‘The Super Mario Galaxy Movie’ rockets to $629 million worldwide at the box office

‘The Super Mario Galaxy Movie’ is dominating the box office in its second weekend. Universal and Illumination’s sequel added $69 million from 4,284 theaters in the U.S. and Canada. Its domestic total now stands at $308.1 million, with a global total of $629 million. The figures mark a 48% drop from its first weekend, which is modest for a blockbuster.

The romantic comedy starring Halle Bailey and Regé-Jean Page is getting mixed reviews but positive audience feedback.
