The ARR is a super-quick 67 days, especially for a film with a domestic box office take of $560.9 million.

Planned for distribution are Combo Pack editions for the 4K Ultra HD (with Blu-ray) and Blu-ray (with DVD) formats, plus a stand-alone DVD edition.

Bonus goodies include the “Peaches” music video and a quartet of featurettes — “Getting to Know the Cast,” “Leveling Up: Making The Super Mario Bros. Movie,” “The Super Mario Bros. Movie Field Guild” and “Leadership Lessons with Anya Taylor-Joy.”
