The blockbuster movie “Super Mario Bros. Movie” was leaked and millions of Twitter users were able to watch 1 hour and 32 minutes of it.

Released in two parts, one hour long and the remaining half hour, the upload of “The Super Mario Bros. Movie” came amid the ongoing Twitter saga of copyright issues.
After the video made the rounds on the app for two days, reportedly garnering more than 9 million views, it appears that Twitter eventually caught wind of the viral leak and deleted the video due to a violation of Copyright.
Naturally, hordes of Twitter users shared their reactions to the ordeal.
This month “The Super Mario Bros. Movie” became the first movie of the year to cross the $1 billion mark worldwide at the box office, just 26 days after its release. It also won the title as the highest-grossing screen video game adaptation ever.
