The iconic “wahoo” must be ringing in everyone’s ears at Universal Pictures right about now! The Super Mario Bros Movie is lighting all theatre screens on fire with its phenomenal performance. Chris Pratt plays the unlikely superhero for Princess Peach’s Mushroom Kingdom. Peach herself is our favorite Chess grandmaster from Queen’s Gambit, Anya Taylor Joy.
Thanks to Easter, a long weekend meant more time for everyone to hang out at the movies. The Super Mario Bros Movie just happens to be the perfect film to watch with your family and before you know it, the film already has $377 million in its collection!
The Super Mario Bros Movie Box Office
The film initially opened up for previews on the last Tuesdays and officially dropped in America the very next day. Over the course of five days, it had made about $206 million domestically. The weekend box office was going to be a huge deal for Universal. This is because the film based on the Mario games made about $173 million worldwide by the time Easter was over.
Their success is more than what it may seem. Sonic the Hedgehog 2 has previously held the record of best box office opening for a video game movie with about $71 million. The bros review poured in and boosted the film to hundreds of millions. It left even Ant-Man and The Wasp: Quantumania behind. The Marvel film had accumulated about $249 million globally in its opening weekend.
And that’s not the only record. The film also surpassed Frozen II to become the highest-earning film over the weekend box office. Frozen II held the record at $358 million.
The Super Mario Bros Movie Talented Artists Work Together
Pratt was originally trolled and ridiculed on social media. He doesn’t even have a single Italian hair on his body, and so, the verdict was released. Some said he wouldn’t make a great Mario. Even Anya Taylor Joy was doubted for her role as Princess Peach. But things have come around the rainbow in the cloud. Both of them have played their roles wonderfully. Enough to make the film such a great hit.
One voice that was never doubted though was that of Jack Black. One of the most adored actors in Hollywood, Black is the voice behind the evil Bowser. He played the character with a burning passion, and it clearly shows. The film also plentifully references things like cat Mario and toad Mario making it as wholesome as possible.
The Super Mario Movie release date is April 5. It’s already out in about 70 countries worldwide. If you haven’t watched the film, do yourself the biggest favor and go to the cinema right now!
