@getorga @telmarine Some info on this: Mario actually outperformed Frozen II when looking at the total in yen. However, it didn't make as much from Japan in USD because yen devalued from 2019 to 2023.

Today (Sunday) is a monumental day.

The film grossed $40M domestically over the weekend, for a domestic total of $490M. This brings the worldwide total past $1B, for a total of $1.022B.

In Japan, the film grossed $14.3M in its opening weekend. This is the second biggest 3-day opening in Japan of all time, behind Frozen II ($17.8M)

The Super Mario Bros. Movie is expected to pass $1B worldwide at the end of Sunday. Its expected total is $1.021B.

The film will enter the Top 50 highest-grossing films of all time, at #48. It will be just outside the Top 10 highest-grossing animated films of all time.

DAY 20 UPDATE (April 24)

The film grossed $3.5M domestically, for a domestic total of $439.5M. The worldwide total gross is now at $888M. The film opens in South Korea on April 26, which should boost the daily total.

On the highest-grossing animated movies ranking, the film has entered the Top 20 and is quickly approaching Minions: The Rise of Gru.

A strong opening in Japan on Friday could push the film into the Billion Dollar Club.

DAY 18 AND 19 UPDATE (April 22 and April 23)

The film grossed $59.9M domestically over the weekend, for a domestic total of 436M. The worldwide total gross now is at $878M. It has broken the record for biggest 3rd weekend for an animated film.

The film is expected to pass $800M by Sunday, at $830M+. All eyes will be on Japan on April 28, as the film's release there and the popularity of Mario in Japan is expected to give the film a large boost.

The film is expected to pass $1B either next week or the week after.

DAY 17 UPDATE (April 21)

The film grossed $14.1M domestically on Friday. This brings the domestic total to $390M and the worldwide total to $748M. It is just outside the Top 20 highest-grossing animated movies of all time.

[Mario Movie Box Office Updates @MarioBoxOffice]

The upcoming weekend will give a boost to the daily box office. The percentage drop from last weekend will tell us how strong the movie will be going into its third week.

DAY 7 AND 8 UPDATE (April 11 and April 12)

Sorry for being a day late. Over the past couple of days, The Super Mario Bros. Movie hit $445M worldwide. The movie has just passed Warcraft to become the highest-grossing video game movie. It has also passed $250M domestically.

[Mario Movie Box Office Updates @MarioBoxOffice]

The movie will be facing stronger rivals as it climbs its way to $1B. It is currently slightly outside the Top 60 highest-grossing animated films of all time.

[Mario Movie Box Office Updates @MarioBoxOffice]

EDIT: Worldwide total is at $420M. Will pass Warcraft tomorrow.

[Mario Movie Box Office Updates @MarioBoxOffice]

DAY 6 UPDATE (April 10)

The movie grossed about $20.1M domestically. The worldwide total has just passed $400M. It has become the highest-grossing movie of 2023 domestically with a total of $224M, passing Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania ($212M).

[Mario Movie Box Office Updates @MarioBoxOffice]

It's becoming difficult to find the worldwide total/overseas numbers. However, I think it's safe to assume that the film has passed Uncharted and Sonic The Hedgehog 2 (2022), as overseas would only need to gross around $8M on Monday. It is just shy of the Top 3.

[Mario Movie Box Office Updates @MarioBoxOffice]

The film could pass Uncharted and Sonic The Hedgehog 2 (2022) tomorrow, and is expected to pass Warcraft on its 7th or 8th day, depending on how much the movie drops.

The movie is likely to become the first $1B hit in 2023, unless a disaster occurs in the following weeks.

[Mario Movie Box Office Updates @MarioBoxOffice]

DAY 4 AND 5 UPDATE (April 8-9)

The Super Mario Bros. Movie massively overperformed over the weekend, with a weekend domestic gross of $94.6M and an overseas gross of $74.7. The total 5-day opening gross is $377M+. These numbers could be slightly off as Sunday isn't over yet.

[Mario Movie Box Office Updates @MarioBoxOffice]

The film is just outside the Top 75 highest-grossing animated movies of all time, above Into the Spider-Verse. On the highest-grossing video game movie charts, the film is just shy of the Top 5. It has passed both Sonic the Hedgehog (2020) and The Angry Birds Movie (2016).
