“The Super Mario Bros. Movie” retained the top spot in North America’s box office one week after its epic debut, as Universal’s popular game-themed animation again trounced all competitors, estimates showed Sunday.
The joint effort of Universal, Nintendo and Illumination studios raked in $87 million in ticket sales in the Friday-through-Sunday period, bringing the movie’s total haul to more than $347 million, according to Exhibitor Relations.
The industry watcher had already predicted “Super Mario” — with its foundation in one of the most popular video games ever — will be the top movie of the year.
