Mandalorian and Grogu might surpass projections. . .a little

It has an outside shot at a bigger 4-day opening than Solo. Needs a big Monday
It was projected to hit $81 million for the 3-day. . .$97 million for the 4-day
It is now projected to hit $82 million for the 3-day and $98 million for the 4-day
Solo hit $101 million on it's 4-day run
LINK
The projections for WW was $160-169. They are saying this could hit $69 million Internationally, putting the total in the top part of that projection.
Not a bad showing, all told. Not the gangbusters that I was hoping the IP would receive. . .but definitely not a flop, either

"Solo's" Memorial Day weekend gross was $103 million, with "Mandalorian" expected to make $102 million this year. That's even worse; adjusted for inflation, $103 million today is $139 million. $37 million behind over the long weekend.

Was hoping it could get to 100 mil, but looks like it might come up short

Inflation got really out of control for a bit there

And Disney has reportedly played games with "production budget" - reporting to California the widely quoted $165m, but omitting big items like the salaries of Pascal, Weaver and Favreau.
And if that budget is really over $200m along with some estimates the marketing could be much higher than $100m, then the profit point might be higher.
Even if we assume the break even point is lower - say $450m, Solo didn't make that and this one is worse. And inflation means much fewer tickets sold to boot.

Solo lost money.

LOL. Disney opens a Star Wars movie on Memorial Day weekend with no competition and will lose money. And I am sure they lied about their costs too. This will be a nice treat for those w/ Disney+ who managed to make it through S. 3.

The only saving grace for this is that Grogu is one of the very few "Disney" star wars products that moves toys and merch. So, if they get close to "even" on the film, they might consider it a win in the secondary market.
It will also generate some ad revenue on streaming.

If true, get ready for 5 more.

It is; I agree with others that part of the issue is that it came at a bad time with little good will.
The villain was also not terribly interesting.
The train heist portion is great though... hard to go wrong with a good train heist.

Very good point.
People tend to forget that, for all the money the movies made, it was small potatoes compared to toys and other merch.
If Grogu is that marketable, it could easily be worth it to get his likeness out there to a larger audience than the streaming service could pull off.

Outside of Andor and Rogue One it was the best Disney Star Wars production imo.

It opened up some interesting story threads. Had the 2nd movie done anything other than amputate and cauterize them, we would remember TFA much differently.

I am wondering if disney is testing releasing some of their TV series as “movies” first.
this is pretty common in Anime.

The Cope is strong with this movie. It’s got the same shills spouting the same talking points from the MCU in early of last year. Coincidentally this movie is tracking like the early MCU movies last year.

They thought they needed to get something out there for the 40 and they don’t have anything so they went with their most popular D+ property and made it as bland as they could so it wouldn’t do further damage to DSW.
