The latest report for The Super Mario Bros. Movie indicates that it’s now the second highest-grossing animated film of all time in North America. Also, a few other interesting tidbits have come in.
The Super Mario Bros. Movie is only the fourth film to cross the half-billion mark domestically in the pandemic era behind Spider-Man: No Way Home ($814.1 million), Top Gun: Maverick ($718.7 million) and Avatar: The Way of Water ($683.9 million). Additionally, it’s the first Illumination and Universal animation release to cross $500 million domestically, not adjusted for inflation. The Hollywood Reporter further states that the movie is the second highest-grossing animated film of all time domestically. Finally, it’s the third-biggest Universal release of all time behind Jurassic World and E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial.
The Super Mario Bros. Movie hasn’t shown signs of slowing down. Perhaps the biggest milestone for the film happened when it surpassed the $1 billion mark not long after its debut.
What lies ahead in the future? While nothing is certain, Nintendo is very much keen on producing more movies in the future.
Fans can watch The Super Mario Bros. Movie in theaters now.
