Did You Know?
Rosalina’s galaxy‑wide debut: why fans say she deserved the spotlight
Original Rosalina voice actress Mercedes Rose took to Twitter to praise Brie Larson’s turn in The Super Mario Galaxy Movie, but she couldn’t hide her disappointment that the character got far too little screen time. Rose, who voiced the star‑guardian from 2007‑2010, joked that she wishes the role had been hers, underscoring a lingering fan desire to see more of the beloved cosmic figure.
Despite a lukewarm 42% critic rating on Rotten Tomatoes, the film proved a box‑office juggernaut, pulling in over $1 billion worldwide and earning an impressive 87% audience score. GamesRadar+ gave it three stars, noting that while the movie’s relentless energy and creativity push it beyond its predecessor, the story feels undercooked, especially in its handling of Rosalina’s role.
The movie also tossed a surprising twist into the Mario mythos: Rosalina and Princess Peach are revealed as sisters, reshaping long‑standing lore for fans. Illumination CEO Chris Meledandri highlighted the unique collaboration with Shigeru Miyamoto’s team as a key to the franchise’s success, marking a first for the studio in co‑creating with Nintendo’s creators.
Mario rockets to a billion‑dollar box‑office triumph in 2026’s video‑game movie boom
The Super Mario Galaxy Movie topped the year’s video‑game adaptation roundup, not just for its ambitious interstellar setting but for shattering the $1 billion worldwide mark. Even though critics were split, the film’s commercial pull outstripped its mixed reviews, making it the standout hit among titles like Mortal Kombat II and the new Street Fighter.
The ranking that placed Mario’s galaxy‑spanning adventure at the summit evaluated filmmaking craft, entertainment value, and how well each movie captured the spirit of its source game. While Mortal Kombat II delivered the tournament action fans craved and Street Fighter arrived with a massive cast, neither could match Mario’s box‑office fireworks.
Beyond the marquee names, 2026 also saw daring adaptations of niche titles—Markiplier’s indie horror Iron Lung and Japan’s Exit 8 turned obscure games into surprising cinematic successes. Yet it was Mario’s universal appeal that cemented the year as a watershed moment for video‑game movies, proving that even mixed‑review fare can dominate the global market.
Mario blasts past the competition, becoming 2026’s first billion‑dollar video‑game blockbuster
The Super Mario Galaxy Movie roared into theaters in April and instantly rewrote the 2026 video‑game movie playbook, pulling in a staggering $1 billion worldwide. That milestone not only crowned it the year’s first billion‑dollar film, but also left every other game‑based adaptation in the dust.
Even the most promising rival, Resident Evil, has scraped together just $361 million so far – a full $600 million shy of Mario’s haul. At current rates the horror franchise may edge toward $400 million, but it will still trail Mario by more than half a billion dollars, underscoring how far ahead the plumber’s adventure sits on the box‑office leaderboard.
The secret sauce is simple: Mario is a universal, family‑friendly juggernaut with a built‑in global fanbase, and the Galaxy installment rides the coattails of the 2023 Super Mario Bros. Movie, which earned $1.3 billion. That sequel momentum, combined with the franchise’s cross‑generational appeal, turned a crowded slate of video‑game releases into a clear winner, proving that a beloved, well‑established IP can still dominate the cinematic universe.
Nintendo’s galaxy adventure lands on Netflix this November!
Netflix is turning the spotlight onto the Super Mario Galaxy Movie, slated to stream on November 30 after its recent box‑office triumph. The animated blockbuster is the most headline‑grabbing addition to the platform’s November 2026 slate, promising fans a fresh, interstellar take on the beloved plumber’s universe.
The release underscores Hollywood’s accelerating push to translate hit video games into big‑screen spectacles. As the latest milestone in that trend, the Super Mario Galaxy Movie joins a growing list of game‑based adaptations, positioning Netflix as a go‑to destination for gamers‑turned‑viewers.
While the platform also rolls out classics like Bridesmaids, The Mummy, and the sci‑fi thriller Looper, the Mario title is set to be the crown jewel of the month’s lineup. With its blend of nostalgic charm and new cosmic adventures, the film aims to capture both longtime fans and newcomers looking for a high‑energy animated experience.
Brian Tyler’s cosmic score for The Super Mario Galaxy Movie lands a Hollywood Music in Media Awards nod
Brian Tyler’s sweeping orchestration for The Super Mario Galaxy Movie has been tapped for a nomination in the "Score – Animated Film" category at this year’s Hollywood Music in Media Awards. The accolade puts the film’s music alongside Ryan and Hays Holladay’s haunting work on the live‑action Resident Evil reboot and Tadayoshi Makino and Yuko Komiyama’s soundtrack for the Monster Hunter Outlanders mobile game.
The ceremony is slated for November 18 at the Avalon Hollywood, giving fans a chance to see whether the interstellar adventure’s soundtrack can clinch the win. The nomination shines a spotlight on the collaborative effort between Nintendo, Illumination, and Universal Pictures, which brought the sequel to The Super Mario Bros. Movie to theaters on April 1 in the U.S. and U.K., with a staggered rollout to other territories through late April.
While the Mario film’s music takes center stage, the awards lineup also highlights the broader gaming‑to‑screen crossover wave, with Resident Evil’s thriller score and Monster Hunter’s mobile game anthem earning nods. It’s a reminder that today’s blockbuster franchises are as much about their sonic identities as their visual spectacles.
Anya Taylor‑Joy’s galactic adventure with Mario lands on Netflix – and it’s already a $1 billion blockbuster.
The Super Mario Galaxy Movie marks a dazzling return for the Mushroom Kingdom’s heroes, and it’s the first time Anya Taylor‑Joy—fresh from her breakout turn as Beth Harmon—steps into the shoes of Princess Peach. The sequel, directed by the Teen Titans Go! duo Aaron Horvath and Michael Jelenic, expands the Mario universe from the streets of the Kingdom to the far‑flung reaches of space, promising a fresh comedic spin that’s already made it the second‑highest‑grossing animated film of 2026.
In this galaxy‑spanning escapade, Mario (Chris Pratt) and Luigi (Charlie Day) are enjoying their savior status when Bowser Jr. (Benny Safdie) snatches Princess Rosalina (Brie Larson) and drags her into the void of space. To rescue her, the brothers enlist a new ally—Yoshi, voiced by Donald Glover—alongside a familiar cast that includes Jack Black’s Bowser, Keegan‑Michael Key’s Toad, and a surprise cameo by Fox McCloud (Glen Powell). The film also teases future adventures with a post‑credit reveal of another beloved Nintendo character.
Commercially, the movie smashed the $1 billion mark worldwide, cementing its place as a box‑office juggernaut despite mixed reviews—The Guardian gave it one star, The Independent two, while Polygon praised its varied animation styles. Fans can stream the hit now on Peacock, and it lands on Netflix on Nov. 30, leaving plenty of speculation about a possible follow‑up as Nintendo’s 45‑year legacy of Mario content remains ripe for more interstellar mischief.
