The Super Mario Bros. Movie Completely Takes Over 5 TOHO Cinemas For Some Immersive Mario Fun

 

Wahoo! The Super Mario Bros. Movie will soon be hitting screens around the world and in the video game’s homeland of Japan, Toho Cinemas is going all out for the mascot of Nintendo, kitting out five of its biggest theaters to be Super Mario. themed. 

 

While we don’t yet know what the theaters will look like, Toho revealed today that the entrance of the theaters will feel like walking into the Mushroom Kingdom with the inside being themed in Mario motifs. Toho previously did something similar for the Minions film (also by American animation company Illumination) that saw seats in the “Minions Theater” covered in Minions faces.

 

 

The five theaters that will be hosting a “Super Mario Theater” are TOHO Cinemas Roppongi Hills in Tokyo, TOHO Cinemas Namba in Osaka, TOHO Cinemas Nijo in Kyoto, TOHO Cinemas Akaike in Aichi and TOHO Cinemas LaLaport Fukuoka in Fukuoka. They will be running for 10 days from April 28 to May 7.
