The Super Mario Bros. Movie<\/strong> is poised to be the highest-grossing video game movie ever, overtaking Detective Pikachu<\/strong> and the Warcraft<\/strong> movie after only being in cinemas for just over a week.<\/p>\n

The latest figures from Box Office Mojo<\/a> show that the movie has already made $437,946,600 worldwide, which a domestic gross of $250,958,695 and an international gross of $186,987,905 (via Collider<\/a>).<\/p>\n

That means it’s easily on course to overtake 2016’s Warcraft, which is currently sitting on a worldwide gross of $439,048,914<\/a>. 2019’s Detective Pikachu made $433,005,346<\/a>, although Box Office Mojo also reports that the Pok\u00e9mon movie made a potential additional $16,532,334<\/a> in 2023 in the UK, which would bring it up to $449,762,638.<\/p>\n

Regardless, it’s hard to see the Mario Movie not making an additional $20mil over the weekend, so whichever film is up top now, we reckon the Mario Movie will be stomping them into the ground over the next few days. It’s already broken the record for the highest-grossing opening weekend for an animated movie<\/a>. So, what’s next, $1 billion?<\/p>\n
