Mario Galaxy Movie hits $629M

Universal and Illumination’s latest hit is on track to surpass the $1 billion mark in the coming weeks.

The film’s success comes despite a slight dip in ticket sales, as it continues to dominate theaters across North America and Europe.

Meanwhile, the sci-fi epic Project Hail Mary has also performed well, surpassing $500 million globally.

Industry analysts say the strong quarterly performance of these tentpole films signals a significant comeback for the theatrical business.
