Super Mario Bros. Movie Animated Movie Didn't Have to Work Too Hard to Make $1 Billion Worldwide
The Nintendo video game adaptation became the 10th animated film to join the billion-dollar club, and the first in 2023 to do so. It also became Universal's most profitable animated film at the North American box office, surpassing Minions: The Rise of Gru ($369.7 million), and the studio's third-highest-grossing film, behind blockbusters Jurassic World and ET The Extraterrestrial .
From an animated film originally intended for children, Super Mario Bros. Movie has now become a "national" film, seemingly overcoming all age limits to achieve its current success, according to The Hollywood Reporter . The film features the voice acting of actors: Chris Pratt (as Mario), Anya Taylor-Joy (as Princess Peach), Charlie Day (as Luigi)... The film tells the story of the adventure of saving the mushroom land of two brothers Mario and Luigi.
In the coming time, the race at the box office for Super Mario Bros. Movie will be even more fierce when many other blockbusters will be released, such as Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 of Disney/Marvel.
Previously, the highest-grossing film of 2023 belonged to the superhero film Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania ($474 million worldwide). However, in its second week in theaters, the film Super Mario Bros. Movie immediately dethroned Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania and headed straight to the billion-dollar milestone.
