The Super Mario Galaxy Movie Confirmed for Digital Release on May 19
Universal Pictures has officially confirmed that The Super Mario Galaxy Movie will be available for digital download starting Tuesday, May 19, 2026. This announcement follows earlier incorrect reports regarding an imminent home release. In addition to the digital debut, the film will be released on 4K Ultra HD and Blu-ray, featuring over an hour of special content. These extras include a making-of documentary with representatives from Nintendo and Illumination, as well as insights from cast members such as Chris Pratt, Anya Taylor-Joy, Charlie Day, Jack Black, Brie Larson, and Keegan-Michael Key. Despite receiving mixed to negative critical reviews, with Eurogamer awarding it only two stars, the film has achieved significant commercial success. It recorded a strong opening weekend and subsequently became the highest-grossing film of 2026 so far, surpassing Project Hail Mary at the box office. Critics noted a lack of character development, but audience demand has driven its market performance.
