The Super Mario Bros. Movie opened to a record $377 million worldwide, making it the biggest animated film opening of all time. The film, which stars Chris Pratt as Mario and Anya Taylor-Joy as Princess Peach, has been praised by critics and audiences alike.
The film's success is a major coup for Nintendo, which has been struggling to find success in Hollywood. The company's previous attempts to adapt its video games into films have been met with mixed results, with the Super Mario Bros. film from 1993 being widely considered a flop.
The new Super Mario Bros. film is a much more faithful adaptation of the video games, and it seems to have resonated with audiences. The film is set in the Mushroom Kingdom, and it follows Mario and Luigi as they try to rescue Princess Peach from Bowser.
The film has been praised for its humor, its action sequences, and its voice acting. Pratt and Taylor-Joy are both excellent in their roles, and they have great chemistry together. The film also features a supporting cast that includes Charlie Day as Luigi, Jack Black as Bowser, and Seth Rogen as Donkey Kong.
The Super Mario Bros. Movie is a must-see for fans of the video game franchise. It's a fun, exciting, and well-made film that will appeal to audiences of all ages.
