Latest ‘Star Wars’ Film ‘Mandalorian’ Debuts at $102 Million
The Disney release met studio expectations and drew an A- from CinemaScore, with a $165 million global holiday weekend haul, Comscore said.
- Over the Memorial Day weekend, 'The Mandalorian and Grogu' earned $102 million in the U.S. and Canada, marking the first Star Wars theatrical release in seven years.
- Lucasfilm halted theatrical releases after 2019's 'The Rise of Skywalker,' prompting the studio to adapt the popular Disney+ series starring Pedro Pascal as bounty hunter Din Djarin.
- Directed by Jon Favreau, the film earned a 62% critics' approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes, though audiences polled by CinemaScore awarded it an A- grade.
- Facing little competition from rival studios, The Burbank entertainment giant leveraged the release to boost Disney+ streaming, gaming collaborations, and its theme park attractions.
- Next year, 'Star Wars: Starfighter' starring Ryan Gosling will test the franchise's health with an all-new adventure extending the timeline beyond 'The Rise of Skywalker.
