‘Garfield’ Still Has Upper Paw Over ‘Furiosa’ With $13M Second Weekend – Saturday AM Update
deadline.comSATURDAY AM WRITETHRU: After a poor Memorial Day weekend, we have a poor post-holiday period, with all titles grossing an estimated $68.6M, -66% from a year ago, when Sony proved superhero movies weren’t dead with Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse contributing to a marketplace that grossed $205.1M.
Alcon/Sony’s The Garfield Movie, as expected, is showing his teeth against Warner Bros’ Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga in a second-weekend faceoff between the two, $13M to $11.5M. Garfield took in $3.7M at 4,018 theaters yesterday, while Furiosa made $3.05M at 3,864.
Garfield‘s Weekend 2 hold is a great -45% off the 3-day, while Furiosa isn’t shabby at -56%. By Sunday, Garfield‘s running total will stand at $50.5M, while Furiosa will be at $50.4M.
Paramount’s IF in Weekend 3 is hoping that matinees push Furiosa out of second, that movie having posted $2.86M yesterday at 3,783 theaters for a 3-day of $11M, -32%, and running total of $80M by Sunday.
