TheSuperMarioBrosMovie is destroying box office records in its opening weekend, scoring the biggest box office debut ever for an animated movie!
It's a-me, history! Mario and Luigi will be saying "Wahoo!" to each other this morning after The Super Mario Bros. Movie opened to an absolutely gargantuan $204.6 million domestic in its first five days of release, thanks to a $146 million opening weekend, firing red shells at all theatrical competition.
COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT The previous holder of the title was Frozen 2 which, like Mario, had the benefit of building on an established intellectual property. However, Mario did not have the benefit of a massively successful predecessor to build on, another mark of credit towards the film. And not content with that, the film also holds the honor of the highest global opening of 2023, easily besting Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania's $225.3 million.
The film also marks the biggest-ever opening weekend for a movie based on a video game, nearly doubling Warcraft's $210 million dollar opening, as well as the highest animated IMAX opening weekend ever with $21.6 million reported in returns.
