The Mandalorian and Grogu hits PVOD July 21 after $342M global box office

Star Wars: The Mandalorian and Grogu, a spinoff movie based on the Disney+ TV series starring Pedro Pascal, arrives on digital streaming this week after a tumultuous run in theaters worldwide.

Directed by The Mandalorian series creator Jon Favreau, the film is set after the events of the first three seasons of the series, which premiered on Disney+ in 2019, 2020, and 2023.

Box Office Performance

Released in theaters on May 22, The Mandalorian and Grogu stars Pascal as Din Djarin/The Mandalorian. In the film, Mando, along with his Baby Yoda-like sidekick, is recruited by Rebel Alliance Colonel Ward (Sigourney Weaver) and the New Republic to apprehend an Imperial warlord and rescue Rotta the Hutt (voice of Jeremy Allen White), the long-lost son of gangster Jabba the Hutt.

The film stumbled out of the gate at the box office, earning $98 million domestically from 4,300 North American theaters in its four-day Memorial Day weekend debut (May 22–25). This gave The Mandalorian and Grogu the distinction of being the lowest opening for a Star Wars film under Disney ownership. Previously, Solo: A Star Wars Story earned $103 million domestically in the same Memorial Day weekend frame in 2018.

Box office performance worsened after the opening weekend, with the film dropping a catastrophic 70% in domestic ticket sales in its second weekend. As of Friday, The Mandalorian and Grogu has earned:

• Domestic: $177.4 million
• International: $164.8 million
• Global total: $342.2 million

According to The Hollywood Reporter, the film had a production budget of $165 million before marketing costs. The film is close to wrapping up its domestic box office run, entering its ninth week of release on Friday in only 90 theaters nationwide.
