Translation: machine translated
After just one month, "The Super Mario Bros Movie" has generated one billion dollars in sales. This makes the Mario film by far the most successful video game adaptation of all time.
This makes "The Super Mario Bros Movie" the most successful release in the 2023 cinema year to date. It is also already the tenth most successful animated film and by far the most successful video game adaptation of all time. The plumber easily leaves gaming greats such as "Pokémon", "Sonic the Hedgehog" and "Angry Birds" in his wake. The top ten currently looks like this:
At Rotten Tomatoes, the film has a public voting score of 96% with over 10,000 votes. In comparison, the trade press gave Mario's animated debut a very poor score of 59%.
Film producer and Mario creator Shigeru Miyamoto even believes that the poor reviews have contributed to the film's immense success

Audience of millions also on Twitter
The Super Mario Bros Movie is not only a success at the cinema. Last week, the full-length film was uploaded several times on Twitter. This was made possible by the new upload function for Twitter Blue subscribers. This allows video clips of up to one hour to be uploaded in high quality.
