The Super Mario Bros. Movie launches digitally in the U.S. tomorrow

As seen in theaters and on Twitter

Universal that its billion-dollar blockbuster The Super Mario Bros. Movie will be officially available for purchase in the U.S. via the company’s streaming service, Universal Pictures Home Entertainment, from tomorrow, May 16. It will retail for $29.99, or rentals are also available.

That’s a lot of Golden Coins.

The Super Mario Bros. Movie, which premiered in theaters on April 5 of this year, has been a staggering success — already surpassing a $1 billion box office to become the most successful cinematic release of the year so far, beating out offerings from the Marvel and DC Cinematic Universes. The Super Mario Bros. Movie joins a very small circle of films to have broken the billion-dolla﷽r barrier since the COVID-19 pandemic, and is expected to be the highest✃-grossing film of 2023.

Directed by Aaron Horvath and Michael Jelenic, the Illumination-produced movie sees the iconic Nintendo mascot and his friends face off against the nefarious Bowser and his army of familiar ne’er-do-wells. While critics have been fairly divisive of the film, clearly audiences were ready to just return to theaters amidst a wave of color, noise, and silliness. The success of the film is expected to lead to further collaborations between Nintendo and Illumination in the future, with either studio tentatively suggesting that they have been both impressed and inspired by the film’s incredible release.

The Super Mario Bros. Movie is still in theaters worldwide, and can be rented or purchased in the U.S. via the Universal Pictures Home Entertai🅺nment service tomorrow, May 16.
