It has been more than a month since the release of The Super Mario Bros. Movie, and the animated video game adaptation is still breaking box office records. Now it has surpassed the $500 million mark. That makes it Illumination and Universal's&nbsp;first animated feature to do that. It is also only the fourth movie since 2019 to get past the point. The film is already the biggest movie based on a video game ever. Globally, its box office haul stands at $1.04 billion. Featuring Chris Pratt as the titular Italian-American plumber, the film is based on Nintento's celebrated Mario franchise. The film also has Anya Taylor-Joy, Charlie Day, Jack Black, Keegan-Michael Key, Seth Rogen, and Fred Armisen voicing various characters.

The Super Mario Bros Movie follows the story of Mario and Luigi (Day), two plumbers from Brooklyn who get sucked into a Warp Pipe and end up in different kingdoms. Mario ends up in the Mushroom Kingdom ruled by Princess Peach (Anya Taylor-Joy), while Luigi lands in the Dark Lands ruled by the Koopa king Bowser (Black).

WION's review of the film was mildly positive. It read, "In the grand scheme of things, The Super Mario Bros. Movie is a small blip on the radar of video game adaptations. It's not the worst one out there, but it's certainly not the best. However, it's a testament to the enduring popularity of the Mario franchise that people are still interested in seeing these characters on the big screen, even after all these years."

The review continued, "One of the strengths of these games has always been their ability to appeal to a wide range of audiences. Kids and adults alike can enjoy the colourful worlds and zany characters that populate the games. The movie is able to capture that same sense of joy and wonder, bringing to life its world in a way that feels true to the source material."

Super Mario Bros Movie creates another box office record! Surpasses $500 million in North America

The Super Mario Bros. Movie did an impressive $58.2 million in ticket sales in North American movie theatres&nbsp;this weekend, easily fending off two new challengers, estimates showed Sunday.

The joint effort of Universal, Nintendo and Illumination studios, now in its third week out, ranks as the year's top movie so far, taking in an accumulated $434.3 million domestically and $437 million internationally.&nbsp;

Voice actors in the game-based animation include Chris Pratt, Anya Taylor-Joy, Jack Black and Keegan-Michael Key.

Second place for the Friday-through-Sunday period went to Warner Bros.' blood-soaked horror movie Evil Dead Rise, at $23.5 million -- "an excellent opening" for a movie made for just $17 million, said analyst David A. Gross.

Lily Sullivan and Alyssa Sutherland star as sisters battling a crew of demonic creatures known, not so subtly, as Deadites.

Another new release, MGM's action war movie Guy Ritchie's The Covenant,&nbsp;didn't fare quite as well, taking in an estimated $6.3 million for the third spot. Gross said that "weak start" fell well short of the average for the genre.&nbsp;

Jake Gyllenhaal stars in the film's tale of a US army sergeant who, after returning to the United States, goes back to Afghanistan to rescue a friend (played by Iraq-born Dar Salim) who had once saved him from the Taliban.

In fourth place, still strong in its fifth week out, was Lionsgate's neo-noir thriller John Wick: Chapter 4,&nbsp;at $5.8 million. Keanu Reeves plays the titular hitman.

And in fifth was Amazon Studios' Air, a sports drama about the business deal surrounding Nike and the Michael Jordan basketball shoe of the title name, at $5.5 million. 
 
Rounding out the top 10 were:

Dungeons &amp; Dragons: Honor Among Thieves&nbsp;($5.4 million)

The Pope's Exorcist&nbsp;($3.3 million)

Renfield&nbsp;($3.1 million)

Beau Is Afraid&nbsp;($2.7 million)

Suzume&nbsp;($1.6 million)

Super Mario fights off Evil Dead to stay on top of the US box office

The Super Mario Bros. Movie continues to go from strength to strength and it has now crossed the $700 million mark worldwide. The film was made on an approximate budget of $100 million, so it is already a humongous hit. It has been less than two weeks since the movie was released. Earlier, the Illumination movie had become the highest-grossing video game adaptation, edging out 2016's Warcraft. Featuring Chris Pratt as the titular Italian-American plumber, the film is based on Nintento's celebrated Mario franchise. The film also has Anya Taylor-Joy, Charlie Day, Jack Black, Keegan-Michael Key, Seth Rogen, and Fred Armisen voicing various characters.
