This new direction is built on the staggering success of the 2023 hit,\u00a0The Super Mario Bros. Movie<\/a><\/em>. Their focus, \u201cto create smiles through entertainment,\u201d continues to be their number one priority, so the financial statement reveals the company cares more about contributing to the growth of in-house IPs and bringing families together than \u201cthe measurable results\u201d recorded by theatre box office numbers.
