The Garfield Movie has nearly made back its entire budget before opening in domestic theaters. The animated feature from Sony Pictures stars Chris Pratt as the voice of the iconic orange cat, who reunites with his father Vic (Samuel L. Jackson) over the course of a new big-screen adventure. The star-studded voice cast also includes Nicholas Hoult as Jon Arbuckle and Harvey Guillén as Odie. The 2024 Garfield movie premiered in certain international markets on May 1, though its domestic release is not set until the end of the month, over the Memorial Day holiday weekend in the U.S.

Per Deadline, The Garfield Movie has grossed an additional $10.3 million in international theaters this weekend, which is its third in various overseas markets, bringing its cumulative international total to $49 million. As the movie reportedly comes with a $60 million price tag, it has already made back more than 80% of its production budget before ever opening in the U.S. It also has several major international markets in which it has yet to open, including Japan, France, and the United Kingdom.
