The Mandalorian and Grogu tracking for $80M opening

tvApr 30, 202627652

Pre-release tracking projects an $80 million U.S. opening weekend for Jon Favreau's film The Mandalorian and Grogu. Fortnite will host a 10-minute in-game sneak peek on May 19 showing footage from the movie. Hot Toys announced new Mandalorian and Grogu collectible figures as part of the merchandising push. That combination of strong tracking, a high-profile in-game preview, and tie-in merchandise signals Disney is leaning on cross-promotion and collectibles to drive a big opening weekend.

“The Mandalorian and Grogu” is the single worst title for a movie I’ve ever heard, beating “Ballistic: Ecks versus Sever” for the crown. Ungainly on the tongue & nakedly marketing-brained. it gets worse the more you think about it and worse still if you have to say it out loud.

Unironically it would be a better title if it was The Mandalorian and Grogu: A Star Wars Story

Cheer Captain12

The Owls of Ga'Hoole ass title

Plate Stealer11

$2 Billion box office if they just called it "Baby Yoda"

It reminds me of another film

Operation Dumbo Drop is still worse Followed closely by The Englishman Who Went Up a Hill But Came Down a Mountain

mando and the kid much better title

there’s no way I could walk up to the box office and say “one ticket for the mandalorian and grogu please” We need to bring back shame so movies like this won’t make 2 billion dollars

The problem with the Mandalorian and Grogu (besides the name, why even make a Star Wars movie if you’re not going to put STAR WARS in the TITLE) is that to go and see it with my dad, which I’ve done for every other Star Wars movie, I’m going to have to sit him down and make him watch a TV Show…

Just learned that Burger King UK is also doing a Mandalorian and Grogu promo, with perhaps the most distressingly named idea possible

A photo of burger king's star wars "loaded force fries." They are fried covered in a pale green sauce and crispy onion bits.

I like that, with Rebels, Bad Batch, and, chiefly, Mando, Star Wars is exploring what a *good* relationship is like between a parent and their child, in a saga often driven by the drama found in the opposite.

Promoted as a gritty western, the premiere of The Mandalorian surprised us all with the reveal of Grogu, a Force-sensitive alien in need of protection. “Always at its core, Star Wars is about people,” Favreau says, “the archetypes, the mythology, and the family connections. And what we've settled into here, and I don't think people expected it when they first heard about the show so many years ago, was that it was going to be about parenthood. It was going to be about a father and a son.”

Mandalorian and Grogu is tracking for an $80M debut over the 4-day Memorial Day weekend. Compared to previous Star Wars movies, that'd be a disaster. For a theatrical movie based on a TV show, that's not bad at all.

to a straight couple: which one of you is the mandalorian and which one of you is the grogu?

Just noticed my bday lands on a Friday this year! It was a Friday when I was born too, and as a cinephile that's really special to me! Also as a Star Wars fan I always thought it was neat I was born 9 years and 362 days after it released. I wonder if I'll ever get a SW movie releasing on my— oh no
