Coming off three seasons of a smash-hit TV series, The Mandalorian, Din Djarin’s story has spilled over to the big screen. Lucasfilm and Jon Favreau delivered Star Wars: The Mandalorian and Grogu on May 22, giving fans the franchise’s first theatrically-released film since Star Wars: Episode IX – The Rise of Skywalker broke $1 billion at the box office in 2019. With Michael, The Devil Wears Prada 2 and Mortal Kombat II all several weeks into their respective runs, were Disney and Lucasfilm able to take advantage of the extended runway?
Here is a breakdown of how Star Wars: The Mandalorian and Grogu performed at the box office this past weekend:
Star Wars: The Mandalorian and Grogu Box Office
Star Wars: The Mandalorian and Grogu made $81.7 million at the box office between May 22 and May 24. Over the four-day holiday weekend, it wound up making $98.1 million. That pales in comparison to Disney’s Memorial Day tentpole in 2025, the live-action Lilo & Stitch remake, which had made $182.6 million in North America alone through its opening Monday. Star Wars: The Mandalorian and Grogu now owns the 12th-largest Memorial Day opening weekend of all time, per Box Office Mojo. That slots it right above The Lost World: Jurassic Park.
This also marks the lowest three-day opening weekend for a live-action Star Wars film since Attack of the Clones opened to $80.0 million in 2002. Even Solo: A Star Wars Story made $84.4 million over the three-day and $103.0 million over the four-day when it opened on Memorial Day weekend back in 2018. The four other Star Wars movies that have come out since Disney acquired the franchise in 2012 (Episode VII – The Force Awakens, Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, Episode VIII – The Last Jedi and Episode IX – The Rise of Skywalker) opened to $248.0 million, $155.1 million, $220.0 million and $177.4 million domestically, respectively. Those four movies all opened in mid-December.
According to Deadline and Variety, Star Wars: The Mandalorian and Grogu made $12.0 million in Thursday night previews on May 21. That cash is counted as part of the film’s $33.0 million Friday gross. Star Wars: The Mandalorian and Grogu now owns the No. 3 domestic opening weekend of 2026 so far, trailing only The Super Mario Galaxy Movie and Michael.
Looking beyond the United States and Canada, Star Wars: The Mandalorian and Grogu has reeled in an additional $63.0 million overseas. In total, the film grossed $144.0 million worldwide over its traditional three-day opening weekend. That falls just short of Solo: A Star Wars Story‘s $147.5 million global opening and way behind Rogue One at $290.5 million, The Rise of Skywalker at $376.2 million, The Last Jedi at $450.8 million and The Force Awakens at $529.0 million. Rogue One, The Last Jedi and The Rise of Skywalker all went on to gross over $1 billion, while The Force Awakens cracked $2 billion. Solo: A Star Wars Story, on the other hand, plateaued at $392.9 million.
It is worth noting that Star Wars: The Mandalorian and Grogu has a reported net budget of about $166 million, whereas Solo: A Star Wars Story cost $275 million – the same price tag as The Rise of Skywalker. Going by the modern rule of thumb for breaking even theatrically – based on marketing costs, the share of grosses that go back to the theaters themselves, certain international splits and more – Star Wars: The Mandalorian and Grogu could be profitable for Disney if it reaches $415 million globally.
