On May 25, 2012, The Super Mario Bros. Movie Archive hosted a 19th anniversary screening of Super Mario Bros. at Landmark's NuArt theater in Los Angels, California. Nearly 190 seats were filled, with 157 paid tickets and around 30 special guests from the production, including David L. Snyder, Dana Kaminski, Parker Bennett, and Brian Jennings. Many of these people had not seen each other in years, and some had not seen the film in nearly as long.
The NuArt was surprised at the number of people that showed as well as their enthusiasm. There was cheering and laughing all throughout the movie at just the right times. It just goes to show that the film has a presence even now. David, Parker and the others were stunned at the turnout, feeling that perhaps their work was finally validated. Following the screening, David stated via Twitter that he was "Stunned. Audience howled throughout. It's a goof."
Our 19th anniversary screenings of Super Mario Bros. kicked off in April 2012 at the Sunshine Cinema in NYC. For the April 27th showing, Shawn Caple of Underbelly hosted for us while special guest speaker Michael Criscuolo spoke on his role on the film.
