The Mandalorian and Grogu Knocked to Third at the Box Office With 69% in Weekend 2 Drop as the Star Wars Spin-Off Trails Behind New Horror Movies

The Disney+ spin-off earned $25 million in weekend two as horror films Backrooms and Obsession passed it at the domestic box office.

  • The Mandalorian and Grogu suffered a 69% box office drop in its second weekend, earning just $25 million from 4,300 locations after a $102 million debut.
  • Nearly seven years have passed since moviegoers experienced a Star Wars adventure on the big screen, with The Rise of Skywalker marking the franchise's last theatrical release.
  • The domestic box office total reached $137 million, while international earnings added $109 million for a $246 million global haul against the film's $165 million budget.
  • Backrooms and Obsession, two low-budget horror titles, pushed the feature into third place domestically, signaling unexpected audience preference for smaller productions over the Star Wars spin-off.
  • Directed by Jon Favreau and starring Pedro Pascal, the film drew mixed reception; audiences praised its action sequences and practical effects despite criticism of its story and characters.
