A road warrior who gets off to a worse start than a lazy lasagna-loving cat? That could be what the American box office has to offer this week. According to estimates published on Sunday, Furiosa Leading in the face of new adaptation GarfieldThis time in the form of an animated film.

But there’s less than a million dollars between the films of George Miller and Mark Dindale, so the trend could change after the numbers are adjusted. And this Memorial Day Monday, a holiday in the United States, can be enjoyed a second time. Even if the best medium screen at the moment is the Mad Max prequel Fury Road. which collected more than 45 million GEL for its debut in 2015.

Either the former or the latter, so Furiosa will be off to a disappointing start given the expectations it has generated. And if it doesn’t hit and maintain a good cruising speed in the coming weeks, it might be hard for it to do better than Fury Road , which was then considered a semi-disappointment, with $154.3 million at the box office and 380.4 worldwide.

Fall guy in front of Bullet Train?

But its two stars, Ryan Gosling and Emily Blunt, know especially well thanks to last summer’s success with Barbie and Oppenheimer: box office reading is no longer as easy as it was a few years ago. And sadly, it’s their last film that pays the price.

If it crosses 103 million for Bullet Train at the end of its run, it will still be a minor disappointment given what many predicted after Steven Spielberg praised the film adaptation of The Falling Man Peak. Especially since it’s already available on VOD in the US and thus has little chance of being skipped, allowing it to save on furniture.

In the rest of the ranking, challengers Staying in the top 10 for a fifth straight week, he can, why not, surf the news at Roland Garros to bid for a comeback. and Back black achieved its biggest drop of the weekend (-61.2% in revenue from the previous weekend and a cumulative total of . . 5 million), while the indie comedy grandfathersTaking advantage of its huge increase in the number of copies, it offers the most spectacular jump of a pleasant + 549.8%.
