Super Mario Galaxy Movie Surpasses Jurassic World at Box Office

The Super Mario Galaxy Movie has emerged as 2026's breakout box-office hit, becoming the first film this year to top $1 billion worldwide. Starring Chris Pratt, the animated adventure has reached $1.007 billion, overtaking Pratt's own Jurassic World: Dominion, which grossed $1.001 billion in 2025.

Based on the Super Mario Galaxy video game, the film follows Mario and Luigi as they travel across the galaxy with Princess Peach to stop Bowser Jr. from draining Rosalina's cosmic powers. The cast includes Pratt, Charlie Day, Anya Taylor-Joy and Brie Larson; the movie was released April 1, 2026 and runs 98 minutes.

Its momentum puts the picture close to challenging Christopher Nolan's The Dark Knight ($1.008 billion) and The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey ($1.017 billion). Potential 2026 contenders such as Spider-Man: Brand New Day, Supergirl and Avengers: Doomsday face an uphill battle, especially after recent underperformance from films like The Fantastic Four: First Steps and Superman, which has passed $615 million.
