A battle for the top of the UK box office happened this weekend and where
Furiosa was the favourite to win it ended up with
The Garfield Movie topping the UK box office.
The big orange cat this week took £2.1 Million at the UK box office, compared to the last big screen Garfield movie, Garfield 2 from 2006, this is higher as that movie took £739,560.
Making a new entry at number 2 is the latest in the now long running Mad Max saga, Furiosa which just misses out on a place at he top having taken just under £2 Million on its debut.
Last weeks number 1 film, IF falls to number 3 this weekend after a single week at the top and has taken £4.6 Million to date.
