Thirty years after “Super Mario Bros.” essentially began the notion of a video-game-based movie with a whimper, “The Super Mario Bros.
Movie” has given the genre its first uncontested mega-smash. The $100 million-budgeted Illumination/Universal toon has now passed $500 million in global grosses, becoming the biggest-earning video game-based movie ever in raw domestic and worldwide earnings.That includes $260.3 million in North America and $248.4 million overseas for a $508 million running total, with just $13.3 million of that coming from China.
The domestic figure is not just well above the $191 million gross of “Sonic the Hedgehog 2” from last year, it’s well above the inflation-adjusted $212 million total of Angelina Jolie’s “Tomb Raider,” which earned $131 million in 2001.
In terms of overseas earnings, it still places behind – at least for the next few days – “Uncharted” ($253 million out of $402 million worldwide), “Resident Evil: The Final Chapter” ($285 million/$312 million), “Pokemon: Detective Pikachu” ($306 million/$450 million), “Rampage” ($327 million/$428 million) and prior global champion “Warcraft” ($391 million/$439 million).
