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.

Saw it Thursday night, and there were less than 10 people in the theater. The movie itself was pretty lackluster, but I thought Hemsworth was great.

Lackluster compared to FR is not a surprise. It would have been hard to match.

I saw it Saturday and there were maybe 8 others in the theater at a 6pm showing.

Movie was mediocre at best. I hated that so much green screen and CGI was used for the car battles. Story was lacking as well. Characters went nowhere.

mediocre!

my favorite part was how they showed scenes from Fury Road at the end to remind you about how this is related to an outstanding film.

There is a nonzero chance that the last thing I will see on my deathbed is Chris Hemsworth's bloody nipples.

I thought it was great though. Not lackluster at all
