The Super Mario Bros. Movie
52% overall with a pattern worth knowing: The Super Mario Bros. Movie opens well and fades. Early-round voters favor it; the films it faces in finals tend not to. 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 Aaron Horvath films tracked on BingeBracket.
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.
Strong at 64% in the opening round, solid at 40% in the semis, then 35% in the final. The further The Super Mario Bros. Movie goes, the tougher the opposition — and the results show it.
The closest rivalry is with Wicked at 52% — a matchup tight enough that a handful of votes could flip the lead. The Super Mario Galaxy Movie is the easy matchup at 69%. WALL·E 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 KPop Demon Hunters in the semis but can't get past The Amazing Spider-Man 2 in the final (22%). The tournament nemesis is clear.
The Super Mario Bros. Movie leads Aaron Horvath's filmography on BingeBracket, though only 2 films are tracked so far. The Super Mario Galaxy Movie at 35% is the comparison point.
