The new Star Wars movie, "The Mandalorian and Grogu", dominates the box office, but with a disappointing debut.

After almost seven years, "Star Wars: The Mandalorian and Grogu" has brought the franchise back to the big screens, debuting with 82 million dollars in theaters in the US and Canada. It is expected to surpass 165 million dollars globally after the extended Memorial Day weekend.

Disney sees this return as a crucial test to demonstrate that Star Wars can generate global events, not just success on streaming platforms. Although the debut exceeded estimates, the figures are below those of previous releases, and analysts compare the film to "Solo: A Star Wars Story," considered a commercial failure. However, the production budget of 165 million dollars is significantly lower, facilitating the path to profitability.

Grogu, known as "Baby Yoda," remains a magnet for audiences, and viewer reactions are positive, despite mixed reviews from critics. In a transitional period for the franchise, Disney is already preparing the next film, "Star Wars: Starfighter," with Ryan Gosling, which will be a decisive test for the future of the franchise in theaters.
