LOS ANGELES - New "Star Wars" film "The Mandalorian and Grogu" is expected to end the U.S. Memorial Day weekend with roughly $165 million in worldwide ticket sales, distributor Walt Disney said on Sunday.

About $102 million of that total will come from the United States and Canada, Disney said. The domestic total exceeds pre-weekend forecasts but is the lowest opening for any "Star Wars" movie released by Disney.
