The Success of “The Super Mario Bros. Movie” Exceeds $1 Billion in Box Office Revenue

After a steady decline in box office revenue over the past few weeks and with the ongoing interest from audiences, “The Super Mario Bros. Movie” is not likely to sustain its momentum here and will continue to face challenges, especially against the blockbuster films being released this summer, most notably “Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3.”
The movie’s success has been acknowledged by Shigeru Miyamoto, the “father” of Mario, who confirmed that Nintendo is considering adapting other Nintendo video game franchises into films in the future. This is surely exciting news for fans eager to see adaptations of “The Legend of Zelda,” “Kirby,” or “Metroid Prime” on the big screen after many years.
“The Super Mario Bros. Movie” is directed by Aaron Horvath and Michael Jelenic, featuring a star-studded voice cast including Chris Pratt as Mario, Anya Taylor-Joy as Princess Peach, Jack Black as Bowser, Charlie Day as Luigi, Seth Rogen as Donkey Kong, and Keegan-Michael Key as Toad.
