"Furiosa Tops Garfield in Worst Memorial Day Box Office Since 1995"

TL;DR Summary
The US box office experienced its worst Memorial Day weekend since 1995, with "Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga" and "Garfield" failing to meet expectations. "Furiosa" earned $32 million, slightly ahead of "Garfield's" $31.1 million, but both fell short of anticipated figures. The industry continues to struggle, with ticket sales significantly behind pre-pandemic levels. Sequel fatigue and the absence of major stars are cited as factors, and hopes now rest on upcoming children's sequels and adult-oriented films to boost summer box office performance.
