*The Super Mario Galaxy Movie* is out of this world.

For the second week in a row, the animated adventure following the Nintendo video game characters to outer space took the top spot at the box office with a global gross of $152.5 million — three times that of the runner-up, *Project Hail Mary* with $55.1 million.

The sequel to 2023’s *The Super Mario Bros. Movie* set the record for biggest premiere of 2026, with a worldwide $372.4 million opening, and has earned a cumulative $628.8 million since its April 1 release.

Ryan Gosling’s sci-fi space flick is still defying gravity at the box office, dropping only 23 percent in its fourth week, per Comscore. *Project Hail Mary*’s global total has now surpassed $510.6 million.

Zendaya and Robert Pattinson’s wedding rom-com *The Drama* is still in its honeymoon phase, taking the third spot at the domestic box office with $8.7 million in its second week, for a worldwide aggregate of $62.1 million.

In its first week, *You, Me & Tuscany* starring Halle Bailey and Regé-Jean Page charmed moviegoers in the U.S., opening with $8 million.

The rom-com follows a 20-something chef amid a quarter-life crisis who jets off to Italy to find herself, and discovers love in the process.

One of the most impressive debuts at the box office this week comes from a movie that’s only playing in one country: Japan’s *Detective Conan: Fallen Angel of the Highway*. The 29th anime film in the *Detective Conan* series, *Fallen Angel *earned $26 million (¥1.13 billion) its first weekend.

April 17's openers have little hope of spoiling *Mario*'s party. Wide releases include horror film *Lee Cronin's the Mummy* and Bob Odenkirk in crime thriller *Normal*, while Anne Hathaway-starring drama *Mother Mary* gets a limited release.
