The Big Picture It’s going to be another disappointing weekend at the domestic box office, continuing what has so far been a rather underwhelming summer. After last weekend’s record-low numbers, things are looking even more dire this weekend. With no new major releases lined up, Sony’s The Garfield Movie is expected to accomplish what it nearly missed in its debut: a number one finish ahead of Warner Bros.’ Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga.
On the other hand, Furiosais expected to hit the $50 million mark domestically by Sunday, after grossing a projected $11 million-plus in its second weekend. Budgeted at nearly $170 million, Furiosa reported the worst Memorial Day debut in nearly three decades last week, and no amount of positive buzz and fan-driven fervor is going to be able to pull it out of this mess.
20th Century Studios’ Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes, the rare summer hit of the year, is pacing ahead of its immediate predecessor, War for the Planet of the Apes. The fourth installment of the Planet of the Apes reboot series grossed $2.4 million on its fourth Friday, and is eying around $8 million this weekend. This should take the film’s running domestic gross to just under $140 million.
