Listen to this article

After the huge success of ‘Minions: The Rise of Gru,’ Illumination and Universal Pictures are fully ready to release their highly anticipated animated comedy-drama ‘The Super Mario Bros Movie’ this Friday. The makers have high expectations from it, considering the success of their last films. Not only is it expected to do well, but the buzz amongst the audience regarding the film is also clearly indicating that the film is all set to capture the box office with a grand opening. In short, it is another huge success for the makers.

The Super Mario Bros Movie Box Office Prediction

Based on a popular gaming character of a well-established production, ‘The Super Mario Bros Movie’ is sure to generate a huge buzz and have an exceptional opening. Given its strong position, industry experts are predicting an opening of around $85-95 million from ‘The Super Mario Bros Movie’ over 4000+ theaters in North America— it could be a solid and expected-well opening for a well-anticipated film. However, if the target is set at $100 million, it won’t be easy to achieve, as there is already a line-up of great films at the box office, including ‘DnD Movie’, ‘John Wick 4’, ‘Scream VI’, and ‘Creed III’. Additionally, ‘Air’ is also releasing this Friday.

As a PG-13 animated film, expectations are high for ‘The Super Mario BrosMovie’ in the long run as well, although word of mouth will also be crucial. The film is currently expected to gross $350 million domestically and $850 million globally at the box office, with the overseas market being particularly strong compared to the domestic market. A projection of $850 million is excellent for a medium-budgeted film, with an estimated production budget of $100+ million before marketing— making it already a box-office success. These projections clearly indicate that Universal is gearing up for another huge success.

‘The Super Mario Bros Movie’ features a well-voiced cast, including Chris Pratt, Anya Taylor-Joy, Charlie Day, Jack Black, and Keegan-Michael Key. It is directed by Aaron Horvath and Michael Jelenic, with the screenplay written by Matthew Fogel. The film is produced under the production banners of Universal Pictures, Nintendo, and Illumination, and is set to be distributed by Universal Pictures^[1].
