintendo’s legendary game series Super Mario, Super Mario Bros. It was released on April 5 and was the last of the game adaptations that have been rapidly increasing recently. Written and directed by Matthew Fogel, the film received mixed reviews from viewers and critics.
However, the production achieved great success at the box office despite all the bad reviews. So much so that in its first weekend, it grossed $368 million worldwide, surpassing Frozen II, and became the best opening animated film in history. The giant production has now achieved another success.
Super Mario Bros. surpasses $500 million, making it the most successful game adaptation at the box office of all time
The new Super Mario movie has grossed 260.3 million in the US and 248 million worldwide as of yesterday. This allowed it to reach a total revenue of 508 million dollars. This amount has passed the Warcraft and Pokemon: Detective Pikachu movies as the most successful video game adaptation of all time.
The $508 million success also made Super Mario Bros. the most successful film of 2023, surpassing Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania. The fact that two weeks have passed since the film’s release and that it has started to come out in some countries has shown that dda will continue its success.
In fact, the Super Mario movie was in development for a long time. However, the failure of the 1993 Super Mario movie, and even being one of the worst movies in history, caused concerns for the new movie and eventually it was postponed.
The fact that Illumination, the successful production company behind movies like Despicable Me, was the producer of the project, took some of these worries away and finally the movie came out. As a result, it achieved success at the box office. Of course, it should be added that the number of those who did not like the movie is quite a lot. Still, we can say that it is much better than the 1993 movie.
The voice cast of the film, which tells the adventure of the Super Mario brothers in Mushroom Kingdom, includes famous names such as Chris Pratt, Anna Taylor-Joy, Charlie Day and Jack Black.
