Mandalorian & Grogu’s Big Box Office Weekend: Is It A Win Or… Huh?
- What did Mando and Grogu rake in?
- How does it compare to an old Star Wars movie?
- What’s the real vibe check?
- Our thoughts on what these numbers mean!
You won’t believe the buzz around ‘Star Wars: The Mandalorian & Grogu’ this past weekend!
Finally, some official numbers are out. The movie opened to a whopping $163 million worldwide. That’s a lot of credits! And here in the U.S., it pulled in $100 million over four days. Big money, right?
But wait a minute. We’re getting some serious déjà vu. Remember 2018’s ‘Solo: A Star Wars Story’? It also had a four-day U.S. opening around $103 million and $153 million worldwide. We kinda bashed that one back then, thinking it was a bit low for Star Wars. So, what does this even mean for our favorite bounty hunter and his little green buddy?
It feels a little… familiar. Like seeing a new coat of paint on an old speeder. The visual style of The Mandalorian films, with all its dusty planets and cool ships, always looks amazing on the big screen. The aesthetic is pure Star Wars magic, even if the numbers are giving us flashbacks.
We were all excited to see Grogu leap back into action. Such a cute little guy! But comparing these numbers to Solo? It’s making us scratch our heads. Is this good? Not so good? It’s a complicated picture.
Our Take
Honestly, these numbers for ‘The Mandalorian & Grogu’ feel a bit… okay. Not jaw-dropping. Not a disaster either. They’re kind of just… there. Like when you order a fancy meal and it’s good, but not *amazing*. Star Wars has such a huge fan base, you’d expect a bigger bang. The fact that it’s so close to Solo’s opening, which was considered a miss, tells us that maybe Disney’s Star Wars movies are still finding their footing. It’s not a lightsaber-swinging triumph, but it’s not a full-on crash landing either. We’ll be watching closely to see how it holds up!
