Chris Pratt reacts to The Super Mario Galaxy Movie breaking records
Chris Pratt is over the moon as The Super Mario Galaxy Movie broke records and shattered expectations. The animated adventure raked in an estimated $372.5 million globally and snatched the title of 2026’s biggest film. The record-breaking opening dethroned the Nintendo franchise as the only animated series with two titles crossing the $350 million mark. It’s building on the success of its 2023 predecessor, making waves in its own right.
The film smashed records, claiming the largest worldwide opening of 2026 with a bang, surpassing Project Hail Mary. Additionally, it established a new record for the highest-grossing Wednesday launch of 2026, bringing in $34.5 million domestically on its first day.
Furthermore, the Super Mario Galaxy Movie has become the fifth-biggest animated film opening globally. It is Illumination’s second-highest global opening ever, just behind The Super Mario Bros. Movie, and the second-biggest global opening for a video game adaptation, again, trailing only its predecessor.
Pratt took to X (formerly Twitter) to express gratitude to fans for the film’s record-breaking box office success. He thanked audiences worldwide for their unwavering support, crediting the film’s massive opening to fans embracing Mario’s story and characters. Pratt also acknowledged the hard work of the cast and crew. He further highlighted the power of nostalgia, bringing both kids and adults to relive the magic of Mario in theaters.
Fans flooded the actor’s enthusiastic tweet with congratulatory messages, with one writing, “Unbelievable and so deserved.” “You’re welcome, Chris! Your Mario portrayal is excellent!” praised another. “Thank you all for bringing back my childhood. I had so much fun watching it,” echoed an X user.
