Instead, the film spent several weeks building up to the over $1 billion in box office sales. This saw it finally reach the milestone after its 10th week in theaters. This is despite the early release of the digital version of the film on May 19, 2026, which likely cannibalized some of its ticket sales. It's worth noting that The Super Mario Galaxy Movie is still behind The Super Mario Bros. Movie in box office performance. The first film in the series pulled in $1.361 billion during its theatrical run. For comparison, The Super Mario Galaxy Movie only just eked past $1 billion with its box office performance of $1,000,028,930. The Super Mario Galaxy Movie is also likely near the end of its theatrical run, which will limit its ability to close the gap between it and The Super Mario Bros. Movie.
