The Super Mario Bros. Movie is one away from breaking an all-time animated film record, as recent box-office takings saw the film overtake Frozen.
The Super Mario Bros Movie continues to climb all-time box office rankings, as the film has overtaken Frozen as the second-highest-grossing animated film of all time. Nintendo's animated hit saw Chris Pratt provide the voice of the iconic Mario as he journeyed to the Mushroom Kingdom to defeat Bowser's conquest of the strange new world. Pratt and Black starred alongside Anya Taylor-Joy , Keegan-Michael Key , Charlie Day , and Seth Rogen .

The film's global box office totaled $1.288 billion, allowing it to climb to second place amongst the highest-grossing animated films of all time.
The Super Mario Bros Movie Continues A Golden Age Of Video Game Adaptations Despite a mixed critical response that gave the film a "Rotten" aggregated score on Rotten Tomatoes, The Super Mario Bros Movie received a different reaction from audiences who embraced the movie's nostalgia and entertaining adventure. With word of mouth and praise from the general public, The Super Mario Bros. Movie is 2023's highest-grossing movie in both domestic and international markets.
In 2023, two video game adaptations took the world by storm, as The Super Mario Bros Movie dominated theaters while HBO's The Last of Us kept audiences gripped week-by-week. Alongside Paramount's Sonic the Hedgehog movie franchise and Netflix's Castlevania and Arcane animated series, they continue an ongoing trend of video game adaptations that have succeeded despite previous video game adaptations failing to strike a note with audiences.
Nintendo's animated film is now a box office giant, overtaking Disney's highly influential Frozen. This is a major feat since the 2013 animated movie became a pop culture phenomenon due to its tender story and widely-share soundtrack, which helped its initial run in becoming one of the highest-grossing animated films. The Nintendo film now has to dethrone one more animated movie to claim the title of the highest-grossing animated movie, although its possibility seems dubious.
