In May 2021, Furukawa said that Nintendo was interested in producing more animated films based on its intellectual properties if the Mario Bros. film is successful. [145] In a Variety cover story before the film's release, producer Meledandri was asked about potential sequels, or projects adapted from other Nintendo properties, and answered, "Our focus right now is entirely on bringing the film out to the audience, and at this time, we're not prepared to talk about what's coming in the future". [146] On April 21, 2023, following the film's box office success, Nintendo stated that there would be more films based on their properties, though they did not directly confirm a sequel to The Super Mario Bros. Movie. [147] In June 2023, Pratt stated that while news on the sequel will come "soon", development on the project has been put on hold due to the 2023 Writers Guild of America strike, saying that it will only resume once "the writers feel comfortable moving forward".

I watched Avatar 2 at the cinema in 3D and it was technically stunning, but it was slow and bloated, although enough to certainly carry the movie for a first watch. I couldn't even watch it all the way through a second time at home though. Yes, it's technically stunning, and it's got some "important" message, but a movie still has to make me actually want to watch it beyond that first viewing to mean much to me in the grand scheme of things, and Avatar 2 failed. In that regard The Super Mario Bros. Movie utterly blows it away imo. I've watched The Super Mario Bros. Movie four times already and enjoyed it just as much each time, never felt bored once, and I'll be going again in about a week when it releases in Japan. And, given the relative goal of both of these movies and the audiences they are aimed at, I'd 100% say the Mario movie did a better job.

The Super Mario Bros. Movie held its world premiere at Regal LA Live in Los Angeles, California on April 1, 2023, with the cast and crew in attendance. [83] [84] It was released theatrically in the United States on April 5, 2023, and later in Japan on April 28, in both regular formats and in IMAX 2D and 3D. [85] [86] The film was previously scheduled to be released on December 21, 2022 [87] and April 7, 2023 (the former of which was taken over by DreamWorks Animation's Puss in Boots: The Last Wish in response to the film's delay to the later date). [88] On February 28, 2023, it was announced that the film would be released two days earlier, on its current date, to more than 60 markets while maintaining the April 28 date for Japan and stating that additional markets are to follow during April and May. [89] It released in 65+ countries on dates ranging from April 5 to 7. It was released on April 26 in South Korea and on May 26 in Poland. [4] Home mediaMilheim, Russ (April 7, 2023).

I can’t speak to Pratt and co.’s performances and I didn’t see the English language version, but the dub I watched was well done and by the sound of it the original cast did a pretty passable job too. PS. To anyone bringing it up, most people don't give a crap about adjusted for inflation as none of the other movies on the same list have been adjusted for inflation either. If you do account for inflation, most of the movies we consider hits today wouldn't even make the top 100. And, regardless, it's a totally different world now in so many ways, from almost everything about the cinema experience to how we consume movies outside of that and the like, so just assuming inflation is the only metric that truly matters is utterly ridiculous and very ignorant. This not adjusted for inflation list is the list everyone is paying attention to, which means that's the one that matters to most people when judging the success of these movies beyond their own personal opinions, and on that list The Super Mario Bros. Movie is utterly smashing it. But, hey! No matter! I still enjoy the movie, having watched it twice, and I'm definitely getting the eventual Blu-Ray. 7/10!

There was a World War a while ago. There are a lot more North Americans now than in the past as well. We could factor in what % of the population saw a film and the old films would be even bigger hits than the newer ones, for example.
