Why did the Mandalorian and Grogu struggle at the box office?
Directed by series creator Jon Favreau and starring Pedro Pascal as Din Djarin, the movie opened May 22 and took in about $98 million domestically over the Memorial Day weekend from roughly 4,300 theaters. That marked the weakest opening for a Star Wars film under Disney ownership, falling short of Solo: A Star Wars Story’s 2018 Memorial Day haul.
Business cooled quickly after that. Ticket sales plunged about 70% in the second weekend. By mid-July, totals sat near $177.4 million domestically and $164.8 million internationally, for a global gross of about $342.2 million against a $165 million production budget before marketing. IGN noted the film had essentially broken even while still finishing as the lowest-grossing live-action Star Wars title.
Critics were mixed as well. The film held a 60% Rotten Tomatoes critics score, just enough for Certified Fresh, while IGN scored it 5/10.
When will the Mandalorian and Grogu arrive on Disney+ and disc?
Disney followed its standard roughly 60-day theatrical window before the July 21 PVOD debut. A full physical release—including standard Blu-ray, DVD, and 4K steelbook editions—is scheduled for August 25 and is already available to preorder.
A Disney+ date has not been announced. IGN notes Marvel titles often reach the service in about 90 days, which would point to an early September arrival if Lucasfilm follows a similar path. Until then, renting or buying digitally is the only official way to watch at home.
The PG-13 adventure continues Din Djarin and Grogu’s story after three Disney+ seasons, sending them on a New Republic mission involving Rotta the Hutt and an Imperial warlord—now ready for living-room screens after a rocky theatrical stretch.
