Disney’s “The Mandalorian and Grogu” ignited to $100 million at the domestic box office over the Memorial Day holiday weekend.
That’s ever-so-slightly behind Sunday’s estimates of $102 million for the four-day frame, which includes $81 million over the traditional weekend. The “Star Wars” spinoff, a continuation of the popular Disney+ streaming series, also collected a softer $63 million from international markets for a global debut of $163 million over the four-day period. “The Mandalorian and Grogu” is significant as the first “Star Wars” movie in seven years — since 2019’s saga-concluding billion-dollar tentpole “The Rise of Skywalker.” As “Star Wars” owner Lucasfilm failed for years to launch a new theatrical film, the company turned its attention to the small screen with Disney+ shows like “The Book of Boba Fett” and “Ahsoka” as well as “Andor” and “Skeleton Crew.”
