The film is directed by Aaron Horvath and Michael Jelenic from a screenplay by Matthew Fogel.

Charles Martinet, who has voiced the characters of Mario and Luigi in the Super Mario games for more than three decades, also makes a special voice appearance. The movie’s voice cast also includes Keegan-Michael Key, Anya Taylor-Joy, Jack Black, Seth Rogen, Fred Armisen, Kevin Michael Richardson and Sebastian Maniscalco. The animated comedic adventure story follows Brooklyn plumbers and brothers Mario ( Chris Pratt) and Luigi ( Charlie Day) as they are transported to the magical Mushroom Kingdom world and separated. And while critics are mixed on the movie, audiences gave it an A CinemaScore. Not only is the PG-rated pic whipping up interest among families, it is appealing to the generations of adults who grew up playing (or still play) Nintendo’s wildly popular Mario games. Super Mario is shaping up to be the first all-audience blockbuster of 2023. On Wednesday, Super Mario started off in North America with a huge $31.7 million and followed that up with $26 million on Thursday. It would also be the second-biggest five-day launch in history behind Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen as well as a near-record Easter holiday gross. Super Mario’s bow is already assured of scoring the top opening ever for a video game adaptation the best start ever for Chris Meledandri’s Illumination, home of Despicable Me and Minions and the top opening of 2023 to date. Box Office: 'Mission: Impossible 7' Opens to $80M, 'Sound of Freedom' Holds at No.
