With an estimated $182.4 million from 80 overseas markets, the film is looking at an astronomical $372.5 million debut .

The Super Mario Galaxy Movie was a blockbuster hit at this weekend’s box office, and it seemingly has paved the way for another Nintendo movie adventure.

One of the biggest reasons this sequel connected so strongly with both kids and longtime fans is the introduction of new fan-favorite characters like Bowser Jr. and Yoshi.
