‘The Mandalorian And Grogu’ Can Break One Record For The ‘Star Wars’ Franchise
The great story and over-the-top performance are not the only thing that makes a franchise glorious. It must have big box office numbers too. The MCU is currently regarded as the best franchise because of how good the movies are and how well they perform at the box office. There are currently 33 MCU movies that hit the box office and have collected almost $30 billion.
On the other hand, the ‘Star Wars‘ franchise, which had 11 theatrical releases has generated precisely $10.3 billion. So Lucasfilms will be aiming to break that $11 billion barrier and move past the Spider-Man movie which currently stands at $10.6 billion.
The love fans have shown to the story of the bounty hunter and his cute little partner, it might be a cakewalk for the movie to generate $700 million at the box office. ‘The Mandalorian and Grogu’ is expected to be released on 22 May 2026 if everything goes right.
