Universal and Illumination’s The Super Mario Galaxy Movie just delivered the biggest opening of 2026 to date, blasting off at the global box office with a $372.5 million debut. Starring Chris Pratt and Jack Black, the sequel’s success reaffirms video game adaptations’ dominance on the big screen.

Against middling reviews and somewhat negative pre-launch buzz, A Minecraft Movie is now poised to score this year’s biggest opening weekend in North America. In just three days, the Warner Bros and Legendary co-production has made $145 million and counting, far exceeding its initial projection.
