Rewritten statement for clarity
Publishers and box office trackers reported that The Super Mario Galaxy Movie has now surpassed $940 million globally, with an updated estimate of about $941.2 million after its sixth weekend in cinemas.
The film is forecasted to finish its theatrical run somewhere in the $1.0–$1.1 billion range.
Context within the Mario franchise
The Super Mario Galaxy Movie draws its name and inspiration from Nintendo’s Super Mario Galaxy series, originally developed by Nintendo for the Wii and first released in 2007.
Nintendo has increasingly licensed its intellectual property for high-profile film adaptations in recent years—a trend that includes the 2023 Super Mario Bros.
Movie, which grossed over $1.3 billion worldwide.
Digital release details
Studio announcements indicate the film will be available on digital retail platforms beginning Wednesday, May 20, 2026.
Specific storefront availability (for example, platform-by-platform listings on services such as the iTunes Store, Prime Video, or others) will be confirmed by the distributing studio as the date approaches.
Why this matters
A box office run above $900 million represents a significant commercial success for a video game adaptation and underscores Nintendo’s continued value as a cross-media franchise.
The scheduled digital release will give consumers worldwide access beyond the theatrical window, expanding the film’s revenue channels and audience reach.
