Waralaba mana yang dibantu oleh The Super Mario Galaxy Movie hingga menjadi seri film video game pertama yang melampaui 2 miliar dolar di box office global?

The Super Mario Galaxy Movie helped push the overall Super Mario film series past $2 billion in global box office earnings, making it the first video game movie franchise ever to cross that milestone, after this particular installment itself became the first film of 2026 to earn $1 billion worldwide on its own.

The Sonic the Hedgehog and Pokemon film series are both successful video game adaptations too, but neither has matched the box office scale of the Super Mario films, and neither was the franchise that specifically crossed the $2 billion combined milestone in 2026.

Video game movie adaptations were long considered a risky genre in Hollywood due to a history of poorly received films, making the Mario franchise's box office dominance a notable turnaround for the category.
