With Chris Pratt in the leading positions of chart-topping movies, as Star Lord in Guardians and the voice of Mario, debates have ensued about how much of the draw is star power versus brand power. Families with younger children have had almost no other options at the theatres since Mario entered the picture, resulting in repeat viewings and its continued dominance at the box office, where it is still playing in 3,800 locations domestically. Second place went to The Super Mario Bros Movie with US$13 million in its sixth weekend, bringing its domestic grosses just shy of US$536 million. Including US$91.9 million from international showings, Vol 3 has already grossed over $528.8 million worldwide. As the smallest Marvel drop since the beginning of the pandemic, it also answers the “superhero fatigue” question that some floated last weekend. That’s a slim 49 per cent drop from its opening, which is rare for big superhero films that tend to be front-loaded and have big second weekend drops of 60 per cent or more.

In its second weekend, Guardians Of The Galaxy Vol 3 added US$60.5 million (S$81 million) from North American theatres, according to studio estimates on Sunday (May 14). The two top spots were once again claimed by Marvel and Mario, however.
