Star Wars’ Next Movie Is Going to Break a Disappointing Record for Disney After 11 Years (But There’s Some Hope)

Box Office Theory has made an early prediction for the opening weekend of The Mandalorian and Grogu. They forecast around $71 million in ticket sales, which would be the lowest opening for any Star Wars film released by Disney – even less than the $84.4 million earned by Solo: A Star Wars Story, a film considered a box office failure. While they believe Pedro Pascal and Grogu will attract audiences, and the use of practical effects is a plus, they point out that movies and franchises that started on streaming services haven’t always performed well in theaters, as seen with some Marvel and Pixar films.
