This article covers a developing story. Continue to check back with us as we will be adding more information as it becomes available. The Big Picture The record-breaking performance of Disney-Pixar's Inside Out 2 in the past 10 days meant that Sony’s The Garfield Movie continued taking hits as it entered its fifth week of release.
This is more in line with post-pandemic norms. In recent years, studios have been restricting the budgets of animated movies to under $100 million. While this has certainly increased profit margins, the impact on animators has been considerable. Recent hits such as Kung Fu Panda 4, Puss in Boots: The Last Wish, and Migration, were all produced for less than $100 million. Even last year’s The Super Mario Bros. Movie cost around $100 million, and grossed over $1.3 billion worldwide.
On the bright side, The Garfield Movie is the highest-grossing film based on Jim Davis’s iconic comic strip character. Two live-action/animation films were released around two decades ago, grossing a combined total of $350 million worldwide. Also featuring Samuel L. Jackson, Hannah Waddingham, and Nicholas Hoult, The Garfield Movie is playing in theaters. Stay tuned to Collider for more updates.
