Mario 'acts in a movie', bringing in huge revenue

According to The Verge , The Super Mario Bros. Movie, the film version based on Nintendo's famous Mario character, has shown strong appeal since its release in early April. Now, after many weeks at the top of the box office, the film, under the great cooperation of Universal, Illumination and Nintendo, has officially earned 1 billion USD.

The Super Mario Bros. Movie grossed $1 billion

Accordingly, less than a month since The Super Mario Bros. Movie by directors Aaron Horvath and Michael Jelenic premiered, the project has brought in $490 million in North America and $532 million worldwide in just a few short weeks, becoming the fifth film during the pandemic to surpass the $1 billion mark.

In addition, revenue is expected to continue to increase as the film has just been released in the Korean and Japanese markets in the past few days.

The box office tally made The Super Mario Bros. Movie the most financially successful video game film ever, a far cry from the disastrous box office failure of Nintendo's first Super Mario Bros. film from 1993.

Essentially, the film's big box office numbers could also open up more Mario-themed movie projects in the coming years, and show that Nintendo's grand plan to build a new entertainment empire for the company itself is showing signs of success.
