A report from The Hollywood Reporter has revealed that The Super Mario Galaxy Movie has passed $628 million in worldwide revenue. As such, it has more than quintupled its original budget of $110 million.
This past weekend, it experienced a relatively short box office decline of $69 million. So far, it has made $308.1 million in North America specifically after just 12 days. It initially opened to a revenue of $34 million dollars after just one day. Additionally, it had the best opening day of any film in 2026 so far and the best of any April Wednesday in cinema history. While neither Nintendo or Illumination have officially confirmed a sequel, considering its success and the after credits of the film, it’s highly likely it is in early development.
The Super Mario Galaxy Movie released on April 1. It stars Chris Pratt as Mario, Charlie Day as Luigi, Keegan Michael Key as Toad, Anya Taylor Joy as Peach, and Jack Black as Bowser. Brie Larson, the Academy Award winning actress from Room and Captain Marvel, voices Rosalina. Benny Safdie, director of The Smashing Machine and Uncut Gems, who has also acted in Oppenheimer and Obi-Wan Kenobi, voices Bowser Jr.
The film also features Luis Guzmán (Wednesday, Punch Drunk Love) as Wart, Issa Rae (Barbie, Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse) as the Honey Queen, and Donald Glover (Solo: A Star Wars Story, Atlanta, Community) as Yoshi. Most recently, Nintendo and Illumination revealed that Glen Powell (The Running Man, Twisters, Top Gun: Maverick, Hit Man) plays the role of Fox McCloud.
Lastly, Super Mario Galaxy + Super Mario Galaxy 2 are available now on Nintendo Switch for $39.99. Final Weapon reviewed Super Mario Galaxy + Super Mario Galaxy 2 and rated it a 4.5/5.
