'The Super Mario Bros. Movie' is breaking records in its first week, earning $508 million at the global box office.
The Super Mario Bros. Movie has only been out for a little over a week and the video game adaptation has already broken countless records. This includes beating Frozen 2 for the highest grossing opening weekend for an animated film in history. Now, ahead of the film’s second weekend of release, Super Mario Bros. has crossed the $500 million mark at the box office.
As of now, Mario has made $260.3 million domestically and $248.4 million internationally which combines for a worldwide gross of $508.7 million. This also makes Mario the highest grossing film of 2023 thus far which passes Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania’s $474.2 million worldwide gross. When compared to other recent video game hits Mario also has surpassed films like Uncharted, Detective Pikachu, and Sonic the Hedgehog 2.

There are a lot of reasons to explain Mario’s success, but the film just being a good time at the movies is a great place to start. From beginning to end, this film was a joyous love letter to the Mushroom Kingdom and Nintendo’s rich history. A bare Dry Bones story couldn’t stop these plumbers from delivering a golden Yoshi Egg of delight.
What’s Next for Super Mario? The Super Mario Bros. Movie is well on its way to becoming 2023’s first billion-dollar film, and it's certain to cross $600 million by the end of the weekend. When you consider the film's $100 million budget, Universal and Nintendo must be triple jumping for joy. Mario, Luigi, and the Mushroom Kingdom finally have a film worthy of their historic namesake.
