The Super Mario Galaxy Movie hit theaters on April 1, and it’s putting up huge numbers right out of the gate. The animated film brought in $34 million within the US for its opening day, which is nice for the most important opening day thus far in 2026, outpacing Project Hail Mary ($33.1 million).
It is also the very best opening for a movie that opened on a Wednesday in April in US history, beating a record set by April 2023’s The Super Mario Bros. Movie ($31.7 million), in keeping with Deadline.
The Super Mario Bros. Movie went on to make $146.3 million over its first three days on Easter weekend in 2023 and $204.6 million over the five-day period from Wednesday-Sunday. The Super Mario Galaxy Movie, meanwhile, is projected to make $128.2 million over its first three days and $186 million for its first five.
