It’s Mario day and, to mark the occasion, Nintendo has announced we’re getting a new Mario.. movie? Yes, while we half expected Big N to tease a new game, Nintendo and Illumination (who produced the movie) have confirmed that The Super Mario Bros Movie is getting a sequel.As spotted by VGC, Nintendo tweeted a very short video, featuring Nintendo’s Shigeru Miyamoto and Illumination’s Chris Meledandri, praising both the original movie and confirming that a sequel is happening.There’s no news on the cast as yet but you can expect the current cast to return. There’ll be Anna Taylor Joy as Princess Peach, Jack Black as Bowser and Chris Pratt as Chris Pratt as Mario. Directors Aaron Horvath and are Michael Jelenic are also returning. In fact, they’ve been working on the sequel for a while now.Why? Fan appreciation aside, the movie’s sheer probability would have been the deciding factor. Yes, we mocked and will continue to mock Chris Pratt for just playing himself as Mario, but the movie made a lot of money. It was the first video game to gross over $1 billion. It made $1.36b on a budget of $100 million, so Nintendo and Illumination were Wahooing all the way to the bank.The Super Mario Bros Movie sequel isn’t arriving till April 3rd 2026, so there’s a little while to wait, more than enough time for Nintendo and Illumination to crank the merchandise machine into overdrive. In other Mario news, there’s no new game but the trailer concludes by revealing that the remaster of Luigi’s Mansion 2 hits the Switch June 27th, so there’s that to look forward to.

Sign in to your ScreenRant account The Super Mario Bros. Movie has crossed a huge box office milestone this weekend. The film, which is an animated adaptation of the Mario video game franchise, originally opened in theaters on April 5. It has been smashing records all this time, including nabbing the highest-grossing opening weekend for an animated film and becoming the highest-grossing video game adaptation of all time. Per Variety, the Super Mario Bros. Movie box office has just passed the $1 billion mark worldwide. It has only taken 26 days for the film to reach this massive gross, providing a triumphant end cap to its fourth weekend in theaters. It is now officially the first film of 2023 to have passed this milestone, on its way to even greater heights. Does 2023 Have Any Other Billion Dollar Movies in Store? The Super Mario Bros. Movie is only the fifth film of the pandemic era to cross the $1 billion milestone. The previous film to cross this line was the James Cameron megahit Avatar: The Way of Water, which premiered in December 2022. The only other films that have reached those heights are 2022's Top Gun: Maverick and Jurassic World: Dominion as well as 2021's Spider-Man: No Way Home. Because this is such a rare achievement these days, there is some question as to whether another 2023 movie will be able to cross that threshold. However, there are some major releases incoming that have the potential to rocket their way past $1 billion. Several of these are being put out by Disney, including the MCU trilogy-capper Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, the live-action remake of The Little Mermaid, and Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny. There are huge franchise tent poles coming out from every major studio this summer, quite a few of which could also make $1 billion. Universal's Fast X is a front-runner, and Paramount's Transformers: Rise of the Beasts also shows potential for big box office success. It remains to be seen if any of them can make it, but The Super Mario Bros. Movie's. 'The Super Mario Bros. Movie' grossed $26.5 million on Thursday, while Ben Affleck and Matt Damon's 'Air' grossed $2.4 million. 2025 8:22am PT Box Office: ‘Super Mario Bros.

“The Super Mario Bros. Movie” is at the top of the charts with the largest opening weekend of 2023 so far. Wisnefsky discusses the top 5 films in this week’s Box Office Breakdown. Illustration by Zaire Diaz/The Daily CampusSorry “Ant-Man and the Wasp” there’s a new hero in town. With the largest opening weekend of 2023 thus far, “The Super Mario Bros. Movie” shattered expectations, with an incredible $146.3 million opening. This smashed my prediction of $97 million, clearing it by almost $50 million. Not only was the video game adaptation the highest opener of 2023 so far, it was one of the largest worldwide openings for an animated film ever, earning $377 million across its 5-day opening weekend. With a reported $100 million production budget, factoring in an estimated $80 million marketing spend, “The Super Mario Bros. Movie” has a break-even point around $396 million. As of this article’s publication, factoring in “Mario”’s prospective Monday gross, the film has likely already cleared that total. That means every dollar earned from here on out will contribute to its profit. Although it received tepid reviews from critics, it earned an “A” CinemaScore from audiences — a sign that it will have strong legs. I think “The Super Mario Bros. Movie” is all but guaranteed now to earn $1 billion globally, on its way to earn Universal and Illumination over $200 million in profit. In second place is “John Wick: Chapter 4,” earning $14.6 million in its third weekend of release. As we mentioned a few weeks ago, “Chapter 4” needs to earn around $375 million worldwide to break even. Three weeks in, it has earned just south of $269 million. Does “John Wick: Chapter 4” have $105 million left in the tank? It’s tough to tell. It fell 49% this week, which is a little steeper than it would like. “John Wick” likely isn’t losing audiences to “Mario,” as they’re targeting different demographics, but it may have lost screens to the hit film this week. Ultimately, I think “John Wick: Chapter 4” will end just shy of that number, but with strong critical and audience reception, there’s no reason to worry for the fan-favorite action franchise. In third is “Dungeons and Dragons: Honor Among Thieves” which earned $14.5 million in its second weekend. This is one of the sadder aspects of the box office, whenever there’s a hit film, usually there’sComments
