This year\u2019s anticipation of the highly-awaited game to film \u201cThe Super Mario Bros. Movie\u201d has reached fever-pitch as it smashed box-office expectations with a whopping $378 million in its opening week globally.<\/p>\n
Internationally, as The Super Mario Bros. Movie broke records, it is now The Biggest International Opening Weekend of 2023, The Second-biggest animated opening weekend of all time, The Biggest Illumination opening of all time, The Biggest Video Game Adaptation opening of all time, the Biggest Japanese IP opening of all-time and The No. 4 Universal Opening of all-time.<\/p>\n
For the first time, iconic global entertainment brands Illumination and Nintendo join forces to create The Super Mario Bros. Movie, a new, big-screen adventure starring pop culture\u2019s most prominent plumber of the past four decades. Based on the world of Nintendo\u2019s Super Mario games, the film invites audiences into a vibrant, thrilling new universe unlike any created before in an action-packed cinematic comedy event.<\/p>\n
Mario is voiced by Chris Pratt, who has been a fan of The Super Mario Bros. games since he was a kid. Mario is a guy from Brooklyn with big dreams. He\u2019s the classic \u2018big brother\u2019 brimming with charm and confidence. We catch up with Mario right as his newly launched plumbing business has gone o\ufb00 the rails. Just when things couldn\u2019t get worse, he is unwillingly transported to the Mushroom Kingdom and separated from Luigi. Here, and with the help of Princess Peach, it\u2019s up to Mario to save his brother and discover his courage, resolve and perseverance.<\/p>\n
Princess Peach, voiced by Anya Taylor-Joy, is the capable leader of the Mushroom Kingdom, sworn protector of the Toads and a master of the magical Power-Ups. Together, Peach and Mario embark on an adventure to stop Bowser and rescue Luigi. When Bowser threatens her kingdom, Peach will stop at nothing to defend it and its citizens.<\/p>\n
Luigi, voiced by Charlie Day, is Mario\u2019s devoted (and anxious!) little brother and business partner. Where Mario is calm and confident, Luigi is\u2026not. After the brothers fall into the Warp Zone, Luigi is captured by Bowser. When the world is in danger, Luigi must face his fears head-on and \ufb01nd the courage to \ufb01nally step out of his older brother\u2019s shadow.<\/p>\n
