FRIDAY AFTERNOON: Alcon/Sony’s The Garfield Movie is showing his teeth against Warner Bros’ Furiosa in a second weekend faceoff between the two, $12M+ to $11.3M.
Today Garfield is looking at $3.3M at 4,018 theaters, while Furiosa has $3M at 3,864. Garfield‘s week two hold is -53% off the 3-day, while Furiosa isn’t shabby at -57%. By Sunday, Garfield‘s running total will stand at $49.5M, while Furiosa will be at $50.2M.
Furiosa still has Imax auditoriums, but Crunchyroll/Sony’s Haikyu!! The Dumpster Battle has some of those, that pic looking at a No. 5 slot with $2M today and around $4M for the weekend. Remember when it comes to these anime movies, the U.S. market is simply gravy money, much like domestic is for Bollywood movies. Dumpster Battle has already made $75M from Japan, Vietnam, South Korea and Hong Kong.
Paramount’s IF in weekend 3 is seeing $2.6M today at 3,783 theaters, and a 3-day of $9.8M, -39% for a running total of $79.4M by Sunday.
20th Century Studios’ Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes is seeing a fourth Friday of $2.1M at 3,450 theaters, 3-day of $7.8M, -41%, and running total of $138.9M. By Sunday through weekend 4, the sequel’s cume will be pacing 7% ahead of previous chapter War for the Planet of the Apes, that movie ending its run at $146.8M.
Outside the top 5, IFC’s horror movie In a Violent Nature is looking great. Last night the movie posted the best previews for an IFC movie ever at $410k for what’s shaping up to be a $1M. While their Late Night With the Devil posted IFC’s biggest opening ever at $2.8M and looks to be their highest grossing horror movie ever at $10M, In a Violent Nature is eyeing a very strong opening with an estimated $2.2M in 1,426 locations.
