tl;dr Furiosa's $25 million opening was lower than the expected $40 million that its predecessor Fury Road opened with. Could lose money on its $168 million budget.

Lower budgeted family friendly Garfield well on its way to profit on its reported $60 million budget.

  1. “Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga,” $25.6 million.

  2. “The Garfield Movie,” $24.8 million.

  3. “IF,” $16.1 million.

  4. “Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes,” $13.4 million.

  5. “The Fall Guy,” $5.9 million.

  6. “The Strangers: Chapter 1,” $5.6 million.

  7. “Sight,” $2.7 million.”

  8. “Challengers,” $1.4 million.

  9. “Babes,” $1.1 million.

  10. “Back to Black,” $1.1 million.

I wish movie theaters aggressively enforced the stfu culture, but the bankrupt Arclight is the only theater I've been in where a disruptive person was actually told to get the fuck out.

Yeah, my last few theater experiences weren't great. Toddlers screaming and adults talking on their phone (note: neither we're kids movies). I'm sorry, but that's not the experience I shelled out a bunch of money for. The home 65" might not be as immersive, but it's quiet and I can pause it to to go pee and that's a massive win in my book.
