The weekend after Memorial Day is gearing up to be just as bleak as last weekend. The Garfield Movie will claim the top spot at the box office on a very quiet weekend.
Hollywood Reporter pointed out that this weekend was especially dull compared to last year’s earnings. Spider-Man: Across The Spiderverse swung onto this big screen this time last year, and went on to become a box office darling. The weekend might end at a 67% drop from last year to this year.
Garfield is shaping up to take home $14 million this weekend, with a side of lasagna. The small total, on top of its roughly $30 million for Memorial Day weekend, won’t hurt the film too much, since it’s working off a reported budget of $60 million.
Furiosa, however, is not quite so well off. George Miller’s newest excursion is a prequel centering on the titular character Furiosa, showing her young life and rise to power ahead of where audiences saw her in Mad Max: Fury Road.
Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga falls to third place this weekend, coming up behind IF. In its third weekend, the film about imaginary friends IF made $10.8 million, bringing its domestic total to $80.4 million.
With a Memorial Day weekend totaling around $32 million, Furiosa’s second weekend will add $10.75 million, going off a reported budget of $168 million. Worldwide, Furiosa is barely at half that, with $74 million.
Kingdom Of The Planet Of The Apes holds down fourth with around $9 million, with fifth going to Fall Guy with $4.2 million.
