The Super Mario Galaxy Movie, the sequel to the 2023 animated adventure-comedy The Super Mario Bros. Movie, was released on April 1, 2026, and will soon complete its eight-week run in theaters. Although the sequel received a modest 42% critics’ score, it earned a significantly higher 88% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes. The strong audience appreciation has translated into massive box-office numbers.

The film has earned $424.6 million in North America and, combined with its $555.8 million international haul, its worldwide total now stands at $980.4 million. It is around $19.6 million away from reaching the $1 billion worldwide mark.

At the domestic box office, The Super Mario Galaxy Movie collected $3.2 million over the May 22-24 weekend, an impressive 28.6% drop from the previous weekend. On Memorial Day (May 25), the film added another $0.9 million to its domestic tally. This has brought its cumulative North American total to $424.6 million and currently ranks as the highest-grossing release of 2026 domestically, according to Box Office Mojo.

As the sequel enters the later stages of its theatrical run, it is closing in on the lifetime domestic gross of Toy Story 4. Keep scrolling to find out how much more it needs to earn in North America to outgross it at the domestic box office and how it compares with the Toy Story franchise.
