Overview
- Weekend estimates reported Sunday put The Super Mario Galaxy Movie at $35 million for weekend three, lifting its totals to about $355 million domestic and $747 million worldwide.
- The two-film Mario series has now cleared $2 billion in global box office, according to Deadline, placing the Illumination/Nintendo partnership among the top animated franchises.
- Project Hail Mary held in second with about $20–20.5 million for a $285 million domestic cume and roughly $573 million worldwide, as Amazon MGM extends its theatrical window and the film returns to IMAX for a one-week run.
- New wide release Lee Cronin’s The Mummy opened in third with roughly $13–13.5 million domestic and about $34 million worldwide; the C+ CinemaScore and mid-40s critic score point to shaky legs despite a modest reported $22 million budget.
- Next weekend’s launch of Super Mario in Japan during Golden Week and the arrival of Lionsgate’s Michael are set to reshape the charts, with Japan’s holiday timing often delivering a major boost for family titles.
