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.

Lol I agree with you somewhat, but I think you're too lost in the sauce here. There are plenty of egregious examples of Hollywood and movie studios doing what you dislike (Batman rings some bells...), but this ain't it chief.
