The Super Mario Galaxy Movie is still reportedly the favorite family movie in North America. The animated sequel will cross $400 million in North America today. It will be on the verge of crossing the domestic haul of Avatar: Fire and Ash, but is it happening this weekend? To find out about that, you’d better stick to the end of this article.
The animated sequel is also crossing a major milestone at the worldwide box office this weekend. It is still the highest-grossing movie of the year, with a worldwide box office of $800 million-plus. However, it performs worse than its predecessor and is expected not to surpass it. It will at least cross A Minecraft Movie and is expected to end its run as the all-time second-highest-grossing video game adaptation worldwide.
The Super Mario Galaxy Movie at the domestic box office
According to Box Office Mojo‘s report, The Super Mario Galaxy Movie drops to #3 in the domestic box office rankings. The animated feature has collected $2.7 million at the domestic box office on its 5th Friday. It is the 3rd biggest 5th Friday ever for a video game adaptation in North America. The sequel dropped by 41.3% from last Friday despite losing 319 theaters on Thursday. The movie has hit the $393.3 million at the domestic box office.
Can it beat Avatar: Fire and Ash at the domestic box office?
Avatar: Fire and Ash is a sci-fi film directed by James Cameron and the third installment in the Avatar franchise. It is the weakest film in the trilogy, which ended its box-office run a few weeks ago. The James Cameron film grossed just $404.3 million domestically, far less than its predecessors. Released in December 2025, Avatar 3 collected this sum over 119 days at the North American box office.
According to reports, The Super Mario Galaxy Movie is tracking to earn between $11 million and $13 million on its 5th three-day weekend in North America. Therefore, its domestic total is expected to reach $402.6 million by this weekend, missing Avatar: Fire and Ash’s domestic haul. But the animated sequel will overtake it in its 5th week. Beating a franchise movie such as Avatar 3 is a significant achievement and might boost its sales as well.
