The film made $82 million this weekend, and will make $102 million domestic through the holiday. Overseas, it earned $64 million, to bring its totals for the long weekend to $165 million. This is the worst opening for a <b>Star Wars<\/b> film since Disney took the reins, but with positive reviews and a budget of $165 million, it should fare better than the much more expensive <b>Solo<\/b>.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, <b>Obsession<\/b> had the rare distinction of being a film to make 30$ more in its second weekend of wide release &#8211; $22 million &#8211; than its first, which was a $16 million take. Through the holiday, that total should climb to $28.2 million, bringing its total receipts to $58.5 million domestic and $74 million globally. This is a gigantic hit for being a film made for under $1 million, and bought by Focus Features for just $14 million.<\/p>\n<p>The rest of the top five was filled with older releases. <b>Michael<\/b> took the third spot with $20 million, which will end up being around $25.7 million through Monday. The film has grossed $319 million domestic and $788 million worldwide.<\/p>\n<p><b>The Devil Wears Prada 2<\/b> took fourth with $12.6 million, climbing to $16.5 million through the holiday. The sequel 20 years in the making has made $197 million in North America and $604 million globally.<\/p>\n<p>And in fifth place was <b>The Sheep Detectives<\/b>, falling just 6% to $8.9 million, and a projected $12.3 million through Monday. It has enjoyed strong word of mouth, and has grossed $46.9 million domestic on a $75 million budget.<\/p>\n<p>Two new wide releases failed to break into the top five. <b>Passenger<\/b> came in sixth place with $8.7 million, and that should increase to $10.5 million through tomorrow. The horror film received a B- Cinemascore and mixed reviews, but cost only $15 million to produce.<\/p>\n<p>And <b>I Love Boosters<\/b> came in 8th, only $3.8 million over the weekend and a projected $4.7 million through Monday. Critics gave the film great reviews, while audiences were more mixed with a B Cinemascore. The film cost $20 million to produce.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Variety\/status\/2058566298892714425\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Source<\/a> <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/ohnotheydidnt.livejournal.com\/132382510.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Box Office: &#8216;Mandalorian and Grogu&#8217; Lifts Off With $102 Million Over Memorial Day Holiday, &#8216;Obsession&#8217; Scores $28 Million in Huge Second Weekend https:\/\/t.co\/MfzoW8quJh \u2014 Variety (@Variety) May 24, 2026 It&#8217;s Memorial Day weekend in the US, meaning many folks have tomorrow off, and Disney took advantage of that holiday to launch Star Wars: The Mandalorian [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":242154,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-242153","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-hollywood"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/entertainment.runfyers.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/242153","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/entertainment.runfyers.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/entertainment.runfyers.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/entertainment.runfyers.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/entertainment.runfyers.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=242153"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/entertainment.runfyers.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/242153\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/entertainment.runfyers.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/242154"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/entertainment.runfyers.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=242153"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/entertainment.runfyers.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=242153"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/entertainment.runfyers.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=242153"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
