The Super Mario Galaxy Movie bliver 2026's første milliard-dollar hit
The Super Mario Galaxy Movie fik ikke helt samme modtagelse som sin forgænger, hverken hvad angår anmeldelser eller billetsalg. Men den har været alt andet end en katastrofe, tværtimod, da den længe har været den klart mest indtjenende film i 2026, og den har nu passeret en vigtig milepæl.
Deadline rapporterer, at filmen efter 10 uger har indtjent over 1 milliard dollars i de globale biografer. Det er betydeligt langsommere end forgængeren, som opnåede samme bedrift på 26 dage. Til sammenligning indtjente The Super Mario Bros. Movie i alt 1,36 milliarder dollars i løbet af sin spilletid. Vi ved ikke, hvor The Super Mario Galaxy Movie ender, men det vokser nu meget langsomt fra uge til uge, så det er usandsynligt, at det når et tal, der overstiger 1 milliard dollars.

With the Scots and Norway both based in North Carolina, a game was scheduled to afford minutes to players requiring them. Scotland postponed the match on Saturday, with the injury sustained by Billy Gilmour during the recent friendly against Curaçao – which put him out of the World Cup – apparently uppermost in Clarke’s thoughts.

Talks with potential investors ‘have fallen away’
Durham, the Women’s Super League 2 side, have issued an urgent plea for funding and warned that they will have to “cease operations” if they cannot find fresh investment within the next 21 days.
The independently run club, who are not affiliated to a professional men’s side, have been competing in the second tier of the English women’s football pyramid for 12 years, but say their owners can “no longer keep pace” with the women’s game’s development.
