Super Mario Galaxy Box Office Scores Huge Global Record While Pushing Franchise To $2 Billion Overall

The Super Mario Galaxy Movie continues to shoot for the moon at the box office.

Illumination’s sequel to their 2023 animated Nintendo adaptation The Super Mario Bros. Movie has been consistently trailing behind that record-smashing hit (which grossed $1.361 billion worldwide), but it has still proven to be a major smash. Over the course of its first three weeks in theaters, 2026’s The Super Mario Galaxy Movie has earned the biggest domestic debut of 2026 so far, become the first movie of the year to top the domestic box office for three consecutive weekends, and rocketed past multiple major milestones both in North America and worldwide.

Per Deadline, as of Sunday morning, The Super Mario Galaxy movie is projected to end its third weekend in theaters by hitting a cumulative global total of $747 million, comprising $355.2 million from domestic theaters and $391.8 million from international markets. In addition to this total pushing Illumination’s Super Mario franchise past the $2 billion milestone to $2.108 billion, it rockets the new movie past the $647.8 million global total of the Chinese racing movie hit Pegasus 3 to make it the highest-grossing movie of 2026 so far.
