The Super Mario Galaxy Movie retained its box office hold in its third weekend of release, topping the charts with $35 million. The Universal and Illumination release is already the year’s highest-grossing film, having earned $355.2 million domestically and $747.5 million globally, and seems destined to eclipse the $1 billion mark worldwide. At this rate, expect the studios to get more Mario into production as fast as they can level up and Nintendo will allow it.

Lee Cronin’s The Mummy was third in its debut weekend, earning only $13.5 million.

Warner Bros. and New Line release didn’t cost much to make, carrying a budget of $22 million, but its final tally is far cry from the nearly $150 million that Cronin’s 2023 film “Evil Dead Rise” collected.

James Wan and Jason Blum produced “The Mummy” through their production banners, Atomic Monster and Blumhouse Productions, and it continues their run of monster movies, falling somewhere between 2020’s well-received “The Invisible Man” ($144.5 million globally) and 2025’s lamentable “Wolf Man” ($35.2 million globally).

Magnolia’s Normal, took seventh place, earning $2.5 million. The action film stars Bob Odenkirk as a small town sheriff who stumbles on a larger conspiracy following a local bank robbery. Ben Wheatley, who has developed a reputation for boundary pushing ultra-violence with the likes of “Free Fire” and “High Rise,” directs.

Rounding out the top five, Universal’s rom-com “You, Me & Tuscany” picked up $3.8 million to bring its haul to $14.4 million after two weeks in theaters. In limited release, Focus Features’ “Lorne,” a documentary about “SNL” creator Lorne Michaels, debuted to $270,000 from 415 theaters, while A24’s “Mother Mary, earned $168,063 from just five locations.
