The Super Mario Galaxy Movie is bringing a much-needed spring bloom to the box office, where the family pic is now on course to collect a record $370.7 million in its global debut from 80 markets, the biggest showing since James Cameron’s Avatar: Fire and Ash opened over Christmas 2025. And it is by far the top opening of 2026 among Hollyood titles.
Universal’s Saturday estimates shows the sequel on course to open to a mammoth $188.6 domestically, including a three-day weekend gross of $129.4 million, one of the best showings of all time for the Easter corridor, not adjusted for inflation. Overseas, it is headed for estimated foreign opening of $182 million, including previews, for a mammoth global launch not that far behind the first film.
