It’s-a blockbuster, again! “The Super Mario Galaxy Movie” towered over the global box office with $372.5 million, including a notable $182.4 million internationally.

Those ticket sales easily capture the title for the biggest worldwide debut of the year over Amazon MGM’s space odyssey “Project Hail Mary,” which bowed to $33.1 million overseas and $97.2 million worldwide. They’re about equal to the first installment in Universal and Illumination’s video-game inspired franchise; 2023’s “The Super Mario Bros. Movie” ignited to $171 million overseas and a stellar $375 million worldwide in the same timeframe. That film became a four-quadrant smash with $1.3 billion globally.
