At the previews on Thursday evening Garfield – A tasty mission grossed $1.9 million, which should translate into a long weekend gross of around $35 million: family films do quite well on Memorial Day, so it’s not out of the question that the performance will be better than expected, even if the competition of IF – Imaginary friends it will be felt.
