The Garfield Movie social media and review embargo details have been shared. The movie also appears to be a success in Brazil based on early estimates.
Sony Pictures is distributing The Garfield Movie which is based on the titular character. It features a charming animation style and the main character is voiced by Chris Pratt. There are other big celebrities in the voice cast too.
Review Embargo for The Garfield Movie
Sony has put a social media embargo for The Garfield Movie until May 12, while the full review embargo has been set for May 19. The movie is officially set to premiere worldwide beginning May 24, so this should give it plenty of buzz until the launch.
Early reports appear to indicate that it might be a hit too, at least in Brazil. It is tracking ahead of the The Super Mario Bros. Movie in Brazil. Nintendo and Universal’s The Super Mario Bros. Movie was a blockbuster in 2023. It grossed more than 1 billion dollars worldwide. While The Garfield Movie is unlikely to hit that number, anything over $500 million will be a success for Sony.
The Garfield Movie is a highly anticipated animated comedy-adventure film based on Jim Davis’ beloved comic strip “Garfield.” Columbia Pictures and Alcon Entertainment are developing the movie, which is set to release on May 24, 2024. Directed by Mark Dindal, the screenplay was written by David Reynolds, Paul A. Kaplan, and Mark Torgove.
The movie boasts a star-studded cast including Chris Pratt as the voice of Garfield, Samuel L. Jackson, Hannah Waddingham, and other notable actors lending their voices to the film. The animation is being handled by DNEG Animation, and Sony Pictures Releasing will handle the distribution.
The plot follows Garfield, the iconic lasagna-loving cat who hates Mondays. The story begins when Garfield reunites with his estranged father, Vic, a rugged street cat voiced by Samuel L. Jackson. Alongside his loyal canine friend Odie, Garfield gets caught up in a high-stakes heist that takes him far beyond his usual comfortable life.
