‘Super Mario’ stays on top in N. America

“THE Super Mario Bros. Movie” did an impressive US$58.2 million (RM258.3 million) in ticket sales in North American movie theatres this weekend, easily fending off two new challengers, estimates showed yesterday.

The joint effort of Universal, Nintendo and Illumination studios, now in its third week out, ranks as the year’s top movie so far, taking in an accumulated US$434.3 million domestically and US$437 million internationally.
