The Mario movie's success could spell trouble for other franchises.
TL;DR Summary
The Super Mario Bros. Movie is performing unexpectedly well at the box office, with a projected drop-off of just 45 percent in domestic returns from last weekend. If it breaks the billion-dollar mark, it could lead to a deluge of gaming-flecked movies and TV shows from Hollywood, including potential adaptations of Crash Bandicoot, Spyro The Dragon, Banjo-Kazooie, and Bubsy.
