Garfield (Chris Pratt) in front of an explosion
The Big Picture Sony’s The Garfield Movie had its claws clipped this weekend by Pixar’s Inside Out 2, both domestically and worldwide. The animated film suffered its biggest drop yet, but it managed to pass a major new global box office milestone, while also becoming the top-grossing Garfield movie of all time.
But despite the restrained spending on Sony’s part, The Garfield Movie didn’t come close to repeating the phenomenal success of The Super Mario Bros. Movie last year. Also featuring Pratt’s voice in the titular role, Super Mario Bros. made over $1.3 billion worldwide last year, against a reported budget of $100 million.
The Garfield Movie appears to have settled at a 36% “rotten” score on the aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, with Collider’s Matthew Donato writing in his review that the film “ditches Davis' deadpan approach and Garfield’s lethargic personality for conventional heist movie tropes jammed through a kiddie-friendly lens.” But kid's movies are usually critic-proof and rely mainly on audience response, which, in The Garfield Movie’s case, has been positive.
