The Super Mario Bros. Movie continues breaking record after record like they’re brick blocks, now at $1.249 billion globally – surpassing The Incredibles 2’s $1.24 billion to become the fourth highest grossing animated movie of all-time. Only three Disney titans stand in the way of the Mario Bros. achieving total global victory. The current Top Ten Highest Grossing Animated Films are:
- The Lion King (2019) — $1.66 billion
- Frozen 2 — $1.45 billion
- Frozen — $1.28 billion
- The Super Mario Bros. Movie — $1.249 billion
- Incredibles 2 — $1.24 billion
- Minions — $1.16 billion
- Toy Story 4 — $1.073 billion
- Toy Story 3 — $1.067 billion
- Despicable Me 3 — $1.034 billion
- Finding Dory — $1.029 billion
Bronze medalist Frozen is well within striking distance, though it’s a notably higher climb to surpass Frozen 2 and The Lion King. Still, as the highest grossing non-Disney animated film ever, to call the movie anything but a success would be highly erroneous. It’s only a matter of time until we see a followup.
