The North American box office over Memorial Day Weekend might be described as a wasteland, with “Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga” and “The Garfield Movie” pulling in disappointing holiday opening numbers, according to industry estimates.
“Furiosa” brought in an estimated $32 million Friday through Monday, with $25.5 million of that generated Friday through Sunday, representing the lowest total for a top-grossing film on Memorial Day weekend since 1995.
Damn. I saw Garfield. It wasn’t good. Doing worse at the box office is quite a feat to achieve with cool car special effects, in play.
Admittedly, I didn’t previously believe that Bill Murray could talk for two hours without saying a single funny thing.
(Edit: What. The fuck. They made another Garfield movie. This year. Society is truly doomed to repeat it’s worst mistakes. I haven’t seen that one. I will take no part in this depravity.)
I guess there’s still new horizons out there…
