After going toe-to-toe with Garfield last weekend, Warner Bros.’ Furiosa is now in battle with Paramount Picture’s IF for the No. 2 slot. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Furiosa earned an estimated $10.75 million at the domestic box office over the weekend, while IF took in an estimated $10.8 million over the Friday to Sunday frame.
Of course, Furiosa could end up with the No. 2 slot once the final numbers are tallied. If the estimates hold up, IF’s running take domestically will be $80.4 million while Furiosa’s through Sunday is $49.6 million. Adding in the international box office tallies for both films, IF has earned $138 million worldwide while Furiosa has taken in $114.4 million in global ticket sales.

Another Sony Pictures Entertainment film, Haikyu!! The Dumpster Battle, made it into this weekend’s top 10 at the domestic box office in its debut weekend. A product of Sony’s Crunchyroll studios, the anime feature took the No. 6 slot with an estimated domestic take of $3.5 million.
While the box office was sluggish this week, things should liven up on June 7 when Sony’s Bad Boys: Ride or Die with Will Smith and Martin Lawrence opens. The film marks the big-screen return of Will Smith, who has been persona non grata in Hollywood and with fans since the Chris Rock slapping controversy at the Oscars in 2022.
The final numbers for the weekend box office will be released Monday.
