"Universal Surpasses Disney as 2023's Box Office Champion with Mario and Oppenheimer"

Disney's seven-year reign as the box office leader ended in 2023, with Universal taking the top spot, largely thanks to the success of the animated Super Mario Bros. Movie, which grossed $1.36 billion globally. Disney's highest-grossing film of the year, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, earned $845 million, marking a year without billion-dollar hits for the studio. Universal's success was also bolstered by other films like Megan and Christopher Nolan's Oppenheimer. Despite the setback, Disney still secured second place in the industry with a total gross of $4.827 billion, just behind Universal's $4.907 billion.

Nintendo Renames Mario's Former Boss in Upcoming Movie to Avoid Offense.

Nintendo has changed the Japanese name of the character Foreman Spike to "Spike" in the upcoming Super Mario Bros. Movie, presumably to avoid offense. In the Japanese game, he was known as "Blackie," which could be considered offensive in English. Spike's appearances outside of Wrecking Crew are usually cameos and references where his name goes unmentioned. The decision may be somewhat strange, as Spike's Japanese name would only be offensive to those who speak English and wouldn't even apply to Spike as a slur.

From Blocks to Bowser: The Super Mario Bros. Movie Phenomenon.

The director of the Super Mario Bros. movie, Aaron Horvath, has explained how the brick blocks float in the Mushroom Kingdom. He revealed that there is a mineral called "Floatanium" that is natural to the Mushroom Kingdom, which the Toads mine and transform into blocks for construction purposes. Although it never made it into the final movie script, it's a neat explanation for a long-standing question. The Variety feature also contains insights from Shigeru Miyamoto, Illumination CEO Chris Meledandri, and the film's cast.

Seth Rogen's Super Mario Bros. Movie Controversy and Upcoming Donkey Kong Project

Fans of the upcoming Super Mario Bros. movie are disappointed with Seth Rogen's lack of effort in his role as Donkey Kong, as he has refused to do any voices and will simply sound like himself. Some have pointed out that this is a missed opportunity for Rogen to put his own creative spin on the character. Others have criticized the casting of major Hollywood celebrities over actual voice actors. Despite this, it remains to be seen if Rogen will surpass Chris Pratt as the most disliked actor in the movie.
