The Super Mario Bros. Movie

 

Although that Wednesday opening deflated its three-day weekend total, it nonetheless marks the:

  • #30 “traditional” three-day opening weekend of all time
  • #17 five-day total of all time
  • #1 video game adaptation opening of all time, more than doubling the prior record holder, 2022’s Sonic the Hedgehog 2 ($72.1M)

On a daily basis, Mario has tentatively earned the:

  • #11 Wednesday of all time ($31.7M)
  • #9 Thursday of all time ($26.5M)
  • #40 Friday of all time ($55.0M estimate)
  • #16 Saturday of all time ($56.8M estimate)
  • #41 Sunday of all time ($34.6M estimate)

Mario is already the #1 video game adaptation domestic total of all time, beating Sonic the Hedgehog 2 ($190.8M).

It’s also already overtaken the final domestic totals of:

  • 2012’s Wreck-It Ralph ($189.4M)
  • 2018’s Ralph Breaks the Internet ($201.0M)
  • 2019’s Pokemon: Detective Pikachu ($144.1M)

It’s also only -20% behind the final total for 2014’s The LEGO Movie ($257.7M)

Demographics

Mario earned an “A” CinemaScore, from an audience that was:

  • 59% male and 41% female
  • Only 16% ages 12 and under, unusually low for a film like this, indicating that the film’s nostalgia pitch worked.
  • Only 30% white, versus 40% Hispanic, 14% black, and 10% Asian.

Overseas + global

Mario opened with $172.8M overseas, for a $377.5M global start.

  • Those are both the biggest such numbers of 2023 so far, beating Ant-Man and the Quantumania on both counts.
  • It’s the #2 overseas animated opening of all time, a bit behind 2019’s Frozen II ($228.2M).
  • However, it’s the #1 animated opening of all time globally, beating prior record holder Frozen II ($358.0M).
  • Top overseas market totals include Mexico ($24.7M), U.K. ($19.6M), Germany ($14.0M), China ($12.0M), and France ($10.4M).

I can't recall when was the last time Disney was this non-existence in the top 10 list. 

Disney was absent of the top 10 during all April 2022 and the weekend of October 28th

If Mario has legs like most of these movies it will hit 500m.

I think so. I see it finishing at least 175M.

Is D&D at least gonna make 100DOM still

It just faced its worst competition in the form of Mario and won't have anything else vying for its demos until Guardians in almost a month (everything over the next three weekends is either rated R and/or too niche in appeal), so I think it'll hit it eventually, even if Paramount will probably have to do some double feature business with Transformers late in its run or something.
