Super Mario Stays No. 1

The Illumination and Nintendo collaboration has pushed the franchise's total earnings past the $2 billion mark.

Meanwhile, the debut of 'Lee Cronin's The Mummy' fell short of expectations, earning $13.5 million to take third place. 'Project Hail Mary' continues to show remarkable staying power, dropping only 15% in its fifth weekend.

Art house releases like 'Mother Mary' also saw solid limited openings, providing a diverse mix for moviegoers.
