“THE Super Mario Galaxy Movie” — based on Nintendo’s popular video game franchise — topped North America’s box office for the third week in a row, industry estimates showed Sunday.
The animated sequel from Universal and Illumination Studios tracking the adventures of Mario, Luigi and friends in outer space raked in another $35 million, Exhibitor Relations reported.
That puts the worldwide box office total of the film — which features the voices of Jack Black, Chris Pratt, Anya Taylor-Joy and Brie Larson — at nearly $750 million. Holding its own in second place is another space adventure, Amazon MGM’s smash hit “Project Hail Mary”, which earned $20.4 million over the weekend in the United States and Canada.
The film, which stars Ryan Gosling as a teacher-turned-astronaut who awakes on a spaceship with a mission to save Earth from a dimming sun, has earned more than $570 million worldwide, and its run in movie theatres has been extended.
“’Super Mario’ and ‘Project Hail Mary’ continue to drive the business in their third and fifth weekends — they’re carrying the box office,” said analyst David A Gross of Franchise Entertainment Research. Debuting in third place is “Lee Cronin’s The Mummy,” an original horror flick from Warner Bros, which earned $13.5 million.
The film is not related to Universal’s adventure films starring Brendan Fraser. In the fourth spot at $4.8 million was “The Drama,” A24’s romantic comedy with a dark twist starring Zendaya and Robert Pattinson about a couple unravelling just before their wedding.
