Super Mario Galaxy’ Repeats No. 1, Becomes 2026’s Top Grosser With $629 Million Worldwide

A bigger second‑week drop than the 2023 film still points to sturdy turnout that is buoying the spring box office.

Overview

  • Studio estimates Sunday put the sequel at $69 million for the weekend, lifting totals to $308.1 million domestic and about $629 million worldwide.
  • The second‑weekend decline of roughly 47%–48% was steeper than the 2023 movie’s 37% slide, yet analysts including Comscore’s Paul Dergarabedian called the hold respectable.
  • Amazon MGM’s Project Hail Mary finished second with about $24.5 million and has reached roughly $510 million globally after four weekends.
  • Universal’s You, Me & Tuscany opened fourth with about $8 million, earned an A- CinemaScore, drew an audience around 80% female, and carries a modest $18 million budget.
  • Indie newcomers split outcomes as Faces of Death debuted near $1.7 million with a C CinemaScore and Exit 8 took about $1.4 million on far fewer screens with stronger word of mouth, underscoring healthy counterprogramming.
