‘Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga’ & ‘The Garfield Movie” release to a 26-year Memorial Day box office low.
Industry analysts attribute this downturn to a combination of factors, including the aftermath of last year’s strikes, the absence of major franchises like Marvel, and changing audience behaviours post-pandemic.
As audiences become more selective and opt for home releases, studios face the challenge of adapting their strategies to meet evolving consumer preferences. Despite the current slump, hope remains for a summer rebound with anticipated releases like Disney/Pixar’s “Inside Out 2,” suggesting a potential turnaround in the latter half of 2024. #trending
