Box Office: ‘Furiosa’ and ‘The Garfield Movie’ Tie for No. 1 With $31 Million in Bleak Memorial Day Weekend Battle


"Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga" and Sony's animated "The Garfield Movie" are tying for first place over Memorial Day weekend.

The Warner Bros. high-octane prequel “ Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga ” is facing off against Sony’s animated “ The Garfield Movie ” to place first on box office charts over Memorial Day weekend. Analysts believe that “Furiosa” missed the box office mark because, despite the hype from “Fury Road,” the R-rated prequel didn’t appeal beyond its core demographic of older male moviegoers. Reviews aren’t the selling point of “The Garfield Movie,” which holds a 37% on Rotten Tomatoes, but audiences were fond of the animated film voiced by Chris Pratt and Samuel L. Jackson.
