2013 holds the record for the Memorial Day Weekend box office champion. That year, “Fast & Furious 6” dominated with over $117 million earned just in the U.S., while other blockbusters like “The Hangover Part III,” “Star Trek Into Darkness,” “Epic,” “Iron Man 3,” and “The Great Gatsby” also performed exceptionally well, collectively driving the domestic box office to a whopping $314 million. Memorial Day Weekend is known for hosting major movies that boost revenue, such as “Aladdin” in 2019, “X-Men: Days of Future Past” in 2014, and “Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull” in 2008. It’s typical for the highest-grossing film to earn more than $100 million over the weekend. To surpass this mark, multiple movies need to perform well, and that’s exactly what’s happening in 2025.
