‘Mandalorian and Grogu’ Tops Charts and ‘Obsession’ Grows in Second Weekend
Obsession is on track for $22 million in its second weekend, Variety said, after opening with a little over $17 million.
- On Sunday, Disney's 'Star Wars: The Mandalorian and Grogu' debuted with $82 million from 4,300 theaters, while horror film 'Obsession' defied standard trends to gross $22 million in its rare second-weekend gain.
- Focus Features fueled 'Obsession's' success through cryptic marketing and social media buzz, driving an astonishing 30% uptick in second-weekend ticket sales earning $22.4 million from 2,655 theaters.
- Audiences embraced 'Obsession' with a 94% Rotten Tomatoes score and A- CinemaScore, while Comscore's Paul Dergarabedian noted "exceptionally strong word-of-mouth" among younger viewers, with 75% of audiences between 18 and 25 years old.
- Memorial Day weekend totals for 'The Mandalorian and Grogu' reached $102 million over four days, though the figure marks a slow start compared to previous Disney-era Star Wars releases.
- Industry analysts are watching whether big-screen Star Wars interest has cooled, with next year's 'Star Wars: Starfighter', starring Ryan Gosling, expected to provide a definitive answer about the franchise's future.
