The latest Star Wars movie, "The Mandalorian and Grogu," opened with an $82 million domestic debut, the weakest among recent franchise releases, falling short of the $84 million debut of 2018's "Solo." Despite this, the film is expected to surpass $100 million over the Memorial Day weekend. Disney's strategy extends beyond ticket sales to include merchandise, streaming on Disney+, and theme park attractions, leveraging the franchise's strong retail sales of over $1 billion annually. The movie's release also ties into updates at Disney theme parks and partnerships with games like Fortnite, highlighting a diversified approach to maximizing the franchise's value.
