Memorial Day weekend is usually a big one for moviegoers and Hollywood, but this year’s numbers show otherwise. Warner Bros.’ 'Furiosa' edged out Sony’s 'The Garfield Movie' with just $32 million domestically to take the top spot for the four-day weekend, according to estimates from Comscore. Final results will be released this week. Now the heat is on for Hollywood to deliver the rest of summer movie season. 'Furiosa' was the lowest-grossing No.
For instance, Paramount's eighth 'Mission: Impossible' movie was once slated for this June, but is now hitting theaters next year. Disney's 'Lion King' prequel, 'Mufasa,' will now come out in December instead of during the summer, as originally planned. The movie industry is expected to return to a more normal schedule next year. This Memorial Day weekend also didn't have a Marvel movie paving the way for other movies to do big business.
