With an estimated $173 million in international earnings and a global total of $377 million, “Mario” broke records for video game adaptations and animated films .
The PG-rated “Mario” is an origin story of Brooklyn plumbers Mario, voiced by Chris Pratt, and Luigi , who fall into a pipe and come out in another world full of Nintendo’s most famous characters, from Bowser to Princess Peach . Critics were largely mixed. “Mario” currently has a 56% on Rotten Tomatoes. But audiences were more favorable, giving it an A CinemaScore.
Also, Dergarabedian noted, there is a long runway before “Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3” opens on May 5.“Mario” wasn’t the only movie based on a brand that opened in theaters this week. Ben Affleck’s “Air,” about the origins of Nike’s Air Jordan and how the corporation signed Michael Jordan, also debuted in 3,507 theaters Wednesday. The film, which marks Amazon Studios first global theatrical release, has grossed an estimated $20.2 million since opening Wednesday in North America, with $14.
“Air" is the first film from Affleck and Damon's new company Artists Equity which was formed last year in partnership with RedBird Capital.

rotten tomatoes once again taking the L
The most lovely movie
Cultural appropriation. As an Italian I want reparations
Not going WOKE and making BANK?..what a concept.
Saw it with my brother & boyfriend- I liked it. :)
It's almost as if making a movie with no underlying agenda is a successful formula.
So much for “film critics” that gave it a negative review. They should really all look for new careers.
