Super Mario passes $1 billion worldwide

0 11

The unstoppable cash machine continues to dominate box office returns at home and abroad. In its fourth weekend, The new movie Super Mario Bros grossed $40 million—a drop of just 30%—to raise its domestic total to $490 million. Its weekend total also marks the fourth-best weekend for an animated film of all time, besting previous holder The Incredibles 2’s $28.2M, per head- day.

Mario jumped past the $1 billion mark worldwide thanks to a $68.3M overseas weekend. It opened big in Japan, earning $14.3M – the biggest opening in the country for Enlightenment/Universal. Is any guess too high how Mario will fly in the coming weeks? Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 could steal some of its thunder this weekend, but there’s a strange lack of family films on the horizon. So, who knows?

Evil Dead Rise fell 65% short of expectations but has still earned $44.4M after two weeks. New release, Are You There God? It’s Me, Margaret collected $6.8M from 3,343 locations, while action villain Sisu and Big George Foreman received $3.25M and $3M, respectively.

Surprisingly, the 40th Anniversary re-release of Return of the Jedi totaled a whopping $4.7M at atom 475 theaters – an amazing average of $10,300 per screen.
