The highest-grossing movie of 2023 so far is The Super Mario Bros. movie. As for video game adaptations, Mario is the highest grossing film, ever – surpassing Warcraft and out-sleuthing Detective Pikachu. Universal is definitely pulling in the dough with this one, as the Mario movie is the studio’s 10th biggest animated movie worldwide. This film might answer the question for some fans: Who’s the better, more profitable video game mascot between Sonic and Mario? With the #Mariomovie hitting number one at the domestic box office for highest grossing video game adaptation of all time, Sonic is surprisingly left in the dust. The film currently stands at number 2 in the animated film category, somehow knocking Demon Slayer: Mugen Train down a peg. Gru and his minions, however, are well ahead of Mario with Minions: The Rise of Gru at $942.5 million. There’s apparently an age requirement to play James Bond, new details on when to expect The Flash movie on streaming, plus a lot more on today’s fix with Akeem Lawanson.
