The Mandalorian & Grogu is tracking for Memorial Day weekend earnings between $74 million and $90 million, but it has already made $82 million and is predicted to reach $102 million by the end of Monday. It is still expected to be the lowest-performing Star Wars movie, with Solo: A Star Wars Story earning about $1 million more over the same timeframe in 2018, before inflation adjustments. Audience scores are higher than Solo’s, suggesting the film could continue to perform. Some viewers may delay watching until The Mandalorian and Grogu return to Disney+ after the theatrical run. The film’s appeal is also framed around seeing Rotta the Hutt on the big screen.
"They said The Mandalorian & Grogu would be the lowest-grossing Star Wars movie on its opening. And they were right, but only barely. The TV-to-film play by Disney was tracking to take in between $74 million and $90 million over Memorial Day weekend. Instead the film has already made $82 million and is predicted to hit $102 million by the end of Monday."
"That still makes it the lowest-performing Star Wars movie, with Solo: A Star Wars Story bringing $1 million more over the same timeframe, Memorial Day weekend 2018. And that's before adjusting for inflation. Keeping on the optimistic side, the audience score for M&G are better than S:ASWS, indicating the movie might still have legs."
"Then again, many people may just be waiting for Mando and the baby to go home to Disney+ before checking them out. But don't Rotta the Hutt's abs deserve to be seen on the big screen? A space slug with abs, the human mind cannot comprehend such sights."
