Neither 'Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga' nor 'The Garfield Movie' could save Memorial Day weekend, which is cruising towards a two-decade low.
This image released by Warner Bros . Pictures shows Anya Taylor-Joy in a scene from " Furiosa : A Mad Max Saga." Movie theaters are looking more and more like a wasteland this summer. Neither " Furiosa : A Mad Max Saga" nor "The Garfield Movie " could save Memorial Day weekend, which is cruising towards a two-decade low.
“This was a rather slow Memorial weekend,” said Paul Dergarabedian, the senior media analyst for Comscore. “A few things didn’t happen that created this situation: We didn’t have a tailwind heading into the summer. We kicked off the summer minus a Marvel movie. In a way, we’ve been playing catch up all year long.”
“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.
This all adds up to a summer moviegoing season that will not only fall short of a normal $4 billion stretch but may even struggle to reach $3 billion. Earlier this week, the industry trade The Hollywood Reporter asked “ what happened to the $100 million opener? ” Notably, 2024 has had none yet. The biggest of the year was “Dune: Part Two,” which opened to $82.5 million and went on to earn over $711 million worldwide.
