Mandalorian and Grogu Return With $165M Global Opening

The Mandalorian and Grogu’s new film kicked off over Memorial Day with about $82 million domestic in its opening weekend and an estimated $102 million by Monday, plus $64 million from international markets for a $165 million four-day global start. While the payday is strong, it also marks Star Wars’ weakest opening since Disney acquired the franchise in 2012, prompting analysts to watch the second weekend to see if the film can broaden beyond core fans and lure family audiences.
