Illegal Twitter Upload of ‘Super Mario Bros.’ Watched by Millions Before Being Taken Down (Report)

The movie was uploaded in two posts from a now-suspended Twitter account called “vids that go hard,” according to Forbes

The Super Mario Bros. Movie, which has made more than $1 billion at the box office, has also been viewed by 9 million people — via an illegal upload to Twitter.

A now-suspended account called “vids that go hard” shared the animated movie in two parts over the weekend, according to Forbes.

The feature was viewable for more than seven hours, the outlet reported, before it was yanked from the platform.

“Vids that go hard” previously had a Twitter Blue designation which enabled the account to upload hour-long high-quality video, according to new guidelines from the company which have been established during Twitter CEO Elon Musk‘s reign.

The film, which stars Chris Pratt as the popular Nintendo character, reached $500 million at the worldwide box office after only a week of release.

The feat made it the highest-grossing movie of the year so far, outdoing Marvel Studios’ Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania, which opened in February.
