Movie’s more faithful approach, its iconic celebrity cast, or its timing, the Illumination/Nintendo collaboration is the massive hit that Mario and company deserve.The PG film, which cost Universal, Illumination and Nintendo roughly $100 million to bring to the big screen, thrived as the de facto choice among family crowds, who have been starved of compelling theatrical offerings since last December’s release, “Puss in Boots: The Last Wish.”īut the kid-friendly film also managed to expand its reach beyond parents with young ones. Movie’s animated approach also allows for a more faithful adaptation of the video games compared to the live-action movie’s real-world limits. 30 years later, Nintendo and Super Mario are far more established brands, allowing the 2023 movie to have a bigger crossover appeal. Movie has more than exceeded the 1993 live-action movie’s performance, but there are various factors that could contribute to their differing levels of success. It’s undeniable that The Super Mario Bros. Movie finally provides a movie adaptation befitting Nintendo’s biggest franchise.
That, combined with its poor reception from critics and audiences alike, the 1993 live-action Super Mario movie is a certified failure. is just as big of a flop as its animated counterpart is a success, failing to even make back its $48 million budget with a dismal box office performance of $38.9 million.
Movie a huge success for Nintendo and Illumination, but its box office performance redeems the disappointment of 1993’s live-action Super Mario Bros.
