Disney’s The Mandalorian and Grogu ignited to $100 million at the domestic box office over the Memorial Day holiday weekend.
The Star Wars spinoff, a continuation of the popular Disney+ streaming series, also collected a softer $63 million from international markets for a global debut of $163 million over the four-day period.
Second place went to Focus Features’ breakout horror hit Obsession, which enjoyed a larger-than-expected sophomore outing. The film amassed $23.9 million over the weekend and $30.3 million through Monday.
So far, the film has generated a remarkable $60.7 million in North America and $75 million worldwide.
