Overview

  • The Universal and Illumination sequel collected $69 million over the weekend, lifting totals to $308.1 million domestic and $629 million worldwide, according to Sunday studio estimates.
  • The sophomore decline was about 47–48%, compared with a 37% second weekend for 2023’s The Super Mario Bros. Movie, which analysts say points to a lower final domestic finish than the earlier film’s $574 million.
  • Overseas results are uneven, with strong runs in markets like Mexico, the U.K. and Europe but a softer trajectory in China, where second‑Saturday grosses fell about 53% and trailed recent animated titles.
  • Amazon MGM’s Project Hail Mary remained a force with roughly $24.5 million domestically in its fourth frame and $510 million worldwide to date.
  • Universal’s You, Me & Tuscany opened in fourth with about $8 million on an $18 million budget and an A‑ CinemaScore, drawing an audience that was roughly 80% women, which could help it hold in coming weeks.
