The Super Mario Galaxy Movie earned $35 million domestically its third weekend (April 17-19), bringing the Illumination-Nintendo-Universal release to $355.2 million domestic in 19 days and $747.5 million worldwide. [1] It is the first film to hold the weekend box office crown three consecutive weekends since Avatar: Fire and Ash. [2] The film is the year's highest-grossing release and is on track to clear $1 billion worldwide.

Project Hail Mary held second place in its fifth weekend with $20.5 million — a 15 percent week-over-week drop — bringing Amazon MGM's Phil Lord and Chris Miller adaptation to $285.1 million domestic in 31 days and $573.1 million worldwide. [3] The Ryan Gosling-starring science-fiction picture has now out-earned every 2026 original release.

Lee Cronin's The Mummy opened third with $13.5 million domestic and $34 million worldwide across 3,404 locations. Warner Bros. and New Line's R-rated reboot, produced by Blumhouse and Atomic Monster, carried a $22 million budget — modest for a wide release — but the opening landed well below the 1999 Brendan Fraser version's $43 million debut and vastly below that film's $417 million global total. [1] The Cronin picture drew a C+ CinemaScore from audiences and a 45 percent Rotten Tomatoes critics score, leaving it closer to 2025's "Wolf Man" ($35 million global) in performance profile than to its franchise predecessors. [1] A24's "The Drama" took fourth with $4.8 million in its third weekend. Zendaya and Robert Pattinson's relationship comedy has earned $39.7 million to date — a profitable independent run in a month defined by one tentpole.
