NEW YORK: 'The Super Mario Bros. Movie' continued to rack up coins at the box office, leading ticket sales for the third straight weekend, as the animation hit neared $1 billion after just 18 days in theaters.The weekend's top new release, the horror reboot 'Evil Dead Rise' debuted solidly, launching with $23.5 million, according to studio estimates Sunday. But that was no match for Universal Pictures' 'The Super Mario Bros. Movie,' which grossed $58.
The Ben Affleck-directed film, about Nike's courting of Michael Jordan, dipped a modest 29% in its third weekend with $5.5 million to bring its cumulative total to $41.3 million.But while horror remains one of the most dependable genres at the box office, and families — after a long dry spell of all-audience releases — have flocked to 'Super Mario,' some adult-oriented releases have continued to have a harder time attracting audiences.
