Super Mario Galaxy Nears $1 Billion as Digital Rollout Begins

The May 19 PVOD debut shifts revenue toward home platforms, tightening the film’s remaining theatrical upside.

Overview

  • The Super Mario Galaxy Movie has reached roughly $966–968 million worldwide with about $418–420 million of that from North America, making it the top global grosser of 2026 to date.
  • Universal’s sequel has climbed franchise and studio rankings, becoming the second-highest grossing video-game adaptation ever and surpassing Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom to become Universal’s sixth-biggest domestic release.
  • The film began a paid digital rollout on May 19 on storefronts such as Prime Video, Apple TV, Amazon and Fandango At Home, with reported purchase and rental prices varying across outlets.
  • Physical 4K UHD, Blu-ray and DVD editions are scheduled for June 16 and will include more than an hour of behind-the-scenes bonus features supplied by Nintendo and Illumination.
  • Made on a reported $110 million budget, the movie has already generated sizable theatrical profit but now needs roughly $30–33 million more to hit $1 billion worldwide, a target made harder as home sales divert audience spending.
