[silenzahra]

The best news for us Mario fans ✨

We had the BEST news today 🥹👏❤

I literally did NOT expect whatsoever to get news of the sequel to the Super Mario Bros Movie today. Like, it was obvious there was going to be a sequel after that post-credit scene, but them actually confirming they were already working on it! Such a big surprise! 🤩🤩🤩 Totally unexpected but oh my God it made me so HAPPY!!! 😭😭😭 I swear I started to tear up and get emotional, there's still two years to go but that only means it's going to be made with just as much love and care like the first movie 🥹🥹🥹

And the remakes!!! 😭😭😭

Okay. This game. THIS GAME. This is my favorite Paper Mario game EVER. It means the world to me. It was the one that made me fall in love with this series so many years ago. You bet I started CRYING when it was announced last year. I simply couldn't stop sobbing at the news that it was gonna have a remake for the switch 🥹🥹🥹

I did think perhaps they'd announce its release date today, but I didn't expect it to be so soon! 🤩🤩🤩 I honestly thought we'd still have to wait till September, but oh my God, this MASTERPIECE is only two months away and I just can't stop SCREAMING and CLAPPING and CRYING 😭😭😭

And my boy Luigi is coming back this summer AAAAHHH I just can't WAIT to play with him again 😭😭😭 I ADORE Luigi and I LOVE the Luigi's Mansion series SO MUCH, the idea of exploring a haunted place with my favorite character EVER simply fills me with so much joy and emotion 🥹🥹🥹 I miss so much doing it!!! Knowing that we'll only have to wait till the beginning of summer to finally replay this AWESOME game really has me JUMPING out of joy 😭😭😭

And also!!! 🤩🤩🤩 These games coming to NSO in just a couple of days!!! 👏👏👏 Man I just LOVE Doctor Mario, it's so much fun! And Mario Tennis!!! 🤩🤩🤩 Oh my, this was my very first Mario Tennis game back in the 90s (yeah, I'm old 😆), and I was sooo good at it!!! 🤩🤩🤩 It was the game that made me understand how tennis works and how to play it, and it also made me wanna try every new tennis game that fell into my hands over the years! 🤭 And the music is so ICONIC, I swear every time I've played other Mario Tennis games, this music came to my mind whenever I was about to win a game 😂 I just can't wait to play it again!!! 🤩👏✨

I know I cry a lot over anything related to Super Mario, but on the one hand, I'm a totally emotional mess, I'm prone to easily crying for literally any reason, good or bad, and on the other hand, this franchise means the whole world to me and only brings me more and more happiness so of course all these news have me crying 🥹🥹🥹

$58m+ weekend estimate for KUNG FU PANDA 4...

That beats the openings of the other two sequels (using KUNG FU PANDA 2's $47m 3-day opening, not its whole Memorial Day weekend take), sits nicely below the $60m opening weekend gross of the first movie. All the way back in 2008, without 3D or DBOX or today's ludicrous ticket prices. Still, impressive!

Really held its own nicely against DUNE: PART TWO's second weekend, too. Packed showtimes yesterday at work, so packed that the other animated family film option - also a Universal movie, MIGRATION - was packed down to the front row as well.

Given how well it was doing, the estimates - some project - might be a little on the low side. If this indeed tops $60m, and maybe even KUNG FU PANDA's opening weekend gross... This will be DreamWorks' first film to top that amount on opening weekend since MADAGASCAR 3: EUROPE'S MOST WANTED. All the way back in 2012.

As such, it is still the company's biggest domestic opening since HOW TO TRAIN YOUR DRAGON: THE HIDDEN WORLD in 2019. COVID-19 really cut into some of the Comcast-era DreamWorks movies at the box office, and while theaters have been back for a while, a lot of DreamWorks' output now plays the same long game other animated movies have been playing as of late: Open small, have ludicrous legs. KUNG FU PANDA 4, being part of an iconic series that's over 15 years old now, obviously was poised to open a lot higher than - say - THE BAD GUYS. If DreamWorks fired up another sequel to an old favorite, like MADAGASCAR, I'm sure it'd open similarly.

(Remember when MADAGASCAR 4 was penciled in for a 2018 release over 10 years ago? Pepperidge Farm remembers...)

Also, I won't be surprised if - within a few months or so - KUNG FU PANDA 5 gets etched onto the schedule for a 2027 release.

Elsewhere in Universal and Jack Black animated movie land, it was announced today - MAR10 Day - that the new SUPER MARIO BROS. animated movie is in the works. Directors Aaron Horvath and Michael Jelenic return to the helm, to no one's surprise.

An untitled affair, and described kind of as a new movie and not so much a direct sequel? Well, whatever it is, it's debuting April 3, 2026. Much like the first movie, an early April 2023 release that went on to become one of the highest-grossing animated movies of all-time... So we have a date for that, but not whatever studio Illumination is serving up in 2025. Maybe they'll take that year off? Who knows. We have DESPICABLE ME 4 this coming summer, and then there's a gap in the schedule til this new Mario movie.

Universal's animation schedule so far. Looks like a powerhouse!

7/3/2024 - DESPICABLE ME 4 (Illumination)

9/20/2024 - THE WILD ROBOT (DreamWorks)

1/31/2025 - DOG MAN (DreamWorks)

8/1/2025 - UNTITLED (DreamWorks)

9/26/2025 - UNTITLED (DreamWorks)

4/3/2026 - UNTITLED MARIO MOVIE (Illumination)

9/25/2026 - UNTITLED (unknown at the moment, likely DreamWorks)

Three DreamWorkses in 2025, most of which are likely outsourced to Sony Imageworks, that DOG MAN movie will probably be a Mikros collaboration like CAPTAIN UNDERPANTS was. Fitting, both being based on Dav Pilkey books. I have a feeling we'll get an Illumination in there somewhere, either a summer picture (SECRET LIFE OF PETS 3? Some original movie?) or a near-Christmas SING threequel. That is, if Paramount moves THE SEARCH FOR SQUAREPANTS from that slot. I don't know at the moment. We also have that third LEGO MOVIE still, that's got its directors, release could be anytime at this point.

New Super Mario Bros. Animated Movie Announced For 2026 Release

New Post has been published on https://thedigitalinsider.com/new-super-mario-bros-animated-movie-announced-for-2026-release/

New Super Mario Bros. Animated Movie Announced For 2026 Release

Coming off last year’s overwhelming success of The Super Mario Bros. Movie, Nintendo and Illumination have announced that work has begun on a second movie set in the world of Super Mario Bros. The announcement, made by Nintendo’s Shigeru Miyamoto and Illumination CEO Chris Meledandri, states that this film will arrive in theaters in the United States on April 3, 2026.

While the announcement stops short of calling this “Super Mario Bros. 2” or even referring to it as a sequel, Miyamoto confirms that Nintendo and Illumination are working together on this one, and the director duo of the first film, Aaron Horvath and Michael Jelenic, are returning. “As for the details of the new movie, as I often say, we’ll let you know once we’re at the stage where we’re ready to share more,” Miyamoto said in the announcement video posted on Nintendo of America’s YouTube channel. “This time, we’re thinking about broadening Mario’s world further and it’ll have a bright and fun story. We hope you’ll look forward to it!”

The Super Mario Bros. Movie stars Chris Pratt, Anya Taylor-Joy, Charlie Day, Jack Black, Keegan-Michael Key, and Seth Rogen. Nintendo and Illumination have yet to confirm any of the cast of this new film set in the Super Mario Bros. world. The Super Mario Bros. Movie arrived in theaters on April 5, 2023 to positive fan and critic reception, and earned a place among the highest-grossing films of all time. The new film set in this same world is set to arrive almost exactly three years later on April 3, 2026.
