To give you an idea of just how dramatically The Super Mario Bros. Movie has been over-performing at the domestic box office, here’s some context. In its fourth weekend of release, the animated video game adaptation was expected to gross $30 million, but as things stand, it’s actually looking at a final figure that's around $10 million higher.
Super Mario’s sustained domination meant that a trio of new releases were left in the dust this week. Leading the pack was Lionsgate’s coming-of-age comedy Are You There God? It’s Me, Margaret. Based on the 1970 children’s novel by Judy Blume, the phenomenally well-reviewed film picked up $6.4 million in its debut weekend, finishing third. The Finnish-language historical action movie Sisu, from director Jalmari Helander, just about managed to find a spot in the top 10, grossing $3.
Last week’s new release, the horror sequel Evil Dead Rise retained the number two spot with an excellent $12.5 million, marking a solid 50% drop. The film’s running domestic total now stands at just under $45 million. Evil Dead Rise, the fifth film in the long-running horror franchise established by the great Sam Raimi, is pacing ahead of 2013’s Evil Dead reboot, which ended its domestic run with $54 million domestically and just under $100 million worldwide.
