The Super Mario Bros. Movie was one of the biggest films of 2023, but it isn't the first project based on Nintendo's Mario that has broken box office records, proving why the video game franchise is the best at producing movie adaptations. The animated adventure comedy film, directed by Aaron Horvath and Michael Jelenic and written by Matthew Fogel, premiered in theaters in April 2023 and was an immediate hit (although it received mixed reviews from critics). It ultimately grossed $1.362 billion at the worldwide box office and surpassed numerous established records, much to the surprise of many.
