CTOnews.com, May 23 (Xinhua)-- Super Mario Brothers Movie, co-produced by Nintendo and Lighting Entertainment, has grossed more than $1.248 billion at the global box office, surpassing Superman Story 2 to become the third largest animated film in history, The Hollywood Reporter reported.

The Super Mario Brothers Movie is based on the adventures of Nintendo's classic game character Mario and his brother Luigi. The film was released around the world in January 2023 and was widely praised by audiences and critics as one of the most successful game adaptation films.

CTOnews.com noted that according to statistics website The Numbers, only Disney's Frozen 2 ($1.284 billion) and Frozen ($1.452 billion) currently have a higher global box office than Super Mario Brothers, which means the film still has a chance to become the highest-grossing animated film.

"in the long run, we think this will be a strong point of contact for people who have never really played games to become fans of Malio and Nintendo," he said. and reinvigorate the interest of those who used to play [the Nintendo platform] but are now suspended. "

"Super Mario Brothers Big Movie" is the first collaboration between Nintendo and Lighting Entertainment, and it is also another animated blockbuster after the "Little Yellow Man" series. It is reported that the two companies also plan to release more animated films based on Nintendo game characters, including "Legend of Zelda" and "Star Kabi".
