Star Wars: The Mandalorian and Grogu has opened with modest box-office numbers in North America.

The movie, however, has recorded the lowest opening-day collection for a Disney-era Star Wars movie. It is also one of the top five opening days of the year. Keep scrolling for the deets.
On the Rotten Tomatoes platform, the film received 62% from critics on the Tomatometer, and their collective consensus reads: Bountiful in action but threadbare in narrative thrust, with its episodic structure, this Star Wars is more of a skirmish that coasts on the charm of its central dynamic duo. The movie will depend heavily on how much the audience loves it.
