Until last weekend, only one movie released in 2026 had hit the coveted $1 billion mark. The video game adaptation sequel The Super Mario Galaxy Movie, which features the voices of Chris Pratt, Anya Taylor-Joy, and Jack Black, just edged past the milestone as its theatrical run came to an end, becoming the latest recent animated sequel to do so, following the likes of China’s Ne Zha 2, Inside Out 2, and Zootopia 2. Many had expected the next film to hit this milestone to be Toy Story 5, but the King of Pop has officially gotten there first.
