What went wrong with Furiosa? I thought it was supposed to be much bigger than this.

I’m curious how a Furiosa sequel with Charlize Theron back would’ve done?

It's either feast or largely famine these days. I haven't seen it yet, but I never that pleased when a movie flops. |

I’m curious how a Furiosa sequel with Charlize Theron back would’ve done? I think if Theron was back, maybe it adds at least another 10-15 million dollars to the opening weekend. Not because Theron is a huge draw by herself, but because she originated the character of Furiosa, and the iconic quality of the role is due to her performance in it. Haven't seen it yet, but I'm generally hearing that Chris Hemsworth outshines Anya Taylor-Joy here, which should not be the case in a movie titled "Furiosa" (though George Miller allowed the same thing to happen to Tom Hardy's Mad Max in Fury Road, so who knows what goes through his head). I feel like Taylor-joy needed a big win with this film, as her career and trajectory post The Queen's Gambit has been mostly underwhelming. I'm not sure she's going to be the big A-list draw people expected. |

Some people are saying 9 years was too long a wait for the prequel, but I thought the cultural impact/chatter surrounding Fury Road was significant enough to keep anticipation high. And the reviews have been very strong. |

The average joe is going to cinemas only for something like an big screen adventure or an event film. The Mad Max franchise ticks those boxes but its also too weird for them. A Fury Road sequel with Tom Hardy would do slightly better but this franchise has limited appeal is what it is.

And the reviews have been very strong. Sadly, long term relevancy crossing over to future success is like rolling a dice. Maybe Fury Road wasn't that mainstream, i.e. another Blade Runner 2049, still a pretty significant drop-off, because even though people like to say FR lost money, it still over performed on its opening weekend from in its initial paltry tracking. |

Cinema is really at its lowest point. Just 10 years ago a boring ass film like American Hustle could make 250 million+ in the box office. Today a Mad Max prequel probably wouldn’t even gross half of that.

Wow, that horrible. I didn't realize it was memorial day weekend because of the poor movie selection.

Fury Road made 45 million in their opening weekend. Furiosa is probably going to open with about 26 million. That's not good for the franchise going forward. The Fall Guy may indeed open with more money. I think this has everything to do with the streaming universe. You can literally order these on video on demand within a month of its original release.
