The Super Mario Bros. Movie, featuring a stellar cast that includes Chris Pratt, Charlie Day, Anya Taylor-Joy, Jack Black, Keegan-Michael Key, and Seth Rogen, is still playing in over 2,000 theaters nationwide, and actually took sixth place in the box office Top 10 this past weekend.
The ticket sale numbers put up by The Super Mario Bros. Movie are impressive – but one of the bigger surprises from the phenomenal theatrical run has been the lack of news about a sequel.
As such, it’s not wholly surprising that he is now at the center of yet another big screen success story – The Super Mario Bros. Movie – but evidently that doesn’t mean that he is any less impressed by the reaction that the animated video game film has received from audiences.
Based on the way things typically play out, one would have thought that a Super Mario Bros. Movie 2 would have been announced immediately after the animated film had the biggest opening weekend of 2023, but there has been no official word about a follow-up.
