Talk:Super Mario Bros. (film)

message: The lede states the film has attained "cult status" but is this really correct? the only quotes in the current page to support this are the director and producer who are hardly impartial. There are a few pages around the web that make a similar claim but most (if they're not repeating the claim by by Joffe and Jankel) of them seem to actually be connected to the SMB page, a specific fan page that a couple of chancers put together to promote their own fan sequel, or it's just being used as the sort of banal journalistic cliché that gets attached to any film that flops yet turns up its own wikipedia page. 148.197.47.194 (talk) 15:10, 29 April 2019 (UTC)

message: How is this controversial? People aren't being shot or put in gulags for saying they liked this movie. MightyArms (talk) 19:49, 8 April 2020 (UTC)

message: I don't care if it's not exactly the same name. Put the "the" in the wrong part of the name and you can accidentally be referring to the other movie. Serouj2000 (talk) 05:17, 7 October 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: Hey, please see Wikipedia:NATURALDISAMBIGUATION, the articles and films have slightly different names so disambiguation between them is not necessary. Thanks, Indagate (talk) 07:21, 7 October 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: Some people, when they're talking about this movie, especially before the announcement of the 2023 one, called it "The Super Mario Bros Movie" or "Super Mario Bros: The movie", and it could be a little jarring Serouj2000 (talk) 11:09, 7 October 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: Going by that logic, than (for example) Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events and A Series of Unfortunate Events (TV series) would be titled "Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events (2004 film)" and "A Series of Unfortunate Events (2017 TV series)" respectively.

thread_title:  We need the disambiguation. 

message: I can't find the number for the $38 million figure. (I've checked the newspapers)
This source which the article uses  doesn't mention the $38 million figure at all. Timur9008 (talk) 11:12, 17 February 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: Maybe there's a longer version of the article beyond a paywall?  If not, it could be a hoax.  We could use Box Office Mojo instead, which is clearly verifiable. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 03:14, 18 February 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: I've left Sudiani(the one who added the figure) a messege on his talk page asking about this. Timur9008 (talk) 10:29, 18 February 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: It's not a hoax! As I posted on IceWelder's talk page the print version of Variety contained a chart of 100 films. Super Mario Bros. was listed 71st with a domestic gross for the calendar year of $20,915,465 and a foreign gross of $17,997,000 for a total of $38,912,465. It was one place behind Guilty as Sin with a worldwide gross of $38,996,215 and above Body of Evidence with $37,938,251. You can see the chart in the image preview at this link but the detail is likely not visible without a subscription or a visit to your local library. https://varietyultimate.com/archive/issue/WV-01-03-1994-40 Like most films of that year and earlier, Box Office Mojo does not have international grosses and this was the first year that Variety published this regular annual chart.
