The Super Mario Galaxy Movie is in its fifth weekend of release in Japan, where it dropped to second place at the box office after four weeks at number one.
The Super Mario Galaxy Movie opened in Japan and held the top spot at the box office for its first four weekends. In its fourth weekend, the film returned to number one, ahead of the Patlabor EZY 'File 1' opening and the live-action Shōjiki Fudōsan debut. By its fifth weekend, the movie fell to second place, selling 203,000 tickets for 276,962,830 yen. The film's run has also extended into cross-promotional territory: Niantic's location-based game Pikmin Bloom launched a collaboration with the movie as part of its 4.5-year anniversary celebration, which includes a real-world event in Seoul and themed Decor Pikmin collection.
The box office performance shows a natural slowdown after a strong opening month, with the film losing the top spot to a new release. The Pikmin Bloom collaboration suggests Nintendo and Niantic are using the movie's theatrical window to drive engagement in their mobile title, though no further details about the film's broader release or home video plans have been reported. The movie's fifth-weekend figures are the most recent box office data available.
