Star Wars The Mandalorian and Grogu will soon be available to watch wherever you are on Disney+.
The Walt Disney Company and Lucasfilm have announced at D23 on Friday that The Mandalorian and Grogu will go on their streaming platform on September 2nd. That’s around 3 months after it hit and crashed into theatres. For comparison, Disney’s Avatar: Fire and Ash came to Disney+ after a successful 6 month long stint in cinemas.
This move comes after Disney+ Europe, Middle East and Africa General Manager Karl Holmes confirmed back in June that the film would release on the platform at some point this year.
A new poster for the Disney+ release was published with the announcement. You can view it below:
Whilst the Jon Favreau-directed adventure opened to a better than expected opening weekend, ticket sales at the box office fell off a cliff in the second weekend. This continued as the weeks went by in an extremely disappointing theatrical run. It was even partially replaced with disastrous He-Man Masters of the Universe movie.Â
Previously, we learned how Disney were claiming to not only take into account the $340m box office figure. Instead, merchandise/toy sales plus Disney Park tickets and Disney+ viewers will also be used to justify the film’s reported $300m (with marketing) budget.
It will be interesting to see how the Favreau and Filioni flick film fairs on Disney+ over the next few months. We’ll be taking a look at any data that ends up being published so stay tuned for that.
