The Garfield Movie and Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga battled for the top spot in North American theaters over the long US holiday weekend, but it was still a rough Memorial Day at the box office, industry estimates showed Sunday.
Furiosa, the fifth installment in Australian director George Miller’s Mad Max post-apocalyptic action series, starring Anya Taylor-Joy in the role first played in Charlize Theron, was right behind at $31.5 million over the four-day weekend.Furiosa, from Warner Bros, was ahead in the estimated Friday-Sunday totals, Exhibitor said, but the four-day figure is the key metric. Final figures are due out Tuesday.
As for Furiosa, Gross called it “a weak opening for Mad Max’s 5th episode,” adding that though it was well received by critics and audiences, the prequel paled at the box office in comparison to Mad Max: Fury Road, which starred Theron. Both Variety and The Hollywood Reporter said whichever film triumphs, it will be the worst Memorial Day opening in nearly three decades.
