I hadn’t thought of that angle – I was focusing on how “decent” if mediocre the movie was, and I figured that was the only factor behind why it performed so poorly. “Garfield” did very well and, counting international sales per BoxOfficeMojo, likely already made back the total cost of its production and marketing (I’m guessing that was another $30m + the $60m, which the film has already surpassed).

There’s something to be said for modest budgets, especially since “Furiosa’s” special effects weren’t very good.
