Defying expectations, the “Super Mario Bros. Movie” has become the first film of 2023 to cross the $1 billion mark at the global box office, four weeks after its release.

It is only the fifth film to reach this significant milestone since the pandemic, joining the likes of “Top Gun: Maverick,” “Avatar: The Way of Water,” “Spider-Man: No Way Home,” and “Jurassic World Dominion.”

Released during the long Easter holiday on April 5th, the movie quickly surpassed Marvel’s highly anticipated “Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania.”

By the end of its opening weekend, the film had become the top-grossing film of 2023, both globally and domestically.

Featuring an all-star cast of voice actors, including Pratt as Mario and Jack Black as the love-struck, tortured villain Bowser, the film has resonated with audiences, earning a 96% rating on Rotten Tomatoes.

One viewer wrote, “I took my four-year-old son to watch this movie as he’s super into Mario and he LOVED it. I loved the humor in the movie, the colors and animation. It is a good storyline and just a great family-friendly movie. I have no complaints.”

Another audience member shared, “Perfect for my 11-year-old. She enjoyed it and it didn’t have the adult themes or conversation that I have to explain later when she asks me.”

However, critics have been less enthusiastic, with the movie receiving a 59% score on the review site.

A Chicago Reader critic wrote, “Among the many errors of The Super Mario Bros. Movie, screenwriter Matthew Fogel plops him and his brother Luigi into a milquetoast Brooklyn family that doubts them and disrespects their small-business dreams.”

Despite mixed reviews, the “Super Mario Bros. Movie” has undoubtedly made a significant impact on the global box office, becoming the first film of 2023 to surpass the $1 billion milestone and setting a new precedent for video game adaptations.
