Mandalorian Movie Stumbles in Star Wars Preview Debut
23 May
Summary
- Movie recorded the lowest Star Wars previews under Disney.
- Thursday preview collection was around $12 million.
- The film received an A- CinemaScore, a strong rating.
The recent theatrical release of Star Wars: The Mandalorian and Grogu has debuted with lower-than-expected Thursday preview collections. The film reportedly earned approximately $12 million in North America on Thursday. This figure represents the lowest preview revenue for a Star Wars film distributed by Disney, falling short of 'Solo: A Star Wars Story's' $14.1 million.
Despite this opening performance, the movie is poised to perform well over its opening weekend, with industry experts projecting earnings between $75 million and $85 million domestically. This projection could see the film claim the top spot at the North American box office. Furthermore, 'The Mandalorian and Grogu' has achieved a notable A- rating on CinemaScore, a significant accomplishment for a PG-13 film and on par with previous Star Wars installments.
The film, released on May 22, follows the beloved bounty hunter Din Djarin and his apprentice, Grogu, on a new adventure. Its performance is being closely watched to see if it can defy initial box office projections and secure a strong position in the cinematic landscape.
