Star Wars fans who want good stories and characters: “They just told me you were a shite producer. The fact that you’re a woman never came up.”

The North American box office over Memorial Day Weekend might be described as a wasteland, with “Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga” and “The Garfield Movie” pulling in disappointing holiday opening numbers, according to industry estimates....
Because the article doesn’t say, the American box office numbers for the week of Memorial Day 1995 (unadjusted):
Casper - $25,511,615 (opening week)
Die Hard with a Vengeance - $22,492,166 (-24.7% week over week)
Braveheart - $15,571,948 (+489.3% week over week)
Crimson Tide - $15,116,928 (-3.1% week over week)
Forget Paris - $8,974,170 - (+13.9 week over week)
(Sixth place was the premier of Johnny Mnemonic at only 8.9 million.)
Keanu Reeve, Bruce Willis, Denzel Washington, and Mel Gibson all got beat by Bill Pullman!
I remember seeing Casper in the theaters with my family, and it’s entirely possible it was over Memorial Day weekend. Which means I might be partially responsible for this. 🙃
