STAR WARS SENDS FANS INTO JEDI MANIA WITH MONSTER OPENING!

The Force is officially with Disney as "The Mandalorian and Grogu" just hauled in a massive $33 million on Friday! This flick brought Star Wars back to the big screen after a long seven-year hiatus, and fans are clearly here for it. Variety reports that the film, playing in 4,300 North American theaters, completely dominated the box office as it blasted into Memorial Day weekend.

This intergalactic western isn't just raking in the cash; it's projected to hit a whopping $80 million to $100 million in its opening weekend! Looks like Baby Yoda (and his bounty-hunting buddy) are still major crowd-pleasers. Critics and audiences alike are praising the return to form, making it clear that the Star Wars universe is far from over on the big screen.
