Will Mad Max even hit $200 Million? Probably not.
I'd probably add my reasoning for this as context...Quote:
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.
This was regarding Furiosa's paltry $58.5 Million worldwide opening weekend on it's $168 Million budget.
Furiosa cost quite a bit more to make than both of these other movies, yet its opening was the weakest of the 3. Ghostbusters hit $200 Million worldwide when rounding up, but there's a pretty decent chance now that it doesn't even hit a legitimate $200 Million before it exits theaters even though it is only $350k short of that, given how little it is making per day and how few theaters it's still being shown in.
And I have some serious doubts that The Fall Guy will even hit $200 Million too. That one still needs another $56.2 Million to get there and it won't ever make over $1 Million per day on week days again (save possibly today's holiday) and probably has only one weekend left where it will hit over $1 Million per day over the weekend. And it appears the US/International gross income is a virtual 50/50 split, so however poorly it does in the US from here on out will likely be mirrored in the international money. I'm not going to put an exact figure on my prediction for The Fall Guy yet, but I doubt it hits $200 Million worldwide and I imagine it will fall quite a bit shorter from that landmark than Ghostbusters did.

Regarding Ghostbusters...
I posted in the Cinema boards yesterday that Bruce found some money in the international couch cushions for Ghostbusters. After writing the above, he raised Ghostbuster's worldwide take over $800k, when only a tiny fraction of that was from the US Box office and the 228 theaters it was showing in last week.
I had predicted $200 Million for Ghostbusters back on April 29th, and without finding more international money it's very likely that this movie doesn't hit $201 Million.
Regarding Fall Guy...
As I suspected, it didn't make $1 Million at all this week except for Memorial Day. I'm surprised that it actually made $1.9 Million on Monday, but that won't change much. Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday combined brought in about $100k less than Monday did. And even though it only lost about 100 theaters this weekend it only pulled in $1.1 Million on Friday night.
Without keeping track of internationals weekly, it's hard to compare exactly where one flick was against another flick at the same point in time. Ghostbusters pulled in $1,047,918 on its 5th Friday, and Fall Guy just pulled in $1,190,000 on the same day. There is also a virtual 50/50 split on US/International gross for Fall Guy, where there is a 56/44 split on Ghostbusters. This would lead one to believe that Fall Guy has a much better shot to hit $200 Million than Ghostbusters did, but Fall Guy also had the benefit of an additional weekend in many international markets before the US release, and that will be reflected at the tail end of its run. I'm still bearish that this movie won't hit $200 Million, but it might get there. I doubt it though.
Regarding Furiosa...
It only made just a hair more than $3 Million on its 2nd Friday. Fall Guy made $3.5 Million and Ghostbusters made $5.5 million in their 2nd

Has he not been paying attention to anything?
How could he know that "Chapter 1" wasn't going to be a massive box office flop before he even started working on it?

Nobody wants to buy anything related to gay space witches, huh? Imagine that.
Let's not kid ourselves though. Disney already killed Star Wars a long time ago. Nobody is buying any of their crap anymore.
Don't bother trying to fix what you broke, Disney. You'll never get the old fans back.

The culture Hollywood has created 'holes' in its cinema, by doing so you might argue they have pushed 'Entropy' a scientific concept and rulethat is most commonly associated with a state of disorder, randomness, they think by having big swiss cheese holes in cinema it is orderly but the ironic thing it is not. On our Planet Earth the Law of Nature Hate a 'Void' or 'a Vacuum state' if you dig a hole something will fall in, more dirt, maybe sand, an animal or person or water or plant growing from seed will fall into that hole and eventually fill it.
'Demon Slayer' will not be the last Japan product to be successful in the USA, the products will appear in other cinema in Argentina, in France, in Australia, in Germany, the Japanese Godzilla had a Budget $12 million and made a Box office of $116 million
something will fill that hole, even an ordinary product from Japan, an inside US or European movie, even a Bollywood will make more money a South Korea movie or Japan film.
a big bonus over Hollyweird culture...less political lectures...the Japanese are also known to keep budgets Low, sometimes fills the holes Hollweird culture creates, there have been many foreign products Penélope Cruz in Volver, Das Boot, Downfall, La Vie En Rose, the Chinese ' Hero' film, Kung Fu Hustle, Lust Caution, Monsoon Wedding, Cinema Paradiso, Del Toro's movie Pan's Labyrinth...more south Korean movies and more Japan cartoons

The Canadian American company Lionsgate seem finished now, a small company becomes an international brand then dies? maybe it could have bought some video game property?? from its peak of The Hunger Games franchise, and Twilight movies in years 2008, Divergent Series seems mixed later it seems it failed to evolve and now a total failure.
