- The sequel has earned over $600 million worldwide so far.

The Super Mario Galaxy Movie is experiencing significant box office success, having surpassed $600 million worldwide.

In its second weekend, the sequel earned an estimated $69 million domestically, a larger drop-off than the first film experienced.
Domestically, The Super Mario Galaxy Movie has accumulated $308.1 million. This figure represents 49% of its total gross, a higher domestic share than the previous film, which initially suggested stronger home-market performance. Nevertheless, questions linger about whether this installment will reach the $1 billion milestone.
