Summary
John Rocha is hosting for Kristian Harloff today as he dives into the latest Star Wars box office numbers for The Mandalorian and Grogu. After concerns that the film could open below expectations, the newest reports show the movie heading toward a massive $167 million global debut with stronger-than-expected domestic numbers over Memorial Day weekend. Rocha breaks down whether this is a true comeback moment for Star Wars on the big screen or if Disney and Lucasfilm still have major challenges ahead. The show also covers the surprising breakout success of the viral horror film Obsession, which is becoming one of the biggest box office stories of the year thanks to incredible audience momentum and social media buzz.
