The animated flick The Garfield Movie is all set to release in India on Friday, May 17, a week before its release in North America and major markets on May 24. The buzz is tremendous for the film in the West and as per Variety, it’s all set to open at $35 million in the weekend, despite clashing with Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga. What’s interesting to note is that worldwide, audiences watching The Garfield Movie will see the mention of an Indian production house in the beginning slate and end credits.
It has come to light that Prime Focus, an Indian studio known for delivering VFX in local and international films, is one of the producers of The Garfield Movie. As soon as the film begins, the logo of Prime Focus is displayed along with Sony Pictures, Columbia Pictures, Alcon Entertainment etc. And in the end credits, Namit Malhotra’s name in big bold letters is mentioned as one of the producers.
Interestingly, Prime Focus was also one of the producers of Brahmastra. Released in 2022, this Ranbir Kapoor-Alia Bhatt starrer was loved for its concept, performances, music and of course VFX that matched global standards. If all goes well, Prime Focus will also be a part of one of the most awaited films, Ramayana, starring Ranbir Kapoor, Sai Pallavi and Yash of KGF fame. However, as per recent reports, Prime Focus is yet to fulfill the payment terms to producer Madhu Mantena.
Prime Focus has delivered VFX in several significant Hollywood films like Harry Potter series, Tenet, Dunkirk, films of the Marvel Cinematic Universe including Avengers: Endgame, Mission Impossible films, Fast & Furious films, movies of the DC Universe, Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire etc.
After The Garfield Movie, Prime Focus has also produced Animal Friends, which is a live action-cum-animated film starring Ryan Reynolds and Jason Momoa. It is expected to be released in 2025.
