Index
The film made a noteworthy debut at the global box office, drawing dedicated Star Wars fans and families eager to see the Mandalorian and Grogu dynamic on the big screen after seven years without a new theatrical entry in the franchise. In the United States and Canada, it opened to $33 million on Friday, building to a robust three-day weekend of $82 million and a four-day Memorial Day total of $102 million domestically.
Internationally, it added approximately $63 million, resulting in a worldwide opening of $165 million. This performance positioned it as the top film of the weekend, benefiting from premium formats like IMAX and Dolby, while underscoring the enduring appeal of the characters despite marking the lowest opening for a Disney-era Star Wars title. In India, the reception was more modest, with the film collecting around ₹1 crore on its opening day and approximately ₹3.4 crore over the initial three days, reflecting a subdued start in a market that has historically shown strong interest in major Hollywood blockbusters but responded cautiously to this particular Star Wars continuation.
Nonetheless, the worldwide figures highlight solid international interest outside North America, driven by the universal charm of Grogu and the action-packed narrative. The opening underscores how the film has reignited theatrical interest in the galaxy far, far away through its accessible storytelling and visual spectacle, setting a foundation for sustained performance as word-of-mouth spreads among audiences.

Our Review
Star Wars: The Mandalorian and Grogu is everything fans hoped for and more — a fun, emotional and action-packed return to the big screen for the galaxy’s most beloved bounty hunter and his tiny green apprentice. Pedro Pascal brings his signature quiet strength back as Din Djarin, now working with the New Republic while raising Grogu.
The story sends them on a high-stakes mission to rescue Rotta the Hutt (voiced perfectly by Jeremy Allen White) and take down lingering Imperial threats, with Sigourney Weaver delivering a strong performance as Colonel Ward. The film balances thrilling lightsaber battles, clever bounty-hunter tactics and plenty of heartwarming moments between Mando and Grogu that will melt even the toughest fans. The visual effects are top-class, especially in IMAX, and Ludwig Göransson’s score feels both epic and intimate at the same time.
What makes this film special is how it feels like a natural extension of the series while still working perfectly as a standalone theatrical event. Director Jon Favreau knows these characters inside out and gives audiences the spectacle they have been missing since the last Star Wars movie in theatres. It is not just non-stop action — the story quietly explores themes of family, duty and finding your place in a changing galaxy.
Compared to recent Star Wars entries, this one stands tall because it focuses on the personal bond between Mando and Grogu rather than galaxy-spanning politics. In India, families are loving the wholesome adventure and the cute Grogu scenes that have kids cheering in the aisles.
As of today, with only the opening day figures available, the film has started with a massive $52 million in the US, which is an outstanding number that shows the huge demand for Star Wars on the big screen. Positive audience reactions and strong word-of-mouth suggest it will keep growing nicely through the weekend and beyond.
Looking ahead, Star Wars: The Mandalorian and Grogu has all the makings of a long-running theatrical success. With excellent fan scores and broad family appeal, it is positioned to become one of the top grossers of the year and prove that well-made Star Wars stories still draw huge crowds to theatres. It does not rely on nostalgia alone — the new mission feels fresh while giving longtime viewers plenty of Easter eggs and satisfying payoffs.
Parents will appreciate the PG-13 tone that keeps things exciting without being too dark for kids, and the entire experience feels like a complete theatrical event worth the ticket price. Pedro Pascal anchors the film with his usual charisma, while Grogu continues to steal every scene he is in. In a crowded 2026 summer, this one stands out as the must-watch event movie that reminds us why Star Wars remains a global phenomenon.
If you grew up loving the original trilogy or fell in love with the series on Disney+, this is the perfect big-screen treat for the whole family. The film leaves the door wide open for more adventures, and audiences are already excited for what comes next.
