Memorial Day Box Office Hits 26-Year Low
Theatrical business faces challenges from strike-induced delays, lack of major hits, and shifting audience habits.
- 'Furiosa' leads with $32 million, the lowest Memorial Day weekend No. 1 since 1995.
- Total box office for the weekend reached just $128 million, down 37% from last year.
- Hollywood strikes have led to a reduced slate of films, impacting box office performance.
- Absence of a major Marvel release contributed to the weak start of the summer season.
- Upcoming releases like 'Inside Out 2' and 'Deadpool & Wolverine' are expected to boost numbers.
