This image released by Warner Bros. Pictures shows Anya Taylor-Joy in a scene from “Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga.” This image released by Sony Pictures shows Garfield, voiced by Chris Pratt, in a scene from the animated film “The Garfield Movie.” Aside from Memorial Day in 2020 when theaters were closed due to COVID-19, these are the lowest earning No. 1 movies in 29 years, since “Casper” earned $22.5 million in its first four days in 1995. Big earners are more typical for the holiday weekend, which has had ten movies crack $100 million, led by. Last year, the live-action “The Little Mermaid” joined the group with a $118 million debut.
“The Garfield Movie,” meanwhile, was more modestly budgeted, at a reported $60 million and is being looked at as a solid launch for the franchise. It previously opened internationally and has earned over $66 million to date. Its domestic launch far surpassed the first weekends of previous attempts at Garfield movies.
