The Nintendo videogame adaptation dominated the month of April in theaters, smashing records along the way.
“The Super Mario Bros. Movie” led ticket sales for the fourth straight weekend in U.S. and Canadian theaters with $40 million as the global haul for the Universal Pictures release surpassed $1 billion, according to studio estimates Sunday.
Second place went to “Evil Dead Rise.” The horror sequel from Warner Bros. held well in its second week, especially for a horror film, dipping 50% with $12.2 million. Lionsgate also released the Finnish action movie “Sisu” in 1,006 locations. The film, about a prospector whose gold is stolen by Nazis, grossed an estimated $3.3 million. That was a solid result for the rare international film to receive a nationwide opening. Reviews have been good for writer-director Jalmari Helander's film.
