Garfield & Furiosa Box Office Running Very Tight Race As Mad Max Prequel Survives Week 2 Dip

This article covers a developing story. Continue to check back with us as we will be adding more information as it becomes available.

Summary Over Memorial Day weekend, Furiosa just barely overtook The Garfield Movie at the domestic box office after a neck-and-neck race.

In week 2, Garfield is pulling ahead of Furiosa despite the Mad Max prequel's solid audience hold.

As it stands, neither movie is a runaway success despite little domestic competition.

The Garfield Movie is pulling ahead of Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga as their neck-and-neck box office race continues. The former's domestic opening and the latter's worldwide opening took place over Memorial Day, which led to a neck-and-neck race for box office dominance during the three-day holiday weekend. Eventually, the Furiosa box office took No. 1 with a 4-day total of $32.3 million, trailed by Garfield at $31.3 million, but it was too close to call until Monday, an unusually tight race for a modern domestic box office weekend.

Per Deadline, as of Saturday The Garfield Movie is projected to close out its second weekend in domestic theaters with a 3-day total of $13 million. Although both titles are still performing similarly, it has pulled ahead of Furiosa, which is currently projected to take No. 2 with $11.5 million. This marks a 56% drop for Furiosa, which is reasonably solid for a major blockbuster in week 2, though Garfield's much slimmer 45% drop is what has caused this discrepancy between the titles.
