'Furiosa' Edges 'Garfield' in Worst Memorial Day Weekend Since 1995 - Feddit UK

> The North American box office over Memorial Day Weekend might be described as a wasteland, with “Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga” and “The Garfield Movie” pulling in disappointing holiday opening numbers, according to industry estimates. > > “Furiosa” brought in an estimated $32 million Friday through Monday, with $25.5 million of that generated Friday through Sunday, representing the lowest total for a top-grossing film on Memorial Day weekend since 1995.

Because the article doesn’t say, the American box office numbers for the week of Memorial Day 1995 (unadjusted):

  • Casper - $25,511,615 (opening week)
  • Die Hard with a Vengeance - $22,492,166 (-24.7% week over week)
  • Braveheart - $15,571,948 (+489.3% week over week)
  • Crimson Tide - $15,116,928 (-3.1% week over week)
  • Forget Paris - $8,974,170 - (+13.9 week over week)

    • (Sixth place was the premier of Johnny Mnemonic at only 8.9 million.)

    Keanu Reeve, Bruce Willis, Denzel Washington, and Mel Gibson all got beat by Bill Pullman!

    I remember seeing Casper in the theaters with my family, and it’s entirely possible it was over Memorial Day weekend. Which means I might be partially responsible for this. 🙃

    I watched Casper in theatres more times than is reasonable
