Star Wars: The Mandalorian and Grogu\u2019s box office woes are continuing after the film dives another 61% in business and drops out of the domestic top five in its third weekend in theaters.<\/p>\n
Directed by Jon Favreau, the feature film continuation of the hit Disney+ TV series had a soft opening at the box office over the four-day Memorial Day weekend May 22-25, debuting with the lowest opening<\/a> of any Disney-backed Star Wars movie since the release of the blockbuster first chapter of the sequel trilogy, Star Wars: Episode VII \u2013 The Force Awakens in 2015.<\/p>\n Forbes\u2018Michael\u2019 Arrives On Streaming This Week As Michael Jackson Movie Eyes Music Biopic RecordBy Tim Lammers<\/a><\/p>\n As such, The Mandalorian and Grogu earned $98 million domestically over Memorial Day weekend, falling $5 million short of the $103 million Solo: A Star Wars Story earned over the same four-day weekend period eight years ago. In the film\u2019s second weekend, The Mandalorian and Grogu suffered a catastrophic drop of 69% in business<\/a> from its opening three-day frame.<\/p>\n Unfortunately for Disney, things are going from bad to worse in the Mando and Grogu movie\u2019s third weekend in theaters. Deadline<\/a> projects that the film is heading for a $9.5 million take in its third weekend frame, a 61% drop in business from its disastrous second weekend dive for a sixth place finish at this weekend\u2019s domestic box office.<\/p>\n Should the projection hold, it will boost The Mandalorian and Grogu\u2019s running domestic tally to $155.3 million. <\/p>\n ForbesWhy He-Man\u2019s History Won\u2019t Help \u2018Masters Of The Universe\u2019 Opening WeekendBy Tim Lammers<\/a><\/p>\n The latest Star Wars feature film \u2014 starring Pedro Pascal as the Mandalorian and Sigourney Weaver as a new character, Col. Ward \u2014 had a production budget of $165 million, with a global marketing budget of \u201cat least $100 million,\u201d according to The Hollywood Reporter<\/a>.<\/p>\n Inde Navarrette and Michael Johnston in “Obsession.”<\/p>\n Focus FeaturesThree YouTube Films Keep \u2018The Mandalorian And Grogu\u2019 Out Of The Box Office Top 5<\/p>\n Two new movies \u2014 the Wayans Bros.\u2019 Scary Movie (from Paramount Pictures) and director Travis Knight\u2019s He-Man movie Masters of the Universe (from Amazon MGM Studios) \u2014 are projected by Deadline to finish at No. 1 and No. 2 at the box office this week with domestic takes of $56 million and $30.1 million, respectively.<\/p>\n However, the biggest achievements, once again, belong to YouTube directors Kane Parsons and Curry Barker, whose indie horror features Backrooms and Obsession continue to bring in big money in North American theaters.<\/p>\n Forbes\u2018Supergirl\u2019 Tracking To Open At $55 Million, Less Than Half Of \u2018Superman\u2019s\u2019 First WeekendBy Tim Lammers<\/a><\/p>\n Deadline is projecting that A24\u2019s Backrooms will earn $25.7 million to up its domestic tally to $134.8 million. Ironically, Backrooms is suffering nearly the same massive drop in its second frame<\/a> at the box office (68%) that The Mandalorian and Grogu did (69%), but A24 can rest easy knowing its film was produced for $10 million before marketing.<\/p>\n Focus Features\u2019 Obsession, on the other hand, continues to be the biggest success story of the year in the movie business. The $750,000 Obsession undoubtedly has the best weekend-to-weekend hold of any movie released during the summer movie season with a 39% leap<\/a> in business from its first to second-weekend frame, which was followed by a 14% jump in business from its second to third weekends.<\/p>\n Now, Deadline projects Obsession will fall a mere 9% from its weekend three business to earn $24.8 million in its fourth weekend frame. Should the projection hold, Obsession\u2019s domestic earnings will shoot up to $151.3 million by Friday.<\/p>\n Forbes\u2018Backrooms\u2019 Projected To Drop 68% In Business At Weekend 2 Box OfficeBy Tim Lammers<\/a><\/p>\n As if the one-two punches from Parsons and Barker weren\u2019t enough to damage The Mandalorian and Grogu, a third YouTube filmmaker, Gooseworx, delivered another massive blow to Star Wars this weekend with The Amazing Digital Circus: The Last Act, which is being distributed in theaters by Fathom Events.<\/p>\n The feature film version of Episodes 8 and 9 of the viral YouTube viral series, The Amazing Digital Circus: The Last Act, is projected by Deadline to earn $22.1 million from 2,221 North American theaters in its debut.<\/p>\n Note: This box office report will be updated throughout the weekend with the most current numbers available. The final numbers for this weekend\u2019s box office will be released on Monday.<\/p>\n More From ForbesForbesWhy \u2018Masters Of The Universe\u2019 Streaming Release Will Likely Echo \u2018Project Hail Mary\u2019By Tim Lammers<\/a>Forbes\u2018Obsession\u2019 Streaming Date Skipped In Favor Of Longer Theatrical-To-PVOD WindowBy Tim Lammers<\/a>Forbes\u2018Backrooms\u2019 Streaming: Why Film\u2019s Big Box Office Will Likely Change A24\u2019s PVOD StrategyBy Tim Lammers<\/a>Forbes\u2018Obsession\u2019 Star Inde Navarrette Pinpoints Where We\u2019ll See Nikki NextBy Tim Lammers<\/a>Forbes\u2018Obsession\u2019 Star Inde Navarrette Discusses Her Spellbinding Performance In Hit Horror ThrillerBy Tim Lammers<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Pedro Pascal in “The Mandalorian and Grogu.” Disney+\/Lucasfilm Ltd.
