1 Failed 2010s Franchise Is A Cautionary Tale For Super Mario’s Movie Future

The Super Mario Bros. Movie was a massive hit, but one failed franchise from the 2010s proves that Mario‘s future success isn’t guaranteed despite the first film’s box office success. Illumination and Nintendo are already gearing up to turn The Super Mario Bros. Movie into the next big animated franchise, with sequels and spin-offs rumored to be in the works. Although it’s entirely possible that these future films could recreate the success of The Super Mario Bros. Movie, it isn’t guaranteed, as a franchise from the 2010s that was just as big turned what seemed like a surefire success into a massive failure.
