Another big factor was the Memorial Day weekend. Traditionally, movies released over the 3 day weekend haven’t fared well at the box office.

Specifically, this year, the whole Memorial Day weekend crapped the bed & pulled in the lowest revenue in decades. Dan Murell has a great breakdown on this, if it’s of interest.

Garfield picked up steam in its second weekend, but Furiosa just didn’t have the legs.

Which sucks, because it’s a very enjoyable film.
