How far behind is it from The Super Mario Bros Movie’s domestic haul?
The sequel has consistently lagged its predecessor in the dailies. The Super Mario Bros. Movie was released in 2023 and became a huge success, the highest-grossing video game adaptation ever. It grossed $574.9 million at the domestic box office during its theatrical run and was the second-highest-grossing film of 2023. Now, the sequel is more than $257 million away from matching its predecessor’s extraordinary domestic total.
Can the sequel beat its predecessor’s domestic haul?
According to box-office experts, The Super Mario Galaxy movie is tracking to gross between $430 million and $480 million in its theatrical run. It is around $95 million to $145 million less than The Super Mario Bros Movie‘s domestic haul. Therefore, there is no chance the sequel will outgross its predecessor. There is also a chance that the sequel ends up earning on the lower end of this projected range.
The Super Mario Galaxy Movie has grossed over $639.03 million worldwide so far, and counting. The animated sequel has been running in theaters since April 1.
