The iconic “wahoo” must be ringing in everyone’s ears at Universal Pictures right about now! The Super Mario Bros Movie is lighting all theatre screens on fire with its phenomenal performance. Chris Pratt plays the unlikely superhero for Princess Peach’s Mushroom Kingdom. Peach herself is our favorite Chess grandmaster from Queen’s Gambit, Anya Taylor Joy. 

Thanks to Easter, a long weekend meant more time for everyone to hang out at the movies. The Super Mario Bros Movie just happens to be the perfect film to watch with your family and before you know it, the film already has $377 million in its collection!

The Super Mario Bros Movie Box Office

The film initially opened up for previews on the last Tuesdays and officially dropped in America the very next day. Over the course of five days, it had made about $206 million domestically. The weekend box office was going to be a huge deal for Universal. This is because the film based on the Mario games made about $173 million worldwide by the time Easter was over.

Their success is more than what it may seem. Sonic the Hedgehog 2 has previously held the record of best box office opening for a video game movie with about $71 million. The bros review poured in and boosted the film to hundreds of millions. It left even Ant-Man and The Wasp: Quantumania behind. The Marvel film had accumulated about $249 million globally in its opening weekend.

And that’s not the only record. The film also surpassed Frozen II to become the highest-earning film over the weekend box office. Frozen II held the record at $358 million.

The Super Mario Bros Movie Talented Artists Work Together

Pratt was originally trolled and ridiculed on social media. He doesn’t even have a single Italian hair on his body, and so, the verdict was released. Some said he wouldn’t make a great Mario. Even Anya Taylor Joy was doubted for her role as Princess Peach. But things have come around the rainbow in the cloud. Both of them have played their roles wonderfully. Enough to make the film such a great hit.

One voice that was never doubted though was that of Jack Black. One of the most adored actors in Hollywood, Black is the voice behind the evil Bowser. He played the character with a burning passion, and it clearly shows. The film also plentifully references things like cat Mario and toad Mario making it as wholesome as possible. 

The Super Mario Movie release date is April 5. It’s already out in about 70 countries worldwide. If you haven’t watched the film, do yourself the biggest favor and go to the cinema right now!

However, it will probably not be the highest-grossing movie of all time unless it crosses the $2 billion mark.

Who thought Rachel from FRIENDS would make such an iconic duo with the ‘Sandman’ Adam Sandler himself? Murder Mystery 2 is now available on Netflix, and it’s made tidal waves on the platform. The very first film was released in 2019, with Sandler playing Nick Spitz and Aniston as Audrey Spitz. 

The two get caught up in a, you guessed it, murder mystery while trying to reinvigorate the spark in their marriage. The sequel of the film sees them opening their own detective agency since they were so good at solving the crime last time.

Murder Mystery 2 Has Second Biggest Opening Weekend

Even with low ratings from critics, Murder Mystery 2 has managed to amass about 42 million views. A huge number that’s almost double the opening weekend viewership of Murder Mystery. It is one of the few comedy mystery movies on Netflix, and somehow, it just works so well! The secret is undoubtedly in the chemistry between Jennifer Aniston and Adam Sandler. The two artists are best friends inside and outside of the film.

“I very much love to take care of him,” Aniston talked about working with Sandler. “He’s so concerned with taking care of everybody else, which he really does. And he doesn’t take care of himself.” 

It’s always a warm hug to the heart when you see two best friends working on films together. Unfortunately, critics may not have been as loving of the film as fans. While the Google users score for the film is 84% right now, it only sports a meager 5.7/10 on IMDb. Rotten Tomatoes, which is infamous for giving out rotten ratings, has done it once again as well. The RT rating for Murder Mystery 2 is 45%.

However, Netflix audiences are soaking the film in. Between 27th March and 2nd April, the film had secured 64.42 million hours watched. Also, it appeared in the Top 10 lists of over 90 countries at once. The numbers once again speak for themselves. The prequel of the film only had about 24.7 million hours watched in a similar time window.

TV Shows Viewership

Other than Murder Mystery 2, shows like Love is Blind and The Night Agent also had big moments. The Night Agent still dominates the list as the number 1 most-viewed show over the last two weeks. It has amassed over 47 million views thanks to its consistent fanbase. Moreover, it has gained over 385 million hours viewed. 

Love is Blind, on the other hand, manages to stay in the top 10 list with its fourth season. It also has around 47 million views keeping the audience entertained. Shadow and Bone season 2 was dethroned by The Night Agent. As a result, the former show fell to the third rank in the viewership list easily. In its third week, the show received about 27 million hours of viewership.

Finally, going in hard at number 7 was Chris Rock’s comedy special Selective Outrage. The show became increasingly famous because Rock finally opened up about the whole Will Smith debacle. And the man also made a lot of money out of it. Will Smith was reportedly “offended” by Rock’s rants, but it doesn’t look like the comedian cares anymore.

Have you ever wondered what would happen if an ancient space relic were to fall from the sky and bond to a boy? No, this isn’t the story of Ben Ten (or maybe it is.) This is the story of teen Jamie Reyes, a teen who finds the scarab that changes his life. Scarabs are powerful weapons in the DC universe capable of making world-destroying machines. But, in hands of Jamie, everything is under control. Or is it? Dive into the world of the Blue Beetle.

The new movie trailer for Blue Beetle movie was just let out into the wild and fans cannot keep calm. Driving comic-book nerds to the edge of their seats is something DC knows how to do very well. Mustache or no mustache, DC will keep pulling off the hype part just right. Charles Wojtkoski first came up with the character back in 1939. And now, in 2023, he finally gets his own spotlight.

Blue Beetle Film

The movie stars Xolo Maridueña! The star of the show shoulders the great responsibility of representing Latin culture in a superhero movie. The only other well-known youngling from the Afro-American community is Miles Morales. The two films are coming this year. Spiderman: Across The Spiderverse comes out in June, while Blue Beetle comes out this August. Excitement must be through the roof!

Angel Manuel Soto is the famed director of Blue Beetle. He has previously worked on great projects of art like La Granja, Charm City Kings, and 22 Weeks. It’s so much more interesting to realize that DC has brought forth so much talent from non-Americas all for one movie. The director has been pretty vocal about showing the world his Latin culture, which is relevant to the audience. The struggles and harmonies of the Latin world have been a subject in his works for a while. This is Soto’s first collaboration with DC, hopefully, we see him return if there is any chance of franchising another superhero movie as well.

This has been some fresh-out-the-oven DC news for you!
