It's Comcast's Universal Pictures unit and not Disney that wears the "animation crown" these days.
Universal's Super Mario Bros. Movie opened to $204.6 million domestically over its first five days of release, making it this year's biggest North American theatrical premiere so far. Adding in the $173 million the movie has made internationally, the film -- a collaboration between Universal's Illumination unit and video game maker Nintendo -- now has a global box office revenue total exceeding $377 million.
