We have laughed, been amused and hallucinated with Super Mario Bros. The Movie. The animated adaptation of the franchise Nintendo It is a work that exudes affection everywhere and the success at the box office endorses the commitment of Illumination. So much so that we are already talking about the film based on a video game with the highest grossing in history.
As pointed out from Deadline, the Universal production has achieved a collection that is currently at 678 million dollars worldwide. Of that amount, 330 million come from the international box office. With these figures, it has surpassed other productions such as Warcraft (439 million), Pokémon Detective Pikachu (433 million) and Sonic 2 (405 million) as the biggest video game hits on the big screen.
In fact, this second weekend since the premiere on April 4 of Super Mario Bros. The Movie has become the best ever for an animated film with 87 million dollars, surpassing Frozen II (85.9 million). However, a differential factor must be taken into account to think that the final box office will be even higher.
The film has not yet been released in Japan, Nintendo’s homeland and one of the juiciest markets yet to be exploited. It will be on April 28 when the film is screened in theaters in the Japanese country, so the increase in collection aims to be considerable. Estimates even indicate that it is possible that the symbolic figure of 1,000 million dollars will be reached, since we have not even been in production for two weeks at the cinema.
