Chris Pratt's Mario and Anya Taylor-Joy's Princess Peach have embarked on a new adventure in The Super Mario Galaxy Movie, and the gamble has paid off handsomely. The animated film has delivered an impressive performance at the global box office, crossing the $1 billion mark and becoming the first film of 2026 to achieve the milestone.
The film has generated $428.5 million at the domestic box office in the United States and $571.5 million internationally, making it the second-highest-grossing video game adaptation of all time, trailing only its predecessor, The Super Mario Bros. Movie (2023), which earned $1.36 billion worldwide.
The Super Mario franchise has now cemented itself as one of Hollywood's most lucrative animated properties, with the two films generating $2.3 billion in global ticket sales, making Super Mario the ninth-highest-grossing animated franchise in the world.
