to remember

It was already closed last week Furiosa Don’t be sour Garfield. But it was only a delay. Because Mad Max prequel Fury Road gave up that throne, which it only held for one week at the American box office, which is ultimately not that surprising or unexpected.

Worse: Estimates released this Sunday, June 2, see George Miller’s feature film drop two spots to third on the podium. But he could use custom pointers to regain control Blue and Companywhich continues its merry way with limited losses, making it the most stable of the films of the leading trio.

A trio dominated by Garfield, a new (animated) adaptation of the famous comic book. In which the lazy, lasagna-loving cat is voiced by Chris Pratt in the original version. After an encouraging start, the film is leading the weak box office and should easily do better than the previous two opuses handled by Bill Murray. in the United States and around the world.

Which is not the case for Furiosa , which has its wheels stuck in the sand and which pundits predict will end its global run at around $200 million. Or half the score of 2015’s Mad Max Fury Road, which is already considered a disappointment. Is it enough to sound the death knell of the saga in cinema when George Miller declares that he still has his benefits?

The status quo among blockbusters

So we’ll have to go back to find a blockbuster that can rock the US box office (Bad Boys 4, expected this Friday across the Atlantic?). Because behind the three leaders, planet of the apes and autumn boy don’t move Without any sparks as the two feature films end up below expectations.

In the rest of the rating, let’s note the pleasant performance of the anime HAIKYÛ!! Garbage War (due in our theaters on June 12), which offers the second best average copy after Garfield. And an encouraging start in a violent natureA horror film focusing on the villain’s point of view that has no release date in France.
