Opening excerpt (first ~120 words) tap to expand
We dipped into it on Friday, now it’s time to look at The Mandalorian and Grogu with some slightly more complete numbers. Per Variety, the film made an estimated worldwide box office of $163 million. The majority of that came from domestic markets, overcoming what seemed like a weak debut when compared to 2018’s Solo. As a more family-friendly entry the series has seen in quite a while, it looks to be doing fine (relative to the $165 million it cost to make), while still not being a record breaker like other prior Star Wars…
Excerpt limited to ~120 words for fair-use compliance. The full article is at Gizmodo.
