- 'Project Hail Mary' (AMZ) earned $45.4 million in its third week, bringing its total to $232 million.
- 'The Drama' (A24) debuted with $21.6 million in its first week across 3,087 theaters.

While the new romance film 'You, Me & Tuscany' starring Halle Bailey and Rege-Jean Page garnered $750,000 in Thursday previews, the box office continues to be dominated by 'The Super Mario Galaxy Movie', which is on track to hit $300 million in its second weekend. This success highlights the enduring appeal of the Mario franchise, even as other films like 'Project Hail Mary' and 'The Drama' also see significant returns.
