The Super Mario Galaxy Movie delivered another major weekend at the box office, adding $69 million domestically to push its North American total to $308.1 million and its worldwide haul to $629 million.

The film, produced by Universal Pictures and Illumination, saw a 48% drop from its opening weekend, a relatively modest decline for a major blockbuster, signaling continued strong audience demand, particularly among family moviegoers.

While the sequel trails behind The Super Mario Bros. Movie at the same point in its theatrical run, industry analysts say it remains a clear commercial success. The film was produced on a reported $110 million budget, making its current global earnings highly profitable.

Box office analysts noted that the film’s performance is especially notable given that many tickets were sold at lower child pricing, further underscoring the scale of its reach.

The strong showing has also helped boost overall box office momentum heading into the summer movie season, which traditionally begins in May.

Elsewhere at the box office, Project Hail Mary placed second with $24.6 million in its fourth weekend, bringing its domestic total to $256.7 million and its global earnings to over $510 million.

Third place went to The Drama, which brought in $8.7 million in its second weekend, showing a relatively small drop and reaching $65 million worldwide.

Universal’s new romantic comedy You, Me & Tuscany debuted in fourth place with $8 million, performing solidly among female audiences despite a mixed critical reception.

Rounding out the top five was Hoppers, which added $4.1 million in its sixth weekend and has now earned $354.4 million globally.

Other notable performers included the Japanese video game adaptation Exit 8, which brought in $1.4 million from a limited release, and smaller titles like “Faces of Death” and “A Great Awakening,” which rounded out the top 10.

The continued dominance of “The Super Mario Galaxy Movie” highlights the enduring strength of established franchises at the box office, even amid mixed reviews, as studios increasingly rely on recognizable brands to drive ticket sales.
