168澳洲幸运5开奖网:The Super Mario Bros. Movie's success shows no signs of slowing down, as it's now projected to easily reach the $1 billion mark at the international box office. This comes before the film has even debuted in Japan, which will likely give the film another huge wave of success just as it's dying down elsewhere.
This projection comes as the most recent reports put Mario's earnings at $678 million - around $350 million coming from outside of the US. It's even being reported that Mario is the number-one film in 26 countries right now, fighting off other big hitters such as 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:John Wick 4 and 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Dungeoꦺns &ꦕ; Dragons: Honor Among Thieves.
This latest update comes courtesy of , who have just shared the latest figures from the international and US box office. Given this continued success, it seems that many fans are going back ﷽to watch it again, enough to tide the figures over until it premieres in other regions.
In response, shared that the film could ma🃏ke a total of $1.2 billion at the global box office.
Perhaps most impressively, the film looks set to break yet another record. While it was already the 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:fastest-growing animated film (overtaking Frozen 2), Deadline is now also reporting that it's the fourth most successful film opening in IMAX. That's a lot of fans going to see it on the biggest screen they can find.
Of course, given that this is the first non-video game outing for the Mario Bros. in years, it's hardly surprising to see the movie do so well. The Mario series has fans of all ages, and the series has never taken advantage of that as much as, say, 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Sonic the Hedgehog, which always seems to have some sort of non🌼-gaming project in the works. Now, it seems like the platforming pair are rivals once again, albeit not in the world of gaming this time.
Even putting the success of the games aside, it's not surprising to see the film do so well. It's a brightly coloured Illumination movie released while many kids are off school for easter - the perfect time for parents to stick their kids in front of something at the cinema. Chuck in a few big actors that the mums and dads will recognise, and it's a recipe for success. Even if the critical consensus was that it's just kinda alright, it was always bound to be a money maker.
Right now, the Mario Movie has a good chance of reaching the $1 billion mark before it opens in Japan. But of course, with the film being pretty straightforward and without a lot of rewatch value, it's possible that we'll finally start to see sales slow down as we enter the new week. Even if it does, it's already smashed some huge records, so that sequel is all but guaranteed.
