Facing the animated juggernaut, the madness The Drama remains firmly established on the podium, while the romantic novelty You, Me and Tuscany gets off to a good start.

He always has his head in the stars.

Mario continues to top the US box office. For its second weekend, Super Mario Galaxy confirms its enormous momentum and collects another 69 million additional dollars (in a giant park of 4,280 theaters), easily keeping first place in the North American ranking.

These ticket sales represent a 48% drop in attendance compared to its launch, a remarkable result for a blockbuster of this scale. To date, the video game adaptation has earned $308 million across the Atlantic. This is slightly less (-12%) than Super Mario Bros., the movieat the same stage, in 2023 (his career ended at 574.9 million in the United States and Canada).

But the cartoon from Illumination, Nintendo and Universal has already earned $630 million worldwide! After only 12 days in theaters, Super Mario Galaxy is already the biggest success of the year 2026, ahead of Last Chance Projectwhich has held the top spot since last month.

Ryan Gosling has still earned $510 million worldwide to date, quite a score for Amazon MGM’s science fiction film. And Last Chance Project retains second place at the US box office with $24.5 million in its fourth week of operation, a drop of only 21% compared to the previous weekend, accumulating $256.6 million in North America. It’s strong.

It must be said that the competition wasn’t crazy this week: few major releases. counter-programming You, me and Tuscanydirected by Kat Coiro, didn’t really weigh in the balance. The romantic comedy launched with 8 million in 3,100 theaters, for fourth place. The film, which will be released in France on August 12, appeals mainly to a female audience (79%). 18-34 year olds, particularly fans of The Bridgerton Chroniclesrepresent 53% of the spectators who came to see Regé-Jean Page.

Finally, we can emphasize the good behavior of The Drama. The black comedy from A24 collected $8.7 million for its second weekend in 3,817 theaters (with a drop limited to 38%) and remains on the US box office podium. Led by Zendaya and Robert Pattinson, the film has now earned $30 million in North America and $65 million worldwide. A solid score for a production whose budget does not exceed 28 million.
