Monday Box Office: “Garfield” Claws Way to Number 1 as “Mad Max Furiosa” Falls Apart on Memorial Day

Share

After a tough weekend, things are worse today at the box office.

“Garfield” the cat movie clawed its way to number 1, bypassing what seems to be the falling-apart “Furiosa” Mad Max movie.

The four day totals for both movies are the lowest in three decades for a Memorial Day weekend. Respectively, they’re at $31 million and $32 million. Things will only go downhill from here.

Even though today is a HOLIDAY, predictions are pretty bad for all movies. The Monday guesstimates are all down from Sunday by 14% to 30%. Isn’t today the day to go to the movies? You have nothing to do!

One of the biggest flops is the Amy Winehouse movie, “Back to Black.” It’s made just $5 million in 11 days after taking in $25 million internationally. “Back to Black” will show up on flights soon.
