"Memorial Day Box Office Slumps with 'Furiosa' Flop"

The summer box office season saw a disappointing Memorial Day weekend, with "Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga" and "The Garfield Movie" both underperforming. "Furiosa" earned $32 million and "Garfield" $31.1 million, marking one of the lowest-grossing Memorial Day weekends in nearly 30 years. Factors such as the rise of streaming, pandemic-related shifts in viewing habits, and the films being prequels or reboots contributed to the poor performance. Despite some recent box office successes, the industry faces challenges, with hopes pinned on upcoming releases like "Deadpool & Wolverine."
