AceShowbiz - The Mandalorian and Grogu and its beloved character Grogu have generated $12 million from Thursday night previews. This figure marks the early audience turnout ahead of the film’s latest release, but still trailing behind the Thursday preview earnings of the 2018 film, Solo: A Star Wars Story.

The $12 million preview revenue highlights the anticipation surrounding The Mandalorian and Grogu, but it is notably less than the amount brought in by Solo: A Star Wars Story during its own Thursday night previews six years ago. This comparison draws attention to the different scales of audience engagement between the film and the theatrical movie event.

While The Mandalorian and Grogu continues to attract a significant fanbase eager to follow the adventures of Grogu, the early earnings suggest a more modest initial turnout compared to the theatrical release of the Star Wars standalone film. The $12 million preview income reflects a different viewing context and market impact than a major cinema release.

As the film progresses, further box office or streaming metrics will provide a clearer picture of its overall success relative to past Star Wars projects. For now, the Thursday preview performance establishes The Mandalorian and Grogu as a continuing force in the Star Wars franchise, even if it hasn’t yet matched the early numbers of Solo.
