"‘Furiosa’ and ‘Garfield’ Lead Slowest Memorial Day Box Office in Decades"

Over Memorial Day weekend, "Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga" and "The Garfield Movie" tied for first place at the box office, each earning around $31 million. Despite the competition, this marks the worst Memorial Day opening in nearly three decades, reflecting a broader trend of underwhelming box office performances. "Furiosa" and "Garfield" both received mixed reviews but performed well internationally. Other recent releases like "Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes" and "The Fall Guy" also struggled to meet expectations, contributing to a 22% decline in overall ticket sales compared to last year.
