Mario and Luigi are about to turbocharge the box office.

“The Super Mario Galaxy Movie” is aiming for $175 million to $180 million in its first five days of release. Since its predecessor, 2023’s “The Super Mario Bros. Movie,” was enormously popular, exhibitors and independent tracking services believe that initial ticket sales will power to $190 million to $200 million. Like the original, Universal is getting a jump on the weekend by launching the family film in 4,000 North American theaters on Wednesday.
