The legendary Shigeru Miyamoto says negativity going into the release of The Super Mario Bros. Movie only helped it.
Shigeru Miyamoto, aka Mario’s father, is obviously powered up over the box office success of The Super Mario Bros. Movie, but it seems even sweeter that since its numbers worked to silence many doubters.
Speaking with Nintendo Dream Web (courteously translated by Video Game Chronicle), Shigeru Miyamoto said that negativity surrounding The Super Mario Bros. Movie from critics and audience naysayers only backfired-like running over your own banana peel. Shigeru Miyamoto said that the negative reviews of The Super Mario Bros. Movie from critics and audience members contributed to its success. There, too, have been a lot of vocal objections from John Leguizamo, blasting the producers for not including people of color in the roles, saying the casting has gone “backwards.”Still, Shigeru Miyamoto remained positive after the release of Illumination’s Mario movie. “I had a certain expectation that this movie would do well…but was surprised that it went above and beyond what I could’ve imagined when it finally came to be.” This “beyond,” includes nearly $1 billion worldwide. It is the first movie in 2023 to achieve that. It’s expected to hold the top spot for one more week at the box office, before being thrown into the blue shell of
Guardians Of The Galaxy Vol. 3.Looking outside of those charts, as it stands, critics have it at 59% on Rotten Tomatoes, while the audience score is an astounding 96%. It turns out that the movie is quite enjoyable. Shigeru Miyamoto claims that “notoriety and hype” made
The Super Mario Bros. Movie an incredibly successful movie. Do you agree? Why do you believe the movie has been so successful? Let us know below!https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KMtsBTN388w
