There is no fucking way that's an actual headline, right?

I also saw one that talks about Garfield topping Furiosa
It fucking is!
The crossover event of the decade!
I completely misread it at first lmao!
Because the article doesn't say, the American box office numbers for the week of Memorial Day 1995 (unadjusted):
- Casper - $25,511,615 (opening week)
- Die Hard with a Vengeance - $22,492,166 (-24.7% week over week)
- Braveheart - $15,571,948 (+489.3% week over week)
- Crimson Tide - $15,116,928 (-3.1% week over week)
- Forget Paris - $8,974,170 - (+13.9 week over week)
(Sixth place was the premier of Johnny Mnemonic at only 8.9 million.)
Keanu Reeve, Bruce Willis, Denzel Washington, and Mel Gibson all got beat by Bill Pullman!
I remember seeing Casper in the theaters with my family, and it's entirely possible it was over Memorial Day weekend. Which means I might be partially responsible for this. π
I watched Casper in theatres more times than is reasonable
Young me had such a crush on him...
The wake up scene?
Oh no. A shitty prequel didn't convince people to spend money during a cost of living crisis. Boo-hoo for the poor actors and crew.
You good?
Been better, been worse friend.
Did you ever find that dingo?
No and that rapper is still at large
This is sad to see. It's a great movie except for the inherent spoilers due to it being a prequel (instead of going "oh shit" you go "ah, this is where she loses her arm"), and it deserves better than bombing. I hope it recovers in the next couple of weeks, but at this rate they'll probably cancel The Wasteland.
She's just mashing it.
Well that headline sure put some weird images in my head.
Phrasing
They just let that one right in the front door, didnβt they
Really? There wasn't a Memorial Day during COVID that was worse?
I didn't know about either of them, so there you go.
Damn. I saw Garfield. It wasn't good. Doing worse at the box office is quite a feat to achieve with cool car special effects, in play.
Admittedly, I didn't previously believe that Bill Murray could talk for two hours without saying a single funny thing.
(Edit: What. The fuck. They made another Garfield movie. This year. Society is truly doomed to repeat it's worst mistakes. I haven't seen that one. I will take no part in this depravity.)
I guess there's still new horizons out there...
I though Furiosa was good, not as amazing as the first one but not bad either. It felt a bit unnecessarily stretched though. Sad to see it bomb, it definitely wasn't a bad movie.
