Mandalorian and Grogu tops box office

Disney's 'The Mandalorian and Grogu' successfully claimed the top spot at the North American box office, earning $82 million in its opening weekend.

Despite the number one ranking, the performance is being scrutinized as it falls on the lower end of Star Wars theatrical debuts.

The film's arrival comes as the industry watches for signs of franchise fatigue among moviegoers.

Elsewhere at the box office, the Michael Jackson biopic 'Michael' continues its strong run, approaching record-breaking figures for a musical biopic.
