The box office report for the past weekend is in and there is a lot to discuss.
In its third weekend The Super Mario Brothers Movie broke another record for animated movies as it has has the best 3rd weekend for an animated movie at the domestic box office, bringing in a big $58.2 million. It has also become the 2nd fasted animated film to cross £400 million at the domestic box office. It’s current domestic total sits at $434.3 million.
Mario is also still doing mega business overseas as well , as it has also managed to cross $400 million overseas for a global total of a massive $871.8 million. It is expected to cross 1 billion within the next week. In addition to this it finally opens in Japan next weekend where the film could make a lot of money. With the massive success of this film a sequel must defiantly be being discussed along with other Nintendo projects.
Warner Brothers Discovery also finally had a win this weekend. Evil Dead Rise was originally set to debut on HBO Max but was moved to theatres in their new release strategy. This ended up being a great idea as it beat industry projections and opened with a strong $23.6 million domestically. It also grossed a strong $16.8 million overseas, for a global total of $40.3 million. As this only cost $19 million to produce the breads at Warner Bros must be very happy and could signal the return of this iconic franchise.
That’s it for this weeks box Office report. How high up the charts do you think Mario will go?
