I was originally not going to include the 1993 Mario movie since it was so long ago and seems to belong to a different era, but in the end I decided it is a Mario movie after all. Nintendo would want us to forget. I was 8 years old at the time and even then I knew I had witnessed something truly wrong.

A little sad. While the Mario film was cute, Sonic 2 and 3 are rediculous art.

True gamers know that Mario was always the better franchise.

Interesting that each sonic makes more each time. Usually with sequels it’s diminishing returns

I didn’t even know they made a sonic 2.

I don’t understand how you can make a revenue chart and not note if it’s inflation adjusted. Otherwise, it’s not useful.

Feels like it would look fairly similar if you did the same with the games

Silver and gold, ladies. Ain’t no losers there.

Interesting. I haven’t seen either but based on word of mouth, the Mario movie was bad and the sonic movies are awesome

That’s crazy. I was exceptionally let down by the Mario movie. Great animation, but the storyline and the voice acting (other than Jack Black) really fell flat. I was pleasantly surprised by the writing and quality of the Sonic movies. They’re enjoyable to watch. Glad they didn’t use ugly Sonic.

The original Mario Bros. obviously doing all the foundational work.

Appreciate the “Mario and Sonic at the Olympic games” callback in the title

Still couldn’t break Half a billion…huh…
I love Sonic, I really do…
but these extremely toxic fans of his have to stop being so antagonistic towards other fandoms.

Full animated world that emulates the game vs cg characters thrust into the boring real world. Seriously why is Cyclops Sonics fucking dad now?! Weird shit.

The resurgence of 90s rivalries is what I’m here for. Blur Vs Oasis next.

Honestly surprised Sonic did that good.

I appreciate the inclusion of the 1993 Super Mario Bros movie.

This is also somehow the reason why Hasbro doesn’t want to make another D&D movie even though it was only out one week (debuted at #1) before being crushed with every other movie for weeks by the #2 movie of 2023.
