Jon Favreau helmed Star Wars: The Mandalorian, featuring Pedro Pascal in the lead role, and it is shaping up to have a strong debut at the domestic box office. If the latest estimates hold, the film will mark one of the strongest starts and rank among the top opening weekends among Pedro’s last 5 releases. Keep scrolling for the deets.
Strong start on the cards for the Pedro Pascal starrer
According to Box Office Pro’s latest report, The Mandalorian and Grogu are now tracking to earn between $90 million and $100 million on their opening weekend at the box office in North America. Initially, the film was tracking to earn between $70 million and $80 million in North America. As days go by, the projected range could change further. But it will not surpass the last Star Wars film, as 2019’s Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker collected $177.4 million on its opening weekend in North America. Despite that, it is expected to have a strong start.
Where it stands among Pedro Pascal’s last 5 films’ debut weekend collections
Based on current tracking, Star Wars: The Mandalorian and Grogu are likely to land at #2 among Pedro Pascal’s last five debut weekends at the North American box office. It would sit just behind The Fantastic Four: First Steps [$117.6 million] while comfortably surpassing Gladiator II, The Wild Robot, and two more movies.
