The Garfield Movie has broken a major franchise box office record in North America. The new animated movie stars Chris Pratt in the title role as the iconic lasagna-loving, Monday-hating orange cat who originated in the 1978 Jim Davis comic strip. The Garfield Movie release kicked off overseas in early May before it opened over Memorial Day weekend at the domestic box office, taking No. 2 behind Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga. It eventually pulled ahead of the underperforming post-apocalyptic action movie to take No. 1 in its second domestic weekend.
Per Deadline, The Garfield Movie is projected to take in a 3-day total of $5.3 million by the end of its fourth weekend in domestic theaters. This will bring its cumulative domestic total to $78.8 million. Because the 2004 blended live-action and CGI feature Garfield: The Movie only earned $75.4 million in North America, it has now been supplanted as the No. 1 movie in the franchise at the domestic box office.
