The new Star Wars movie, The Mandalorian and Grogu, has grossed 165 million dollars globally. In the US and Canada alone, it brought in 102 million dollars. This opening weekend performance exceeded expectations. The film follows a bounty hunter and his young companion. It is the latest installment in the popular Star Wars franchise.
Los Angeles: New "Star Wars" film "The Mandalorian and Grogu" is expected to end the U.S. Memorial Day weekend with roughly $165 million in worldwide ticket sales, distributor Walt Disney said on Sunday.
About $102 million of that total will come from the United States and Canada, Disney said. The domestic total exceeds pre-weekend forecasts but is the lowest opening for any "Star Wars" movie released by Disney.
The first "Star Wars" movie in seven years tells the story of a helmeted bounty hunter and his sidekick, nicknamed Baby Yoda by fans. The duo debuted on the small screen in the Disney+ streaming series "The Mandalorian" in 2019.
Disney's lowest-grossing "Star Wars" film, "Solo: A Star Wars Story," brought in $103 million over Memorial Day weekend in 2018 and was considered a flop. The "Grogu" movie, however, had a smaller budget than most other "Star Wars" movies, of about $165 million.
