The Super Mario Galaxy Movie is now streaming on Peacock.
The Super Mario series stands as a titan in entertainment history. Following the monumental success of the 2023 film The Super Mario Bros. Movie, it was evident that this was just the beginning for what could become one of the largest animated film series ever. The release of The Super Mario Galaxy Movie earlier this year introduced audiences to new adventures with beloved characters, welcomed fan favorites from the video games into the movie series, unveiled major plot twists, and hinted at a third installment. Fans can now enjoy all these adventures from the comfort of their homes.
Peacock has announced that the animated follow-up, The Super Mario Galaxy Movie, will be available for streaming starting July 30. The film features a star-studded cast including Chris Pratt, Anya Taylor-Joy, Charlie Day, Jack Black, Keegan-Michael Key, Brie Larson, Donald Glover, Glen Powell, and Benny Safdie. Following its success at the box office, The Super Mario Galaxy Movie is set to captivate audiences on Peacock next month.
The Super Mario Galaxy Movie had big expectations to meet. The 2023 hit The Super Mario Bros. Movie achieved an impressive 95% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes and was a massive box office success, earning $1.36 billion during its theatrical run. This set a solid foundation for the continuation of the franchise. With a production budget of $110 million, The Super Mario Galaxy Movie needed to gross between $220 million and $275 million to break even.
The film exceeded these financial benchmarks with ease. While The Super Mario Galaxy Movie may have performed slightly lower in some respects compared to its predecessor, it still became a worldwide hit. It boasts an excellent 88% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes and concluded its theatrical showing with over $1 billion in earnings. It is the first and only movie of 2026 to surpass the billion-dollar mark at the box office. Toy Story 5, which has currently grossed $585.8 million, is expected to reach this milestone as well.
The Super Mario Galaxy Movie is not the sole offering from the franchise available to Peacock subscribers. Fans can also watch The Super Mario Bros. Movie and explore extra content such as Next Level: Making The Super Mario Galaxy Movie, which delves into the creative process behind the scenes and features discussions with the cast and crew. In The Super Mario Galaxy Movie, Princess Peach sets off on an interstellar mission to rescue Rosalina, joined later by Mario, Luigi, Yoshi, and others. The anticipated sequel to The Super Mario Galaxy Movie is slated for a 2029 release.
