Worldwide Collection
Globally, The Mandalorian And Grogu earned around $165 million during its opening weekend. This includes $102 million from the domestic US market and $63 million from overseas territories.
Despite the strong worldwide opening, reports stated that the film recorded the lowest opening weekend for a Star Wars theatrical release under Disney, falling behind Solo: A Star Wars Story.
However, the film's lower production budget of around $165 million could help it recover costs during its theatrical run.
