Almost a month has passed since its premiere, but there is not a day that goes by without talking about Super Mario Bros: The Movie. Although many anticipated a great success for the animation of Nintendo and Illumination, the truth is that the tape has exceeded the expectations of practically everyone in the industry. Surprisingly, Mexico is not the exception, because against all odds, Super Mario Bros It is already in the Top 3 box office history.
During their last weekend in Aztec territory, Mario, Luigi, Peach and company raised $128.8 million pesos (mdp). Said number represents a drop of just 12% compared to the previous weekend. Helped by Children’s Day and the long weekend for Labor Day, the film remained in first place at the box office, and took its cumulative to some beastly $1,391 million pesos. With such numbers, Super Mario Bros: The Movie is already the third highest grossing film in the history of Mexico.
The complete list of highest collections in Mexico is as follows:
- Spider-Man: No Way Home – $1,619 million pesos
- Avengers: Endgame – $1,476 million pesos
- Super Mario Bros: The Movie – $1,391 million pesos
- toy story 4 – $1,375 million pesos
- Avengers: Infinity War – $1,141 million pesos
- Coconut – $1,132 million pesos
- Avatar: The Path of Water – $1,084 million pesos
- The Lion King (2019) – $997 million pesos
- Joker – $857 million pesos
- Jurassic World: Dominion – $853 million pesos
You can now Super Mario Bros: The Movie dethrone the record of Spider-Man: No Way Home? The answer to that question is a bit more complicated. Although it has public support and a large number of screens available, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 it will take away a lot of your features and viewers. It is also worth noting that Marvel’s galactic heroes are not exactly box office hits in Mexico (Volume 2 debuted with just over $150 million pesos) and that, apparently, the closing of their trilogy is not exactly suitable for the whole family.
With that in mind, and taking into account that your closest family competition arrives until May 25 (The little Mermaid), it is not unreasonable to think that Super Mario Bros could break the historical box office record and become the highest-grossing film in the history of Mexico. Will he achieve such a mark?
If for some strange reason you haven’t seen it, or if you want to sing “Peaches” with Bowser again, Super Mario Bros: The Movie It is still in all theaters in Mexico.
Juan Jose Cruz I am one of those who always defended Robert Pattinson as Batman and can see the same movie in the theater up to 7 times. My guilty pleasure? Low budget horror movie.
