The Mandalorian and Grogu 4K UHD, Blu-ray and streaming release available ‣ Diverse Daily

It has been a rocky road for Disney+ series spinoff movie The Mandalorian and Grogu, which didn’t exactly land with audiences in theaters when it was released back in May. The film has ended its theatrical run officially and now has the unfortunate distinction of being the lowest-grossing live-action Star Wars film of all time, grossing just $342.2 million worldwide, far below the previous record-holder, Solo: A Star Wars Story, which grossed just $393 million worldwide.

Though it’s hard to pinpoint exactly what went wrong with this film, some have speculated that the mere idea of bringing a Disney+ series to the big screen, even one as notable as The Mandalorian, would doom the movie from the outset, as viewers would rather stream the movie at home, in the same place where they watched the original series that this movie spun off from. Star Wars and overall franchise fatigue have also been cited as potential reasons why this movie simply didn’t live up to expectations at the multiplex.

Whatever the reason, it seems likely that Disney is hoping that this movie will get a second wind on streaming and home release, as they have rushed this title to VOD platforms and have also announced several 4K UHD/Blu-ray physical releases as well.

The Mandalorian and Grogu officially hits streaming next week with a physical release in August

The release comes 61 days exactly after the film debuted in theaters

Disney announced this morning that The Mandalorian and Grogu will be available to purchase for $30 on digital platforms like Apple TV, Amazon Prime Video, and Fandango in just one week on Tuesday, July 21. This comes only 61 days after the movie was first released in theaters on May 22, 2026, only one day past the 60-day “blockbuster” theatrical exclusivity window, which is likely an indication that Disney has been hoping to get this on streaming as soon as possible.

The film will also be releasing on 4K Ultra HD and Blu-ray August 25, with standard editions, a Steelbook special edition, and a premium Beskar Collector’s Edition, which includes the film on 4K UHD, Blu-ray, and Digital as well as metal posters and exclusive, limited edition packaging. Preorders for all physical copies of the movie are expected to go live soon.

Of course, though the initial digital and physical releases of The Mandalorian and Grogu are exciting for fans, I’d guess most people who enjoyed The Mandalorian TV series are waiting for this film to come to Disney+. And while it will probably be a bit of a wait, it seems likely that Disney will be pushing this release out as soon as they can if this rushed VOD release is any indication.

Though conventional wisdom might suggest that Disney will wait until after the physical 4K UHD/ Blu-ray release to set the Disney+ premiere date for this movie, several recent films have bucked this trend, most recently Project Hail Mary, which debuted on Amazon Prime Video before its August 4K UHD/Blu-ray release.

Only time will tell when Disney will release this title on Disney+ but my guess is that we’ll see it before the end of the summer, perhaps even as early as August 21, which would be in line with the typical 30-day VOD exclusivity window for high profile releases.
