As its incredible theatrical run comes to a conclusion, The animated video game version has broken numerous box office records in the roughly two months that it has been showing in theaters around the world.

Super Mario Bros is currently just behind Frozen 2 on the all-time list, but it will take a major miracle to surpass that movie’s $1.45 billion lifetime worldwide gross. Despite this, there is still one significant record that Super Mario has a good chance of breaking. It may actually surpass Incredibles 2’s $608 million lifetime gross to become the most successful animated film in American box office history if it manages to hold on for just a little bit longer.
Super Mario has fared better than every Pixar movie ever made, every DreamWorks movie, every Blue Sky movie, and every Illumination movie combined in the past two months.
