Fat cat Garfield 'defeats' Furiosa in theaters

Overall, the market continues to be tough, but Sony is doing well. In addition to The Garfield Movie , the studio is also releasing the manga adaptation Haikyu!! The Dumpster Battle in 1,086 locations (including some Imax screenings). The film earned $1.9 million on May 31.

This is just the latest example of how anime has found a loyal audience in North America. Haikyu!! The Dumpster Battle, released in its native Japan in February, is the second-highest-grossing film release of 2024 so far in the country.

Garfield the Fat Cat Voiced by Chris Pratt

Meanwhile, The Garfield Movie added $3.7 million on May 31. The animated film, which stars Chris Pratt, is expected to earn $13 million in its second weekend. The Garfield movie has now crossed $40 million domestically and won’t face competition until Inside Out 2 hits theaters in mid-June.

While not a breakout hit, the fat cat did well considering its $60 million production budget and its overseas gross of $64.2 million, bringing its global total to $104.2 million.

Warner Bros. blockbuster Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga took in $3 million on May 31, dropping about 59 percent for the second film in the action franchise. Not bad, but hardly a huge box office hit. With a production budget of $168 million, plus marketing and distribution costs, the prequel received good reviews but had little hope of making a profit in theaters. Its 2015 predecessor, Mad Max: Fury Road , was considered a modest box office hit at the time, earning $63 million in its first seven days in North America. Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga ended its first weekend with $38.9 million.

Paramount’s IF took second place, with an expected $11 million in its third weekend. It’s likely to surpass $80 million domestically through June 3. Its $110 million production budget remains a significant financial burden, but the John Krasinski-directed film has managed to hold its own in theaters.

Fourth place goes to 20th Century Studios’ Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes , which earned $2.4 million on May 31. The film has now surpassed $130 million domestically, making it the fourth-highest-grossing domestic release of the year, ahead of its 2017 predecessor War for the Planet of the Apes (which earned $124 million in its first 21 days and ended with $146 million domestically).

The Fall Guy rounded out the top five after earning $1.1 million on May 31. Universal's action comedy, starring Ryan Gosling and Emily Blunt, crossed $80 million in North America over the weekend.

The Garfield Movie (Vietnamese title Garfield: Super naughty fat cat ) has earned more than 7.5 billion VND even though it was just released in Vietnamese theaters on May 31. Meanwhile, Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga ( Furiosa: The story from Mad Max ) was released in theaters on May 24 but only earned 11 billion VND (according to Box Office Vietnam).
