Rebecca Rubin Senior Film and Media Reporter “The Garfield Movie” clawed its way to first place, overtaking last weekend’s champion “Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga” at the domestic box office.

This weekend (unlike last) wasn’t a nail-biter as “Garfield” effortlessly pulled ahead with $14 million from 4,108 theaters in its second weekend of release while “Furiosa” trailed in third place with $10.7 million from 3,864 venues in its sophomore outing.

Now, Sony’s “The Garfield Movie” has grossed $51.5 million in North America and $152 million globally to date. It’s a solid showing for the $60 million-budgeted film. “Furiosa,” the fifth entry in Warner Bros.

and director George Miller’s post-apocalyptic “Mad Max” series, has generated $49.6 million domestically. With a $168 million price tag, the R-rated tentpole has a much steeper path to profitability.
