Note that some of these apps, particularly Pokémon GO, were not available in all countries that Super Mario Run will be launching in during their first month of availability To put our projection of more than $70 million in first month revenue into perspective, we've compared it to the performance of several top-earning iOS games during their first 30 days, including the smash hit Pokémon GO, Apple Game of the Year winner Clash Royale, and perennial top grossing title Candy Crush Soda Saga.

Pitting the Plumber Against Pokémon (and More) Furthermore, we estimate the game will be downloaded more than 50 million times worldwide in its first month, a figure approximately 56 percent larger than Pokémon GO's estimated 32 million first month downloads on iOS. This would place Super Mario Run among the top five grossing iOS games of all time based on first month revenue. As we await the first download and revenue figures from our Store Intelligence platform, our Mobile Insights team forecasts that Super Mario Run stands to cap off a historic year for iOS game launches by earning more than $71 million in worldwide gross revenue ($50 million net) during its first month of availability in its launch countries (which do not include China).
