Toho (the Japanese distributor) has sent a new press release to share some more details about the performance of the Super Mario Bros. Movie in Japan. The company announced that the movie has now grossed over 14 billion Yen (roughly $93,400,00) in the country, 25 weeks after its launch

The Super Mario Bros. Movie has been available on Blu-Ray (and DVD) in Japan since last month, but this week, TOHO brought the movie back in theatres via a series of time-limited 4D screenings.

And it’s thanks to those very screenings that the movie finally reached that new (and most likely final) milestone: it was at 13.53 billion Yen the last time TOHO shared an update, back in August. Those screenings were so popular, some theatres even decided to keep them running from October 20th onwards (they were supposed to end today, on October 19th).

Here’s some more data (as of October 18th):

Cumulative box office revenue: 14,000,490,640 Yen ($93,476,936), up from 13,534,965,620 Yen ($90,368,770) as of August 7th
Tickets sold: 9,841,933 (up from 9,504,609 as of August 7th)

And here’s some additional stats:

2nd most successful western animated movie (no change since last update)
12th most successful animated movie (western + Japanese) (was ranked #13 as of August 7th)
17th most successful movie (was ranked #20 as of August 7th)

And finally, here’s some worldwide data:

United States: $574,934,330 (up from $574,173,895 as of August 7th), 15th highest grossing movie of all times (was #14 as of August 7th)
International: $786,687,674 (up from $778,583,000 as of August 7th)
Worldwide: $1,361,622,004 (up from $1,352,756,895 as of August 7th), 16th highest grossing movie of all times (was #15 as of August 7th)
