Super Mario Galaxy Movie dominates

The film's continued dominance comes despite a 34% slip in domestic receipts as the spring movie season heats up. 'Project Hail Mary' remains a strong second, dropping only 15% in its fifth weekend to earn $20.5 million.

New horror entry 'Lee Cronin's The Mummy' debuted with a modest $13.5 million, failing to challenge the top two spots.

Industry analysts predict that Mario will soon become the highest-grossing film of the year.
