The chattiest plumber in the video game world seems to have no ceiling when it comes to his brand new movie adaptation, and it’s no mean feat, because it’s safe to say that Super Mario Bros. Movie became the second highest-grossing animated film of all time after beating the Disney classic Frozen and amass a worldwide collection of over $1.295 million.

This new milestone comes just one month after Universal, Illumination and Nintendo’s film was crowned the highest-grossing video game adaptation in history, far, far behind, and nearly two months after its theatrical release. a career extensive and with signs of surprise as it turns out. In addition, on two fronts where there was competition: video game adaptations and animated films.

However, this does not seem likely Super Mario Bros. Movie managed to climb to the top of the list considering that the film has been in theaters for two months and that a jump of more than $150 million remains to be coveredbut we said the same thing last month about the position he held then, and look how things are now.

First on the list, the highest-grossing animated film in history, if you’re wondering, is Frozen II, also from Disney and with a worldwide collection of more than $1,450 million, seems unbeatable. Although depending on which list you look at it is one or the other as there are those who consider The Lion Kinghe remake in 2019, as an animated film, and in that case, no competition is worth it.

For more data, remake of The Lion King managed to accumulate a fortune of more than 1.660 million dollars in its worldwide box office. Interestingly, it is the ninth-highest-grossing film of all time, behind Marvel Cinematic Universe hits from Star Wars, Jurassic World, titanic either Avatar, Besides. This means it’s a production closer to live action than classic animation, even if it’s pure CGI.

In the full list Super Mario Bros. Movie would occupy the nineteenth position, which is consistent quite an achievement for a movie based on a video game whose screenplay includes a three-year-old without getting lost, but still dazzled most audiences around the world, not critics. But who cares what the critics say in these cases, in which the public and especially the box offices speak for themselves.
