The Super Mario Bros. Movie has been breaking records left and right since it is release and it was just a matter of time before it hit the $1 billion mark. That moment is finally here, and the animated blockbuster became the first film of 2023 to reach this coveted number.
The Super Mario Bros. Movie continued its box office domination during its fourth week in the cinemas, grossing $40 million to cross the coveted $1 billion mark. It’s the first film of 2023 to reach this number, and it remains the highest-grossing film of the year overall.
Seeing The Super Mario Bros. Movie earn $1 billion isn’t a huge shocker, given the film’s strong opening. It earned a worldwide total of $377.2 million during its opening weekend, scoring the biggest opening for an animated movie and video game movie in history.
This smash hit went on to break several more major records in the following weeks, becoming the highest-grossing video game movie of all time and the highest-grossing animated film of the pandemic era. It’s also the eleventh-highest-grossing animated film in history, and chances are it will climb higher in the upcoming weeks.
The Super Mario Bros. Movie was released on April 5, and its star-studded voice cast includes Chris Pratt, Anya Taylor-Joy, Charlie Day, Jack Black, Keegan-Michael Key, Seth Rogen, and Fred Armisen.
