Garfield Hints at a New Adventure in The Garfield Movie’s Post-Credits Scene!
In the post-credits scene of The Garfield Movie—a Garfield comic strip appears on screen—with Garfield saying, “Why are you still here? Oh, I get it! You’re waiting for the sequel!” This hints that another Garfield adventure is on the way.
The Garfield Movie was released on May 24, 2024, in the United States by Columbia Pictures through Sony Pictures Releasing, and it grossed $257 million worldwide against a $60 million budget.
