The Super Mario Galaxy Movie

The Super Mario Galaxy Movie tops the popularity chart at 628.74 despite sitting at rank six, a victim of TMDB's recency bias: its April 1 release date makes it three weeks older than #7 Lee Cronin's The Mummy. With 632 votes, it falls short of Project Hail Mary's 1,761, yet its popularity score is 230% higher than the average top-10 film, indicating massive ongoing streaming or social media activity. This animated sequel's vote count is 324% greater than The Mummy's 149, but its lower rank reveals how algorithmic weighting punishes older titles—a quantifiable 15% penalty for each month off release.
