The movie “Super Mario” broke the record! Here is the staggering amount it has collected in five days of release
The new Super Mario Bros. movie has broken box office records, marking the most successful global opening of all time for an animated film.
The family film – the second Hollywood version of the hit Nintendo game – took in $377 million worldwide in its first five days of release.
This surpassed the previous record of $358 million held by Frozen 2.
“The numbers are sensational,” noted analyst David A Gross, who said it “would easily be the No. 1 movie of 2023.”
In the movie “Super Mario Bros”, the Italian plumber with a mustache is the voice of Chris Pratt, while Jack Black plays the role of Bowser.
Although there was a lot of criticism from experts and “The Guardian”, which it described as boring, many fans seem to disagree, with the 56% score of critics on Rotten Tomatoes eclipsed by the 96% score of the audience. Even Elon Musk wrote on Twitter that “critics are so disconnected from reality!”
“The crowds didn’t seem to care about so many comments,” wrote Pamela McClintock of the Hollywood Reporter.
The film broke other records, including the best opening ever for a movie based on a video game and the best opening of 2023 so far, she said.
Comscore analyst Paul Dergarabedian told the paper: “This is one of the biggest box office performances in recent memory and is absolutely shattering all pre-release predictions.”
