Star Wars: The Mandalorian and Grogu wins the Holiday Weekend Box Office

Star Wars: The Mandalorian and Grogu

It should be no surprise, Star Wars: The Mandalorian and Grogu took the weekend box office with an estimated $81.96 million. It is expected to gross $102 million for the holiday weekend. Internationally, the movie grossed $63 million for a worldwide gross of $165 million. While that might not sound great, the film had a rather tight budget of around $165 million. Usually, films need to double their budget to be profitable, so if the film can get over $330 million it should be doing well. If it crossed $400 million or more, it’s a good return and this doesn’t count all of the tie-in money flowing in for the film. That gross is a bit under Solo: A Star Wars Story‘s $84.4 million opening in 2018, also the holiday weekend. It went on to gross $392.9 million worldwide.

Obsession moved up to second place from third with $22.4 million, a 30.3% increase. It has grossed domestically $58.6 million so far. It grossed around $16.2 million internationally over the week and now that stands at $21.2 million. Worldwide, the movie has grossed $79.8 million.

Michael dipped to third place with $20 million. Domestically, it has grossed $319.9 million after about a month. Internationally, the movie added $47 million over the week and that’s not $468.1 million. Worldwide, the movie has grossed a little over $788 million, so now it’s wait and see if the film can slide across the billion mark.

The Devil Wears Prada 2 came in fourth place after being in second last week. It added $12.6 million to its domestic gross which is now $200 million. Over the week, it grossed $37.7 million at the international box office which is now $408 million. Worldwide, the movie has grossed $608 million.

Rounding out the top five was The Sheep Detective which added just under $9 million to its domestic total which is now $46.9 million. Over the week, it grossed $9.7 million to bring that total to $38.7 million. Worldwide, the movie has grossed $85.6 million.
