2 Jon Rahm 1,478,958 This Spanish golfer won the Masters Tournament and returned to the top of the Official World Golf Ranking.
3 The Super Mario Bros. Movie 1,273,498 Oh yeah, Mario time! Nintendo's mascot had a second chance in theaters 30 years after one disastrous live-action adaptation with a cartoon that's fun for both children and those whose fandom dates back to when games where in cartridges. Reviewers were not as enamoured given the movie's plot is as basic as most Super Mario games (maybe a sequel adapting one of the RPGs can improve on that? and let's just say I'd have liked the post-credits scene better if it was a character that wasn't shown in a previous scene!). But audiences love Mario and Luigi so much the movie made half a billion in just two weeks, already becoming the highest-grossing video game movie ever.

18 Joe Alwyn 422,311
19 14th Dalai Lama 419,768 Tenzin Gyatso is the one currently known as #11. For a spiritual leader he's quite informal, as this video with John Oliver demonstrates, but asking for a child to kiss him and suck his tongue is too much.
