This Memorial Day holiday weekend was a big test for the future of the ‘Star Wars’ franchise on the big screen. And while ‘The Mandalorian and Grogu’ couldn’t quite match the heights of its Disney/Lucasfilm stablemates, it did earn a decent amount, launching top of the box office with an impressive $82 million domestically (though official final figures won’t arrive until tomorrow given the four-day time scale.)
Globally, the new movie made $165 million, and scored solid responses from audience polling.
