My gosh.
Out of nowhere, in the middle of a week, a record has been broken.
Universal’s “Super Mario Galaxy Movie” made a stunning $34.5 million in one day.
The animated movie, based on the video game, made more money yesterday, than almost all of this year’s Oscar movies.
The movie is voiced by Glenn Powell. Chris Pratt, Anya Taylor Joy, Jack Black, Brie Larson and a host of stars. This is despite being panned — 43% from critics on Rotten Tomatoes.
It shouldn’t come as a surprise. Three years ago, “Super Mario Bros. Movie” opened with $31.7 million.
Clearly, Super Mario is a bigger star than any human.
The 2023 movie finished with $1.3 billion worldwide, so Universal chief Donna Langley obviously knows what she’s doing — as usual!
What’s the movie about? About 90 minutes, that’s what.
Actually, it looks like fun for kids.
Watch for more records to be broken!
