Disney's 'Star Wars: The Mandalorian and Grogu' box office preview - CNBC
Still from "Star Wars: The Mandalorian and Grogu.""Star Wars" returns to the big screen for the first time in seven years this weekend, riding the contrails of a Mandalorian's jetpack. Disney's "Star Wars: The Mandalorian and Grogu" tallied $12 million in Thursday night preview sales, the lowest collection of advanced tickets in the franchise's history, according to data from Comscore. "Solo: A Star Wars Story" was the previous low bar with $14.1 million in preshow tickets back in 2018.Box office analysts expect the film based on the hit Disney+ show "The Mandalorian" to generate around $80 million for its three-day opening weekend and around $95 million for the four-day Memorial Day holiday weekend. Some less conservative experts have estimated the three-day haul could be $95 million and the holiday weekend could draw $115 million.That would be one of the smallest openings of a "Star Wars film in modern cinematic history. "Solo" captured $84.4 million during its opening eight years ago. Since 2015, only "Solo" has opened to less than $100 million domestically, Comscore data show."The Mandalorian and Grogu" will likely benefit from the popularity of the television show, the long Memorial Day weekend and limited competition from new titles, especially on premium large format screens. It will also act as a stress test for future "Star Wars" theatrical releases amid a lackluster cinema run for "Star Wars" and Marvel, the tentpole franchises that helped Disney dominate the global box office in the 2010s. The studio has "Starfighter" arriving in cinemas in 2027 starring Ryan Gosling and directed by Shawn Levy.New "Star Wars" titles have been absent from cinemas since 2019's "The Rise of Skywalker." The final film in the Skywalker Saga and third film in what has become known as the sequel trilogy generated more than $1 billion, but was widely panned by critics and fans. Disney and its Lucasfilm studio paused theatrical productions in favor of reestablishing the franchise on streaming service Disney+."The Mandalorian," which premiered just a month before "The Rise of Skywalker," was a runaway hit for the company and inspired a number of live-action Star Wars projects to get a series run instead of a theatrical one. These include "Andor," "Obi-Wan Kenobi," "Ahsoka," "Skeleton Crew," "The Acolyte" and "The Book of Boba Fett."Lucasfilm tapped director Jon Favreau, who worked alongside the newly minted head of the studio Dave Filoni to bring "The Mandalorian" to Disn...
'Mandalorian and Grogu' Scores $12M in Box Office Previews
The Force is officially back on the big screen As expected, Lucasfilm’s The Mandalorian & Grogu earned $12 million in previews when landing in select theaters across America at 2 p.m. local time on Thursday. The bigger headline is its audience score has already rocketed to 88 percent on Rotten Tomatoes. The tentpole — which marks the first Star Wars film to play in theaters in seven years — continues the story of The Mandalorian, Jon Favreau’s series that helped launch Disney+ and introduced the world to Baby Yoda (Grogu) just as the pandemic struck. Pre-release tracking services show The Mandalorian and Grogu opening to roughly $82 million at the domestic box office for the four days, while some exhibitors see it coming in as high as $95 million to $100 million. While the preview number is the lowest of any Star Wars title released by Disney since the company paid $4.05 billion to buy Lucasfilm in 2012, it’s not a huge surprise since the movie is tracking strongest with kids and older moviegoers. In 2018, Solo: A Star Wars Story earned $14.1 million in previews on its way to a four-day opening of $103 million (that movie had the disadvantage of being dissed by both critics and audiences). Solo marked a low point for the franchise in topping out at less than $400 million globally. Mandalorian‘s preview gross was on par with recent 2026 box office hits Michael ($12.6 million), Avatar: Fire and Ash ($12 million) and Project Hail Mail ($12 million). Last year, Memorial Day weekend tentpole Mission: Impossible — The Final Reckoning grossed $8 million in previews on its way to a four day opening of $79 million. Globally, Disney insiders expect Mandalorian and Grogu to earn at least $160 million. The movie sees Pedro Pascal return as Mandalorian, a bounty hunter also known as Din Djarin, who is charged with protecting Grogu. Favreau directed from a script he wrote with Noah Kloor and Dave Filoni, who earlier this year was upped to oversee the creative direction of Lucasfilm as president and chief creative officer following Kathleen Kennedy’s departure (he was a George Lucas protégé). In the film, the Mandalorian is tasked by Sigourney Weaver’s Colonel Ward of the New Republic to rescue Rotta the Hutt, voiced by Jeremy Allen White. Martin Scorsese also voices a memorable, four-armed food stand chef.
