The Super Mario Galaxy Movie at the worldwide box office
The animated sequel has collected winning numbers again at the domestic box office on Monday, but it is still below The Super Mario Bros Movie and A Minecraft Movie.

It is below The Super Mario Bros Movie’s $3.5 million and A Minecraft Movie’s $5.7 million 3rd Monday collections. The domestic total of the movie after twenty days is $358.8 million.
According to Box Office Mojo‘s data, The Super Mario Galaxy Movie declined by 31% from its 2nd Monday in North America.

Inches away from surpassing Wicked
Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo starrer Wicked was released in 2024 and it became a critical and commercial hit. The musical fantasy film became one of the trending movies of the time, and Ridley Scott’s Gladiator 2 failed to survive in its wake; they were both released around the same time. It grossed $758.79 million worldwide. The Super Mario Galaxy Movie is around $6 million away from surpassing the global haul of Wicked.
Surpassing Wicked worldwide would be a notable achievement for The Super Mario Galaxy Movie, as Wicked is a highly popular blockbuster with strong word of mouth and repeat value. It would highlight that the Nintendo franchise is not just popular with gamers but can also draw massive viewers across all demographics and sustain box-office momentum. Chris Pratt, Anya Taylor-Joy, and Jack Black starrer The Super Mario Galaxy Movie was released worldwide on April 1.
