What happened?
In April 2023, "The Super Mario Bros. Movie" powered up for its big-screen adventure, bringing the iconic video game to animated life. The movie, replete with a voice cast featuring Chris Pratt as Mario and Anya Taylor-Joy as Princess Peach, premiered in Los Angeles on April Fool's Day, no less. It then hit theaters across the United States on April 7th.
Anything else?
Despite receiving mixed reviews, the film collected coins like Mario in a bonus level, grossing a whopping $1.36 billion worldwide. It broke records for the biggest worldwide opening weekend for an animated film and became the highest-grossing film based on a video game. Not too shabby for a plumber's first animated outing.
