Every Disney Star Wars Movie, Ranked by How Much Money They Made/Lost (#3 Is Surprising)

For a movie to be considered profitable, it generally needs to earn at least three times its total cost – that’s production expenses plus marketing. For example, if a film costs $100 million to make and earn $300 million worldwide, the theaters would take half ($150 million), leaving $150 million. After subtracting the initial $100 million cost, the studio would profit $50 million. While this is a simplified illustration, it helps explain how movie profits are calculated. Now, let’s look at how profitable the Disney Star Wars films have been, and how The Mandalorian and Grogu will compare. We won’t know the answer to that last question for sure until at least May 2026.
