The Super Mario Bros. Movie
260 head-to-head matchups and still no clear verdict on The Super Mario Bros. Movie. 51% means the room is essentially split — a genuine coin flip every time it shows up in a bracket. Pure nostalgia fuel backed by a billion-dollar box office. The Nintendo brand carries a warmth that most IP adaptations can't manufacture, and warmth is an underrated weapon on a ballot. It leads both Michael Jelenic films tracked on BingeBracket. Voters pick in 1.8s on average — well under the 3.5s platform norm.
Synopsis
While working underground to fix a water main, Brooklyn plumbers—and brothers—Mario and Luigi are transported down a mysterious pipe and wander into a magical new world. But when the brothers are separated, Mario embarks on an epic quest to find Luigi.
The 50% headline hides real variation: 61% opening, 36% semis, 47% finals. The overall split is even, but the opening at 61% and the semis at 36% tell a more interesting story.
Tin Soldier is the easy matchup at 100%. The Amazing Spider-Man 2 is the kryptonite at 0%. The gap between best and worst opponent says a lot about what The Super Mario Bros. Movie can and can't handle.
The Super Mario Bros. Movie handles Wicked in the semis but can't get past Moana in the final (43%). The tournament nemesis is clear.
The Super Mario Bros. Movie leads Michael Jelenic's filmography on BingeBracket, though only 2 films are tracked so far. The Super Mario Galaxy Movie at 41% is the comparison point.
