While The Super Mario Bros. Movie has become a huge success for Illumination and Universal, the movie proves that the original 1993 Super Mario Bros. did something right. The 2023 movie has become an outstanding success for the studio, as The Super Mario Bros. Movie made $1.36 billion worldwide (via The Numbers), all but guaranteeing Super Mario Bros. 2. That figure is even more impressive given that the movie had a mixed reception, as it sits at a "rotten" 59% on Rotten Tomatoes. Nevertheless, The Super Mario Bros. Movie is a massive audience pleaser, and has helped fans forget about the obscure 1993 film.
