After smashing box office records for most successful animated mꦑovie in its opening weekend, this news will come as little surprise to anyone who's been to see 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:The Super Mario Bros. Movie over the past few days. It's now been confirmed that the title has managed to earn over $500 million in its first week in cinemas, surpassing both Warcraft and 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Pokemon: Detective Pikachu to become the biggest video game adaptation🗹 ever made.
First revealed by , The Super Mario Bros. Movie is currently sat at $260.3 million in earnings domestically and $248.4 million internationally, which adds up to a grand total of $508.7 million. Before that, it was Warcraft that held the honor with $439 million, closely followed by Detective Pikachu at $433 million. The Super Mario Bros. Movie has already smashed those records, and will probably keep climbing considering it's only been in cinemas for just one week.
Not only has the movie dominated the video game adaptation charts, but the box office for 2023 as a whole. Granted, we've not had that many blockbuster titles release this year so far, but The Super Mario Bros. Movie has still done well to surpass the likes of Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania to become the year's highest-grossing movie so far. It'll probably lose its place once big hitters like The Little Mermaid and Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse hit cinemas, but Nintendo and Illumination can enjoy basking in the success for the time being.
Even if you haven't seen the movie yet, you didn't need to be Sherlock Holmes to see this one coming. Mario is arguably Nintendo's biggest and most beloved property next to Pokemon, and those that went to see it as soon as it hit cinemas loved it 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:despite middling reviews. Warcraft's total earnings of $439 million wasn't exactly a huge sum to surpass either, and with Illumination, Chris Pratt, Jack Black, and Anya Taylor-Joy all involved, it was pretty much a slam dunk from the start.
That's not to diminish the movie's accomplishments though, as it certainly isn't a success for no reason. It's an enjoyable, family-friendly movie with some standout moments, one of them being Bowser's love song to Princess Peach aptly titled 'Peaches'. In fact, we could see that same song featured at the Oscars, as many pointed out that it meets all the r🌠equirements to be nominated for Best Original S🅷ong. It would probably 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:have to be a very slow year and would have a mountain to climb to actually win, but stran𓆏ger things have happened at the Oscars.
