Super Mario Bros Movie Breaks Box Office Records Worldwide

The new Super Mario Bros Movie has broken box office records, scoring the most successful global opening of all time for an animated film, earning €321 million worldwide in its first five days on release. This overtook the previous record of €307 million held by Frozen 2.

“The numbers are sensational,” noted analyst David A Gross, who said it would “easily be the #1 flick of 2023”. In the movie, Chris Pratt voices the moustachioed Italian plumber, while Jack Black plays the fire-breathing villain Bowser.

Despite receiving mixed reviews from critics, the movie has been well received by fans, with a 96% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes. It also broke other records, including the best-ever opening for a movie based on a video game and the top opening of 2023 so far. Comscore analyst Paul Dergarabedian said, “This is one of the biggest box office over-performances in recent memory and is absolutely shattering all pre-release projections.”
