Michael & Super Mario Sequel Are Close To Massive Milestones
May 24, 2026
By Devanshi Basu
Despite being in massive competition, Michaeland The Super Mario Galaxy Movie are nearing huge milestones at the box office. Both films continue to dominate the global theatrical scene, with neither showing signs of slowing down. Michael added over $20 million this past weekend alone, and the Mario sequel sits just $20 million shy of a ten-figure total, a feat few animated films ever achieve.
Michael nears $800 million worldwide
Four weeks into its theatrical run, Michael’s box office total stands at an extraordinary $788 million globally. The biopic earned over $84 million in a single week. International markets are driving the bulk of the revenue, accounting for nearly 60% of the total with $468 million.
The United Kingdom leads all international territories with $54.8 million. Across Europe, France has pulled in $41.48 million, followed by Germany at $27.29 million and Italy at $25.12 million. In Latin America, Mexico and Brazil are neck and neck — $26.58 million and $26.04 million respectively — while Colombia has crossed $11 million.
Domestically, Michael’s box office collection is at $319.9 million in the United States and is now tracking toward the $350 million milestone in North America. In the Asia-Pacific region, Australia leads with $23.59 million, and South Korea opened to a strong $4.91 million in its debut week.
China has nearly reached $10 million, with India climbing past $7.3 million. Notably, it is yet to be released in Japan, which could push it further towards that $1 billion mark (via Box Office Mojo).
The Super Mario Galaxy Movie is very close to $1 billion
The Super Mario Galaxy Movie, the highest-grossing film of 2026, is sitting at $980.3 million worldwide and needs just $20 million more to cross the $1 billion threshold. Domestic earnings account for 43.3% of that total at $424.5 million, with international markets contributing $555.8 million (via Box Office Mojo).
The sequel continues Mario and Luigi’s journey through the Mushroom Kingdom, this time venturing further after Princess Rosalina is kidnapped by Bowser Jr. The film reunites returning cast members Chris Pratt, Charlie Day, Anya Taylor-Joy, Brie Larson, Jack Black, Benny Safdie, and Keegan-Michael Key, while introducing Donald Glover as Yoshi and Glen Powell as Fox McCloud.
