Baby Yoda re-sets ‘Star Wars’ films with $165M global opening

LOS ANGELES >> Baby Yoda brought crowds to movie theaters over the U.S. Memorial Day weekend, putting “Star Wars” film “The Mandalorian and Grogu” on track to collect roughly $165 million around the globe, distributor Walt Disney said on Sunday. The movie topped box office charts in the United States and Canada, where it was expected to bring in about $102 million. That would edge abovepre-weekend forecasts for Friday through Monday but rank as the smallest opening for any “Star Wars” film under Disney.
