HOLLYWOOD - Universal’s animated sequel “The Super Mario Galaxy Movie” remains No. 1 at the domestic box office.

“There is something for every taste and every demographic at the multiplex,” notes Comscore’s head of marketplace trends Paul Dergarabedian.

Attendance in April should remain strong with “The Mummy” reboot and “Michael” biopic on schedule.

“We want to see the box office back at pre-pandemic levels, and April should come close,” says David A. Gross, who publishes the box office newsletter FranchiseRe. He noted the month is just 6% below the pre-pandemic average. “Overall, the current trend at the box office is positive.”
