The Super Mario Galaxy Movie has made $428.5M in the United States and $571.5M overseas at the box-office.

How does ice age have five films? I didn’t know it was that big.
technically it’s now got 7 if you count the one on Disney Plus and the upcoming Boiling Point. Oh and find my pages.
Minions across 6 films average nearly a billion each film?
That’s upsetting- I hate those things.
