USA box office on the Memorial Day weekend of May 2024 is down 38% compared to last year when "The Little Mermaid" was the top-grossing movie.  "Furiosa: A Mad Max Story" and "The Garfield Movie" are duking it out for the top spot this weekend.

And it's down 44% compared to the 2018 peak when "Solo: A Star Wars Story" ruled the weekend box office.

Imperator Furiosa has battled ruthless kidnappers, raider attacks and maniacal warlords as she traverses a lawless Wasteland. And yet her fiercest adversary, at least today, seems to be a lazy cat who loves lasagna. 
The Warner Bros. high-octane prequel “Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga” is facing off against Sony’s animated “The Garfield Movie” for first place on box office charts over Memorial Day weekend. Each movie has generated roughly $25 million over the weekend and an estimated $31 million through Monday. Both studios are reporting that its own movie has ranked No. 1. Whichever pulls ahead, it’ll be the worst Memorial Day opening weekend in nearly three decades.

2020 and 2021 submitted their excuses to the director's office.
