“The Super Mario Bros. Movie may soon be available to stream on Prime Video”

Amazon Prime Video has recently dropped a major hint that fans of the Super Mario Bros. franchise have been eagerly waiting for. The popular online streaming platform has teased a potential home release date for the upcoming Super Mario Bros. movie. This news has sent fans into a frenzy, eagerly anticipating the chance to stream the film in their own homes. In this article from IGN, we take a closer look at the hints dropped by Prime Video and what they could mean for the future of Super Mario Bros. on our screens.


The Super Mario Bros. Movie is expected to be available for streaming on Prime Video soon, with a placeholder release date of May 9 currently listed on Amazon’s video streaming service. Resetera user ContractHolder discovered the movie’s PVOD page, which is marked as “Early Access,” indicating that it may be available for streaming one month after its theatrical release. While the May 9th date is subject to change, it is significant that the PVOD marker has been used for movies going to PVOD early in their theater run. This arrangement is a result of a licensing agreement made by Universal with Amazon, Peacock, and Netflix in 2021. Universal films will be available for streaming on Peacock for the first four months, followed by Prime Video and Netflix for ten months, and Peacock again for the last four months during the 18-month theatrical window. However, the release pattern for The Super Mario Bros. Movie and Puss in Boots: The Last Wish has been different. The Super Mario Bros. Movie is currently in theaters, and for more on Illumination’s first video game adaptation, check out IGN’s review.


As fans eagerly await any news about the upcoming Super Mario Bros. movie, the Prime Video placeholder hints at a possible home streaming release date. While nothing has been confirmed yet, this tantalizing clue has left fans buzzing with excitement. With the film set to feature an A-list cast and groundbreaking animation, it’s no wonder that fans are clamoring for more. As we await further updates, we can only hope that we’ll be able to transport ourselves to the Mushroom Kingdom sooner rather than later. Stay tuned for more news on this highly-anticipated release!
