‘Garfield,’ ‘If’ and ‘Furiosa’ lead another lousy box office weekend
LA TimesIt was a quiet weekend at North American movie theaters, dominated once again by Sony’s “The Garfield Movie,” “Paramount’s “If” and Warner Bros. “Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga.” Flipping the script from their Memorial weekend openings, the animated orange cat crept ahead of the wasteland warrior in their second outing. The Garfield Movie ” earned a chart-topping $14 million in ticket sales while “If” slipped past “Furiosa” into second place, according to estimates from market research firm Comscore on Sunday. John Krasinski’s imaginary friends fantasy “If,” starring Ryan Reynolds and Cailey Fleming, earned $10.8 million in its third weekend and has now made over $80.4 million domestically. Likewise, Richard Linklater’s “ Hit Man ” is currently playing in select theaters around the country before it comes to streaming next week, but Netflix does not release box office numbers. The top-grossing movie of this year remains “Dune: Part Two,” which Warner Bros. released in early March and has made over $711 million globally.
