The release of "The Mandalorian and Grogu" has been a significant event at the box office, opening to $100 million globally. This figure, while substantial, is seen as on par with previous Star Wars spin-offs like "Solo: A Star Wars Story." Analysts are closely watching the film's second-weekend performance to gauge its broader appeal beyond the core Star Wars fanbase.
In contrast, the horror film "Obsession" has delivered an unexpected success story. Its ticket sales saw a remarkable 30% increase in its second weekend compared to its opening frame. This surge, attributed to the director's ability to engage his online audience and positive critical reception, is unprecedented for a horror movie, which typically experiences significant drops and mixed reviews.
