Wow...
Looks like it's 3rd place for the weekend behind a $10 Million low-budget movie and a $1 Million practically nil budget movie.

Quote:The so-called "movie" is really four episodes of the Mandalorian TV show. It is a wonder of marketing and promotion that Disney was able to sell tickets to a Disney+ TV show. None of the previous 24 episodes of The Mandalorian were released in theaters, but the most recent 4 were.

You can see the 4 episodes for free. Don't be so stupid and pay Disney to watch TV:

That so-called TV show cost $165 Million to produce.
It's losing to a movie that cost $10 Million and a 2nd movie that cost $1 Million.
It's a fucking Star Wars property, which would have sold over a billion dollars worth of tickets 10 years ago before Disney destroyed the franchise.

The one thing it's got going for it is the budget, but only if that's true. We've seen quite a few Disney flicks that cost far more than they admitted initially over the last 5 years.
So it "only" needs around $412 Million to break even, which is quite a low bar for a modern Disney movie to have to cross.
It's never going to hit that, but at least the losses won't be massive like Indy5 or The Marvels.
I just love watching Obsession beat it. It cost less than $1 Million to make, it came out in theaters a week before Star Wars, and it just set the record for the only movie to make more money on its 3rd weekend than its 1st weekend.
And then The Backrooms comes out and makes more than 3 times as much as Star Wars on its 2nd weekend.

Aug 21, 2020 (notice that is 6 years ago. Inflate all the numbers to get the 2026 cost.)
Disney is betting big on its upcoming Disney+ streaming service and is willing to put money where its mouth is. According to reports, the per episode cost to make The Mandalorian reaches close to $15 million, making the cost of a whole season nearly $120 million. That's similar to a major movie blockbuster.

-each-episode-costs-to-make
According to the California Film Commission (via Collider), The Mandalorian and Grogu had an overall production budget of just $166.4 million. It received tax credits of $21.75 million, which will have further helped. This is unusual for Disney, which has frequently struggled to keep costs under control when it comes to Star Wars.

Disney made a profit from the TV show without selling any theater tickets. If you were dumb enough to buy a movie ticket to the 2026 episodes of The Mandalorian, you are pretty damn stupid.

I don't doubt that. Disney knows how to piss away money better than anyone besides the US Government.
I think I remember hearing that Secret Invasion was something like $435 Million to film the whole season.
ETA: Nah... I must be confusing that number with something else that they did. Or maybe it was something Lord of the Rings releated over at Amazon that I'm thinking about.
Secret Invasion cost $224.3 Million.
The entire run was 223 minutes and 30 seconds long, so every minute you saw on screen cost $1 Million to make.
I think most would argue you did not see $1 Million per minute on the screen at any point in time on the show.

Oh, right...
Speaking of $1 Million, have I mentioned yet that a low-budget horror movie in its 3rd weekend outsold Star Wars by nearly $3 Million dollars. And that this no-name horror film only cost $1 Million to make?
And it wasn't only a minute long either. I'm seeing a 108 minute runtime.
hmmmmmmmm...
That's only $9,259 per minute!
Damn...
That's still $1,500 more than I spent to live last year.
ETA:
Let's see...
525,600 minutes in a year. Divide $7,500 by that...
$0.0142
That's about $0.86 per hour it costs for me to live right now.
So when I hear about a "low budget" movie costing nearly $10,000 per minute to make, I don't know what the hell is going on.
When I hear about somebody else pissing away $1 Million per minute, it kind of makes me want to set something on fire.
