Hello! Welcome to The Box Office Report for the weekend of April 21-23, 2023.

1. The Super Mario Bros. Movie

Weekend gross: $58.2M
Total domestic gross: $434.3M
Last weekend: 1st
Percent drop: -37

Through three weekends in theaters, The Super Mario Bros. Movie is playing the box office on cheat mode. In last Monday’s The Box Office Report, I guessed that Mario would fall by roughly 60 percent this weekend.

Turns out I should’ve been more optimistic.

The Super Mario Bros. Movie dropped just 37 percent his weekend, adding another $58.2 million to its domestic haul. Even bigger? Mario’s worldwide gross of $876.4 million. Yes, The Super Mario Bros. Movie could break the $1 billion worldwide mark between now and next weekend.
