“The Super Mario Bros. Movie” left its box office competitors in the dust, scoring a massive $87 million in its second weekend of release. Ticket sales declined just 41% from its debut, resulting in the best sophomore outing ever for an animated film. So far, the video game adaptation has grossed $347.8 million in North America and $678 million globally.

“Mario” stayed strong even as several new movies entered the theatrical race, to varying results. In a surprise finish, Universal’s wacky horror-comedy “Renfield,” which sees Nicolas Cage as Count Dracula and Nicholas Hoult as his rebelling henchmen, landed in fourth place with a disappointing $7.7 million from 3,375 locations. Heading into the weekend, it seemed like the film would take the No. 2 slot. Instead, “Renfield” arrived behind Sony’s R-rated demonic thriller “The Pope’s Exorcist,” which also fell slightly short of expectations with $9.1 million, and Lionsgate’s “John Wick: Chapter 4.”

Elsewhere at the box office, Crunchyroll’s coming-of-age anime adventure “Suzume” opened to $5 million from 2,170 theaters. That’s a much lower start than other recent anime movies from Crunchyroll, like “Demon Slayer” installments and 2022’s “Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero” ($22 million). However, “Suzume,” which was directed by Makoto Shinkai, has great reviews and has already done huge business in Asia. It was released last year in Japan, where it became a huge hit with $104 million.

“Suzume” took the No. 7 spot ahead of another newcomer, Bleecker Street’s “Mafia Mamma,” which took in a dismal $2.04 million from 2,002 theaters. Toni Collette stars in the poorly reviewed film as a mild-mannered suburban mom who unexpectedly inherits her late grandfather’s Italian mafia empire.
