Box Office: ‘Furiosa’ Aims for $40 Million-Plus Debut, ‘The Garfield Movie’ Targets $30 Million Over Holiday Weekend
"Furiosa" and "Garfield" will battle for the top spot at the domestic box office over Memorial Day weekend.
Anya Taylor-Joy stars in “Furiosa,” portraying a younger version of the feminist warrior played by Theron in “Fury Road.” In the prequel, she gets abducted from her home and held hostage by the sinister Warlord Dementus (Chris Hemsworth). But was less effusive; chief film critic Owen Gleiberman praised the dazzling visuals but wrote that “despite some awesome action moments (and two mega villains), the feeling is one of inflated franchise overkill.” Reviews have been mixed, with Variety’s Carlos Aguilar chiding it for “shameless product placement.” He called “The Garfield Movie” a “terrible Monday of a film” and a “bleak reminder that the future of much children’s entertainment made in this country is to become colorful advertisements.”
