The Universal and Illumination adaptation of a video game is playing not only an animated family film but more than a general-audience tentpole.
Another important milestone has been attained for the Illumination and Universal-produced The Super Mario Bros. Movie.
On Sunday, the 26th day since its debut, the movie based on the Nintendo video game will have grossed $1 billion at international box offices. It easily becomes the first movie of 2023 to accomplish the accomplishment, making it only the 10th animated movie to do so.
Super Mario‘s anticipated weekend domestic gross in North America is $37.5 million from 4,204 theaters, bringing the domestic total to $487.5 million through Sunday. It is expected to earn $69 million abroad this weekend, bringing its global total to $1.02 billion and its foreign total to $533 million.
