‘Super Mario Bros Is HighestGrossing Video Game Film Of All Time

At one time the biggest animated arc in history with a worldwide gross of $377 million, The Super Mario Bros. The film crossed the $500 million mark to become the biggest video game film of all time.

Super Mario Bros. , from directors Aaron Horvath and Michael Jelenich and screenwriter Matthew Vogel, is expected to collect another $60-70 million domestically this weekend on top of more than $50 million internationally. This would increase the current gross from $508 million to $620 million.

At least The Super Mario Bros Movie will surpass $610 million and could reach $630 million. And with new markets this month including the Philippines, Malaysia, South Korea and Japan, Mario Bros. well maintained international numbers and even grew during the month.

Perhaps somewhat surprisingly , Super Mario Bros. he liked it, but it didn't impress most other critics and didn't do well at the box office. With a budget of $474 million and no plans to add more, Quantum Mania is the highest-grossing film in the Ant-Man franchise, despite having the biggest budget and cinematic input for the next big villain to threaten the MCU.

Likewise, Warner Bros. Discovery/DC Studios saw even more disappointing results with Shazam! The superhero sequel "Wrath of the Gods" , which, unfortunately, fell to $130 million after almost a month of worldwide distribution, is coming to an end. I explain why I think Quantum Mania and Wrath of the Gods failed to reach a wide audience, which you can read about here .

I want to take a moment to point out that Avatar: The Way of Water returned to the national top 10 on Thursday, despite being released about four months ago and already available for purchase at home. .

Being the biggest animated release, the biggest video game adaptation, and the biggest release of the year is no small feat for a movie that was released just 10 days ago.

It's hard to predict how much the second weekend gross will be, but so far Super Mario Bros. it seems to have enough popularity and momentum to take it to at least $850+/- million.

I think Super Mario Bros. Almost three weeks are open for ticket sales ahead of Marvel's next attempt, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, in theaters. video games movies.

Will Mario be able to collect enough coins to break the magic billion dollar mark? Time will tell, but even the aforementioned $850 million mark would be a smash hit, and Mario Bros. a cake .

In fact, there's a good chance that most of the movies mentioned above won't make $1 billion, and Fast X looks to be about that. Others on the list have great pictures, notably The Little Mermaid and The Flash , but they could also cost $800-$900 million.

In this case , the movie Super Mario Bros. could hold the title of one of the top-grossing films of 2023 (perhaps the top two or three in that scenario) in the middle of the summer movie season, which would be quite an accomplishment.
