\n The box office continues to heat up as the summer season app<\/a>roaches.<\/p>\n

\n Illumination and Universal\u2019s The Super Mario Bros. Movie<\/em> remains a monster at the multiplex as it crosses the $400 million mark domestically and $866.1 million globally. It will easily win the weekend race in North America with a projected haul of $58 million for a domestic cume of $434.1 million through Sunday. Overseas, it\u2019s on course to earn another $65 million for a foreign total of $432 million.<\/p>\n

\n The movie adaptation of the Nintendo video game<\/a> is playing more like an all-audience blockbuster than an animated tentpole thanks to its multi-generational appeal and will become the first movie of 2023 to join the billion-dollar club.<\/p>\n

\n Super Mario<\/em> continues to make history. At $58 million, the pic would supplant Jurassic World<\/em> ($46.4 million) to rank as Universal\u2019s biggest third weekend in history. It would be the seventh-biggest third weekend among any film at the domestic box office after surpassing Spider-Man: No Way Home<\/em> ($56 million) and the biggest for an animated title, not adjusted for inflation.<\/p>\n

\n Other new records: Mario<\/em> is now the highest-grossing animated film in Universal history at the domestic box office after besting Minions: The Rise of Gru\u00a0<\/em>($369.7 million) and the third-highest of any Universal movie behind behind\u00a0Jurassic World\u00a0<\/em>and\u00a0E.T. The Extraterrestrial<\/em>, unadjusted.<\/p>\n

\n Coming in a strong No. 2 at the domestic box office is Warner Bros.\u2019 new supernatural offering Evil Dead Rise<\/em>, the fifth installment in the cult series<\/a> created by Sam Raimi. The movie earned $10.3 million from 3,402 locations on Friday for a projected opening of $23 million or more (some have it higher). That\u2019s ahead of expectations. Directed and written by Lee Cronin, the pic has been embraced by critics and earned a B CinemaScore from audiences (that\u2019s a good grade for the horror genre). <\/p>\n

\n Evil Dead Rise<\/em> stars Lily Sullivan and Alyssa Sutherland as sisters in a twisted familial tale of demonic possession. Morgan Davies, Gabrielle Echols and Nell Fisher co-star.<\/p>\n

\n The movie was originally intended to go straight to HBOMax, but Warners switched course as part of its overall focus on theatrical, a mandate handed down when Warner Bros. Discovery chief David Zaslav took office.<\/p>\n

\n Guy Ritchie\u2019s The Covenant<\/em> is also opening this weekend. Distributed by MGM, the military action thriller took in $2.3 million from 2,611 theaters on Friday for a projected third-place finish of $6.1 million. The well-reviewed film earned an A CinemaScore from audiences.<\/p>\n

\n The Covenant<\/em> stars Jake Gyllenhaal as a U.S. Army sergeant who goes back to Afghanistan to rescue his former interpreter, played by Dar Salim, from the clutches of the Taliban. <\/p>\n

\n The big headline at the specialty box office is Ari Aster\u2019s Beau Is Afraid<\/em>, which is expanding nationwide after scoring a stellar start last weekend in four theaters. The mind-bending film, starring Joaquin Phoenix, is expected to gross $2.7 million or more from 926 locations. Beau Is Afraid<\/em> should come in No. 9.<\/p>\n

\n Elsewhere, specialty distributor Searchlight decided to open Stephen Williams\u2019 Chevalier<\/em> nationwide from the get-go. The period drama stars Kelvin Harrison Jr. as Chevalier de Saint-Georges, the famed French nobleman, violinist and conductor who was of mixed race.<\/p>\n

\n Chevalier<\/em> may fall outside of the top 10 in its debut with a projected $1.5 million from 1,275 theaters to place No. 11. It grossed $540,000 on Friday.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
