We suspected that the public was going to move en masse to see Super Mario Bros The Movie, but perhaps not in its proportions. With 377 million dollars earned at the worldwide box office in just 5 days of operation, the feature film produced by Nintendo and Illumination Studio Paris is a colossal success. Better, it becomes at the same time the best start in history for an animated film, ahead of Frozen 2 and its 358 million dollars in revenue when it was released. In France, it’s the same effervescence, since 1.35 million tickets were sold in France, there too in just 5 days on the bill. At this rate, and with the Easter holidays in full swing, the film with the voices of Chris Pratt, Jack Black and Anya Taylor-Joy seems well on its way to surpassing the billion dollars at the box office. It is no coincidence that the film was released on a Wednesday in the United States and not a Friday as is usually the case.
Moreover, concerning the North American territory, know that Super Mario Bros The Movie has already made 204.6 million dollars, including 146.4 million just on the days from Friday April 7 to Sunday April 9, 2023. It does not has not managed to exceed the feat of 182 million achieved by The Incredibles 2, but it is already approaching the 212 million receipts obtained by Ant-Man and the Wasp Quantumania in 2 months of operation. This is enough to comfort the producers at Universal and counterbalance the lukewarm reception received by the international press.
