Though “Garfield” gets first-place bragging rights, it’s another terrible weekend at the box office with ticket sales a staggering 65% behind the same three-day period in 2023. As a result, overall revenues remain 24% behind last year and more than 40% below pre-pandemic times. In other words, Hollywood and movie theaters desperately need some hits on the horizon to help shrink the gap. David A. Gross of movie consulting firm Franchise Entertainment Research believes that last year’s dual labor strikes are responsible for this year’s summer woes. Plenty of big movies were pushed to 2025 and beyond as Hollywood effectively shut down for months.
