The Super Mario Bros. Movie had the biggest opening ever for an animated film, and the video game adaptation has now become the second highest-grossing animated movie of all time...
After opening on April 28 in Japan, “The Super Mario Bros. Movie” has hit the JPY10 billion ($71 million) milestone in just 31 days, the quickest ever by a non-Japanese animation in the Japanese market.
Mario, Luigi and Princess Peach are poised to clobber the box office competition as “The Super Mario Bros. Movie” readies to power past the $100 million mark in its opening weekend.
