This summer, movie theaters are facing a challenging time as Memorial Day weekend failed to bring in the usual blockbuster numbers. Two highly anticipated films, 'Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga' and 'The Garfield Movie,' were unable to lift the box office to its usual heights, resulting in one of the lowest-earning holiday weekends in the past two decades.
'Furiosa,' the prequel to the popular Mad Max series, starring Anya Taylor-Joy and Chris Hemsworth, managed to secure the top spot for the Friday-Saturday-Sunday weekend with $25.6 million in ticket sales. On the other hand, 'The Garfield Movie,' an animated family-friendly film, claimed the No. 1 spot for the four-day holiday weekend with an estimated $31.9 million in earnings through Memorial Day.
