Super Mario Bros. Movie Gets A New Earlier Release Date

Super Mario Bros. Movie release dates are closer than anticipated, but not by much, much to the dismay of Nintendo fans who can’t WAIT.

The Super Mario Bros. Movie launch date has been pushed back a few days. Universal Pictures released the date change just shy of one month before the movie’s expected release date. This will reportedly affect the US, as well as 60 other markets.

Mario was created as Nintendo’s mascot in 1981 by Shigeru Miyamoto. Super Mario Bros. has shared many adventures. They have featured animated features, video games, comic adaptations, a failed live-action ’90s movie, as well as other media. Nintendo shared the animated Super Mario movie on Twitter with despicable me creators Illumination Studios. The announcement received much fanfare and celebration, which spanned generations.

After the Super Mario Bros. Movie release time was set by Nintendo for a 2022 date, the film was moved to 2023. An April 7th release date was set for the American and most other international markets. A Twitter announcement made by the movie’s official account has moved the planned release date up from the 7th of April to the 5th of April. The Wednesday premiere will be held instead. The tweet was exact and reads “Wahoo!” The #SuperMarioMovie opens in America on April 7th and will run until April 5th in over 60 markets. The movie will also be available in additional markets in April, May, and Japan on April 28.

Although there was no explanation or further information, some speculated that the move was made to ensure parity across countries to avoid spoilers and allow for a uniform release. Fans expressed their delight over the two-day reduction in wait time, which has now been extended to five years. The Super Mario Bros. Movie may have a shorter runtime than animation standards, but fans are eager for it. They are the ideal target audience for animated movies like this.

While there were some reservations about the Super Mario Bros. Movie at first, such a complaint that Mario Charles Martinet was not contacted to voice his character. The film seems poised to get a warm welcome from fans of all ages. It will be interesting to see how this all plays out and how it impacts the earnings figures and rankings.

The Super Mario Bros. Movie comes out in theaters, on April 5th, 2023.
