Hollywood Braces for Summer of Box Office Flops
TL;DR Summary
Hollywood is facing a disastrous summer as major releases like "Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga" and "The Garfield Movie" flop at the box office, leading to the worst Memorial Day weekend in nearly 30 years. With ticket sales down 22% year-on-year and a slate of uninspiring sequels and prequels, the industry struggles to attract audiences back to cinemas. The rise of streaming services and ongoing actors' and writers' strikes further complicate the situation, highlighting the need for fresh ideas to revive the blockbuster season.
