  • The new Star Wars film "The Mandalorian & Grogu" topped the box office in Slovenia with low attendance, drawing fewer than 100 viewers per screen.
  • "Michael," a biographical drama about Michael Jackson, ranked second, outperforming "Wicked Little Lies 2" and two horror films.
  • Despite a strong performance from "Super Mario Bros. Movie" and "The Wedding," overall cinema attendance dropped significantly, with only 14,020 viewers over the weekend.

Slovenian cinemas experienced a disappointing weekend, with overall attendance plummeting 70% compared to the previous week. Only 14,020 people visited movie theaters, a stark contrast to the previous weekend when favorable weather had boosted ticket sales.

The week's top release, "Star Wars: The Mandalorian & Grogu," secured the number one spot but failed to draw large crowds. Showing on 35 screens, the film averaged fewer than 100 viewers per screen. In comparison, the second-place film, "Michael," a biographical drama about Michael Jackson, was shown on just 12 screens, achieving an average of 212 viewers per screen.

Horror films "Obsession" and "The Passenger" also found favor with Slovenian audiences, securing fourth and fifth place respectively. Family adventure "The Little Bee" and Guy Ritchie's "The Zone of Interest" slipped one spot each. Meanwhile, "The Super Mario Bros. Movie" continues to perform well, nearing 33,000 viewers after two months. However, the highest-grossing film currently in theaters remains "The Wedding," with 163,000 viewers, despite falling to 15th place this week.
