The Super Mario Galaxy Movie continues its box-office run, with early Friday sales hovering around $18.7 million across 4,284 theaters. Industry trackers estimate a roughly $71 million three-day haul, keeping the Illumination/Nintendo/Universal production on track to clear $310 million in the U.S. by Sunday.
Voiced by Chris Pratt, Jack Black, Charlie Day and Anya Taylor-Joy, the animated sequel is projected to reach a $310.1 million domestic total by the end of the weekend. In its second weekend, the film sits at seventh among animated titles, behind Inside Out 2, the 2023 Super Mario Bros release, Frozen 2, Incredibles 2, Finding Dory and Shrek 2.
Other new entries such as You, Me & Tuscany, The Drama, Hoppers and A Great Awakening are vying for attention, but Mario remains the box-office anchor for the period. The film’s performance underscores Illumination’s capacity to sustain momentum with major family titles.
