What to know

  • The Super Mario Bros. Movie smashes box office records… Wahoo! It turns out making a faithful, family friendly Mario movie was just what the doctor (Mario) ordered. Its gold coin haul was a massive $204.6M domestic in its first 5 days and $375.6M worldwide, breaking the record for an animated pic. Elsewhere Mario jumped to 2nd best U.S. debut for an animated film, biggest opening ever for a video game movie, 2023’s biggest opening to date, Illumination’s biggest debut ever, and the biggest domestic Wednesday-Sunday launch. Expect many more Mario movies to come. 🍄
