TheSuperMarioBrosMovie keeps leveling up at the global box office, becoming one of the biggest movies of the year.
Universal’s The Super Mario Bros. Movie celebrated two full weeks of release by passing a major milestone at the worldwide box office. On Wednesday, the animated video game adaptation passed the $700 million mark globally, further cementing its position as the biggest film of the year so far. If it continues performing like this, the film is all but guaranteed to pass the coveted $1 billion mark at the global box office.
Super Mario has grossed $366 million domestically, and another $358 million from overseas territories, for a worldwide haul of $724 million. The film opened on a Wednesday and went on to deliver a record-breaking $204 million five-day extended opening. In one fell swoop, it broke the records for the biggest opening of 2023, the biggest opening for a video game movie, and the biggest worldwide opening for an animated film.
COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Super Mario grossed $375 million worldwide by its first Sunday, overtaking Frozen 2’s $358 million global opening record. Domestically, it overtook Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania’s $106 million opening weekend gross as it finished with $146 million over the traditional Friday-Sunday weekend.
Illumination Is a Bonafide Hit-Factory Super Mario’s success also cements Illumination’s position as one of the world’s foremost animation houses. The studio behind hit franchises such as Despicable Me and Sing is certainly no stranger to delivering massive global hits. If Super Mario actually does end up passing $1 billion worldwide, it’ll become the third Illumination movie to do so, after Despicable Me 3 and Minions .
Directed by Aaron Horvath and Michael Jelenic, Super Mario also features the voices of Anya Taylor-Joy, Jack Black, Keegan-Michael Key, Seth Rogen, and Fred Armisen. The film is expected to three-peat at the top of the box office this weekend as well. You can watch our interview with Pratt and Day here, and stay tuned to Collider for more updates.
