I think the only reason Super Mario bros earned that much is because … kids. People in general have grown tired of reboots, remakes, cinematic universes, you know, just the blatant milking of IP.

Then again, Barbie fits in that category. So I dunno.

Mario also benefited from being the only theatrical release from that franchise in 30 years. It was a hugely popular franchise that had been untapped, as far as movies go.

Really? Is that why they’re so successful?

Don’t get me wrong, I am tired of reboots and remakes and rehashes, but people aren’t.
