The Garfield Movie took a lukewarm start at the Indian Box Office. The movie couldn’t match the collections of Kingdom Of The Planet Of The Apes on its second Friday at the box office and that’s not too good as the ape movie netted well under Rs 1 crore on day 8 in the first place. The popularity of the character of Garfield was perhaps overestimated in India and the theatrical start has come as a reality check.

About The Garfield Movie
One stormy night, little Garfield (voiced by Chris Pratt) is left in the shade of a garbage bin by his father Vic (voiced by Samuel L Jackson), as he goes to search for food. Little Garfield sees a boy Jon (voiced by Nicholas Hault) having pizzas at a restaurant across the street and goes to the window. Jon, who is quite lonely himself, is kind enough to offer him his food and then also take him home.
Garfield grows to be a food-loving and home-loving cat, who is having the time of his life, except for the Mondays in which he is taken to the vet. One night, Garfield and Odie, Jon’s pet dog, are kidnapped and dragged into a mess that Vic has found himself in. The story that follows, shows how the trio go about their mission in hand, make new friends along, get out of the mess and take their revenge.
