Universal/Illumination’s “The Super Mario Galaxy Movie” will easily hold on to the No. 1 spot on the box office charts this weekend even as it takes a noticeably larger drop from its opening weekend than “The Super Mario Bros. Movie” did in 2023.

The Nintendo sequel will earn $69 million this weekend, which is a 47% drop from the film’s $131 million Friday-Sunday opening.
