The Super Mario Galaxy Movie continues to prove how powerful Mario is beyond the world of video games. The new animated film from Nintendo, Illumination, and Universal has achieved excellent results at the box office and is now getting closer to the significant milestone of one billion US dollars in global earnings.
According to data from Box Office Mojo, The Super Mario Galaxy Movie has earned 943.2 million US dollars worldwide so far. Of that, 414.1 million US dollars was made in the domestic market, namely in the US and Canada, while international earnings reached 529 million US dollars. The film opened in domestic theaters with 131.7 million US dollars, with a reported budget of 110 million US dollars.
It is particularly interesting that the film is performing very strongly outside North America, where the international market accounts for 56.1 percent of total earnings. Box Office Mojo also lists earnings by individual markets, with the film having earned 660,803 US dollars in Croatia, while among the larger European markets, the United Kingdom leads with 49.2 million US dollars, France with 46.9 million US dollars, and Germany with 40.6 million US dollars.
The Super Mario Galaxy Movie follows the great success of The Super Mario Bros. Movie from 2023, which demonstrated that Nintendo has enormous potential in cinemas. This sequel expands the story beyond the familiar Mushroom Kingdom and takes Mario on a space adventure inspired by the popular game Super Mario Galaxy.
Given the current earnings, one billion US dollars no longer seems like a question of whether the film will reach it, but when it will surpass it. If that happens, The Super Mario Galaxy Movie will further solidify Mario's status as one of the strongest entertainment brands of today, not only in the gaming industry but also on the big screen.
