tl;dr Furiosa's $25 million opening was lower than the expected $40 million that its predecessor Fury Road opened with. Could lose money on its $168 million budget.

Lower budgeted family friendly Garfield well on its way to profit on its reported $60 million budget.

“Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga,” $25.6 million.
“The Garfield Movie,” $24.8 million.
“IF,” $16.1 million.
“Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes,” $13.4 million.
“The Fall Guy,” $5.9 million.
“The Strangers: Chapter 1,” $5.6 million.
“Sight,” $2.7 million.”
“Challengers,” $1.4 million.
“Babes,” $1.1 million.
“Back to Black,” $1.1 million.

Yeah, my last few theater experiences weren't great. Toddlers screaming and adults talking on their phone (note: neither we're kids movies). I'm sorry, but that's not the experience I shelled out a bunch of money for. The home 65" might not be as immersive, but it's quiet and I can pause it to to go pee and that's a massive win in my book.
