So, I came across this crazy article the other day about Super Mario Bros. Apparently, our favorite little plumber guy is on track to outdo Star Wars: The Last Jedi in terms of box office sales. Honestly, I had to do a serious double take when I read that! But apparently, according to La Tercera, Super Mario Bros has already raked in over $500 million and is projected to climb even higher. It’s wild to think that a video game franchise could beat out one of the biggest movie franchises of all time!
Aside from the shock factor, the article goes on to explain why Super Mario Bros has been able to achieve such tremendous success. For one thing, it appeals to a wider audience than just hardcore gamers. Kids, adults, and even senior citizens all love Mario and his gang. Plus, there’s a nostalgia factor at play, with so many people having grown up playing the games. Finally, the franchise has adapted well over the years, consistently adding new games and merchandise to keep things fresh.
Honestly, I couldn’t believe how much money Super Mario Bros has made over the years. I mean, I know I’ve contributed my fair share - I’ve been playing those games for as long as I can remember! But it’s really impressive to see just how far the franchise has come since its humble beginnings.
All in all, I think this article is a good reminder of just how much we love our video games. They have the power to capture our imaginations and bring joy to millions of people around the world. And who knows? Maybe one day we’ll see a Super Mario Bros movie that gives Star Wars a run for its money!
