It looks pretty good.
Quote:
Snatched from the Green Place of Many Mothers, young Furiosa falls into the hands of a great biker horde led by the warlord Dementus. Sweeping through the Wasteland, they come across the Citadel, presided over by the Immortan Joe. As the two tyrants fight for dominance, Furiosa soon finds herself in a nonstop battle to make her way home.
I saw a blurb about it this morning on The-Numbers but hadn't even heard about it until just now.
In fact, I didn't even know that George Miller produced and directed the 2015 Mad Max movie and was the guy who directed the original trilogy. I figured it was just another completely unrelated pre-woke era Hollywood cash grab.
I haven't seen a Mad Max movie since I was probably around 10 years old. I might have to watch all of them again, including the 2015 movie that apparently was well received.
As to the movie itself, we get very little background on her story other than she was taken away from her family and this is her "odyssey" to get back home. Depending on how it's done, this could be a believable and quite entertaining story. She's obviously going to be much more believable as an ass-kicker growing up as a kidnapped child in Mad Max World than the Vault Dweller girl from the Fallout TV show would be.
I love Anya Taylor-Joy. She was amazing as a mass-murdering science experiment gone wrong in 2016's Morgan, but please George, spare us a one on one battle scene between a nano-techless Anya Taylor-Joy and Chris Hemsworth where she bests him in physical combat or this movie is getting thrown right on top of the woke trash heap.

According to Google and Wikipedia, it cost $168 Million to make. That right their sets the failure in stone if it's true. It's not going to make more than $420 Million to break even. Bruce doesn't have numbers on the budget yet.
It made only $3.5 Million in previews, and his model's prediction is showing only $30 Million this weekend in the US, although he says that based off of Fury Road he thinks it could possibly make $40 Million in the US this weekend.
Fury road made 58% of its money overseas, so even a $40 Million opening here with internationals at the same rate as Fury Road would amount to an opening weekend of only about $103 Million, which would only be about 61% of the production budget, all but ensuring a pretty large failure here.
How much did Chris Hemsworth and Anya Taylor Joy make on this one?

LOL...
So much for hopes of $40 Million (or $103 Million worldwide). It didn't even make Bruce's computer model's $30 Million prediction.
$25,550,000 in the US for opening weekend. Wow.
It will get a million or two added once the real numbers come in, but not even close to $30 Million.
It's at $58.85 Million right now worldwide, with just over $60 million likely after the official numbers drop tomorrow.
This movie is already dead. Dead, dead, deadsky.
You better do something about those budgets now, Hollywood. Those poor actors are going to have to downgrade their mansions when they start getting paid what they're worth.

Oh yeah... This is also a worse opening weekend than both Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire ($61 Million) or The Fall Guy ($64.4 Million), even though it cost $68 Million more to make than Ghostbusters and $43 Million more than The Fall Guy.
Ghostbusters looks like it will eek out that $200 Million box office with $199.6 Million after 66 days in theaters. The Fall Guy at only $144 Million in 26 days has a long way to go to even hit that number.
Will Mad Max even hit $200 Million? Probably not.

Quote:The people whose names are in the credits want the movie to cost a vast fortune because that money goes into their bank accounts. Each movie might be their last and they want to go out with a blast. On the other hand, the people who financed the movie, whose names are not in the credits, want to keep the cost down, but they don't try particularly hard because the movie might accidentally be super successful so all the wastefulness in making the movie will make them richer. They are gamblers; if they weren't, they would exit the movie business.

Quote:The previous movie about Furiosa (Fury Road) has a feel good ending with Furiosa achieving all her goals. I am not spoiling this prequel by stating it has a feel bad ending. Yuck. That horrifying ending reduced ticket sales by hundreds of millions of dollars. Perhaps in an attempt to make the audience feel better, as they leave the theater, about the disgusting things Furiosa did a moment ago, the credits run much happier and uplifting scenes about Furiosa from the previous movie.

I'd wager people don't want to go see this because even if they could afford to under years of rampant Bidenflation* they have no desire to see the world that Democrats are making come true.

Quote:Per usual, more than half the tickets sales are from countries that are not America and do not have a President Biden. But you are still blaming Biden for poor ticket sales at movie theaters in other countries, 6ixStringJack.

By the way, Furiosa starts with a map of Australia, just as reminder that the movie is not happening in America. When climate change becomes an unmistakable disaster, the whole world will be in the disaster zone since the billion tons per week of carbon dioxide added to the atmosphere gets spread across the entire world. As a reminder that CO2 gas is a far bigger waste problem, the world produces only 2 billion tonnes per year of solid waste.
