The Super Mario Bros. Movie | Universal/Illumination | April 5, 2023 | Chris Pratt is Mario, Charlie Day is Luigi, Anya Taylor-Joy is Peach | Reviews are in. It's-a bad!

[Mojoguy]

Also will Mario be the last animated movie to make a billion for a while?

 

At least until Despicable Me 4 next year. Illumination keeps winning!

I think DM4 finishes in the $900 million range like Minions 2. Maybe a bit lower since that overperformed domestically compared to DM3.

coming to digital in 5 days...

 

I just don't see what's the rush

A movie with an upcoming potential $25M+ weekend getting a digital release already would be wild. Illumination needs to rethink their strategy for their mega blockbusters.

 

People that buy it on May 9th are still going to buy it a month later. Digital needs to be moved to June at least.

 

But there is still a rumor of it being delayed. I guess we will know for sure when May 9 arrives and we get nothing.

Universal as a whole has been putting their movies out on digital much earlier than other studios.

It doesn't seem like the digital release has much of an effect on box office, especially for animated films. Minions 2 and Puss in Boots continued to have excellent holds even after they were available for purchase. It's the free release to a streaming platform that kills the legs.

Better than nothing I guess.

Leaked out early from a European Pay-TV’s PVOD service, so it’s at 25p and playback is sped up.
 

Wait for the real deal on Monday.

They certainly took their sweet time announcing the digital release date.

 

Now the only question left is when the dvd release will be? That will be the boxoffice killer.

[Mojoguy]

As we can see, Mario still has plenty of gas left in the tank. Beauty had 12 weekends in theaters before the dvd release, hopefully Mario gets the same at least.

People won't pay $40 or more for a family of 4 plus even more for concessions to only to see the movie once in theaters, when they can pay $20-$30 for the movie on dvd or 4k and own the movie and watch it at much as they want.

 

Mario should sell really well on video once the theatrical run is over with.

Universal scheduled the Mario home media release for June 13th, but many stores are already broke the street day and are selling it a week early starting today. This has to be one of the biggest clusterfuck releases of all time for a major movie! 🤣
