“Furiosa,” the Mad Max prequel starring Anya Taylor-Joy and Chris Hemsworth, took first place over the weekend in theaters in the United States and Canada, grossing $25.6 million, according to Warner Bros. estimates. . published on Sunday.
The animated film “The Garfield Movie”, for the whole family, was the other big news of the weekend from Columbia Pictures and Sony’s Alcon Entertainment. It’s on track to climb to first place at the box office with an estimated $31.9 million for the holiday weekend. Sony estimates its three-day earnings will be $24.8 million.
But neither “Furiosa” nor “Garfield” could escape the low ratings over the Memorial Day long weekend, which are heading toward their lowest point in two decades.
Aside from the 2020 holiday, when theaters closed due to the Covid-19 pandemic, they are the lowest-grossing No. 1 films in 29 years, since “Casper” grossed $22.5 million (not adjusted for inflation) in its first four days in 1995.
The big grosses are more typical of the holiday weekend, in which ten films have surpassed $100 million, led by “Top Gun: Maverick,” which broke the record of $160 million in 2022.
Last year, the live-action film “The Little Mermaid” joined the pack with a $118 million debut. Audiences even turned out in greater numbers during the 2021 pandemic weekend for “A Quiet Place Part II,” which grossed more than $57 million.
