The Super Mario Galaxy Movie isn't letting go of its box office momentum. Nintendo and Illumination's sequel remained at #2 in Japan during its sixth weekend, pulling in 151,000 tickets and 205.4 million yen (about $1.28 million) from Friday through Sunday. The film has now accumulated 5.18 million tickets sold and 7.14 billion yen ($44.61 million) total.

The film's staying power is impressive—it opened at #1 in Japan on April 24 with 1.12 million tickets and 1.6 billion yen in its first three days. Director Aaron Horvath and Michael Jelenic return for the sequel, alongside composer Brian Tyler, who's handling the score again.

Meanwhile, Detective Conan: Fallen Angel of the Highway continues the franchise's winning streak. The 29th Detective Conan film held at #4 in its eighth weekend, selling 144,000 tickets and earning 219.9 million yen ($1.37 million). More notably, it's now crossed into the 10-billion-yen club—the fourth consecutive Detective Conan film to hit that milestone since 2023's Black Iron Submarine. The film has amassed 8.65 million tickets and 12.76 billion yen ($79.79 million) overall.

The new Detective Conan entry focuses on Chihaya Hagiwara, a Kanagawa police officer leading the motorcycle division. Miyuki Sawashiro voices the character, taking over the role from the late Atsuko Tanaka. The supporting cast includes inspector Jugo Yokomizo, teenage detective Masumi Sera, and related characters connected to Chihaya's past.

Also making its debut this weekend was Mononoke the Movie: Chapter 3: Snake God, the third installment in the Mononoke film trilogy. The film opened at #6, earning 117.4 million yen ($734,000) in its first three days. Hiroshi Kamiya returns as the Medicine Seller, with other cast members from the previous two Mononoke films.

The mixed results show how Japan's box office is balancing blockbuster franchises—from Nintendo's animated adaptations to long-running detective mysteries and supernatural horror tales.
