Chris Pratt Scores Rare Box Office Record With Super Mario Bros Movie & GOTG Vol. 3

Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 and The Super Mario Bros. Movie have provided star Chris Pratt with a rare box office record.

Pratt stars as Peter Quill (aka Star-Lord) in the Guardians of the Galaxy trilogy, which is a sub-franchise of the Marvel Cinematic Universe and premiered its third and seemingly final film in theaters this weekend.

Last month, he debuted in another film from a huge multimedia franchise, providing the voice for the lead role of Mario in The Super Mario Bros. Movie, which opened last month.

Per Deadline, the Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 box office will end the weekend with a gross of around US$110 million, making the film No. 1 in the U.S.

The film will knock The Super Mario Bros. Movie to No. 2 for the first time since that film's premiere last month.

This means that Pratt has starred in two consecutive No.1 movies at the box office, a rare feat for any actor.
