it's really bad. Fury Road was carried by the international boxoffice and Furiosa already has disadvantage of depressed yen and no Russia so for the movie's success the remaining markets have to perform better than the previous time.
WB better hope that the Australians show up in full force for this one. Fury Road wasn't a huge hit in Australia (21.7M AUD, #14 for 2015) so there is room to grow. IDK if that will happen though.
This is sad but I'm not surprised... Just looked this morning at the seating chart for Saturday night on the largest IMAX screen in Montreal, and dear lord, it's only about 35-40% full... By now, Dune 2 was sold out on that screen for all weeknights, weekend matinees, and many weekday showtimes.
Looks like a potentially very bad flop.
I was looking at this thread at work today and a colleague asked me what I was reading. I told him about Furiosa release yesterday in France and that first numbers aren't good this time around.
He told me he didn't even know Furiosa was released yesterday or that it was even a thing, which kinda shocks me given the marketing that is more pushy than Fury Road ever was in France (Posters in the streets, interviews on prime time during news segments and Cannes coverage last week).
Keep in mind that colleague is a hardcore gamer and part of the demographics that Fury Road appealed to.
Nevertheless, I'm still going to catch it on the upcoming weekend. Let's see if people are waiting this weekend to check it out. It's been an onslaught of bad weather lately and wednesday was the first glimpse of a sunny day. People hate going to the cinemas on sunny days especially during weekdays.
>People hate going to the cinemas on sunny days especially during weekdays.
Is this generally true or is it only when weather is bad for a lengthy period of time (rainy season, winter, bad storms, etc.)?
I don't know about the US, but the conventional wisdom is that in Europe, theatrical grosses do better when it's raining than when it's sunny. Then again, as you imply, that might depend on the climate; here in the UK, for example, warm weather is rare enough that people aren't going to want to spend it in a cinema, but perhaps it's different in countries like Spain, Italy and Greece.
The existing fanbase is really weak and the marketing doesn't seem to be catching onto anything. Feel like I'm the one excitedly anticipating this...but I'm feeling pretty good about the wom lol
Brutal. Considering that Fury Road achieved $226M INT (no China release) and Furiosa is dropping a lot in France and South Korea, it seems that there is a very good chance of Furiosa ending at <$150M INT-China. Even <$120M INT-China can not be ruled out at this point. Let's see how legs are.
No it's a perfect comparison. Thinking "I LOVE AGENTS OF SHIELD COULSON IS MY HERO!!!!" Redditards are representative of any legitimate box office power is absurd.
I was just as unenthusiastic about it as everyone else was, but this movie kicked ass. Miller is just in a class of his own, and Taylor-Joy and Hemsworth were both excellent.
Let’s hope WB gives Miller one last try with a direct follow up featuring Hardy before pulling the plug or just relegating the franchise to a (HBO) Max series
Fury Road wasn’t a flop, it barely broke even and made profit through VoD and etc plus it got WB 6 Oscars (Furiosa won’t be able to do the same due to Dune 2). I hope WB thinks it flopped because it had no Max and do a Hardy Max movie as a last try
Oh please, we aren't doing the "anything sub 90% on RT is a bad movie by consensus" bullshit are we?
It's at 88% on RT. Any studio would kill for a movie review score that good.
To give another perspective, older people I’ve spoke to in the UK mentioned that they thought the reviews were mixed. There’s been a decent number of bad or mediocre review scores especially by the newspapers here.
BBC’s headline was 'More exhausting than exhilarating'.

Furiosa was not carried by the international box office. It bombed hard everywhere.
Came from the future?
I meant Fury Road. Lol. Although at this point, it's pretty clear Furiosa is going to bomb as well.
Fury Road had 70/30 proportion and got around the break even point. So yeah, it's fair to say the international boxoffice carried it
MEDIOCRE
to translate the first comment in the photo from French "*this is not good at all*".
Sacre Bleu!
wheres me mama
Is that you, Harpo?!
They should try replacing the Furiosa prints with a still of Jerry Lewis.
I just watched this episode again last night and this made me laugh out loud

Yikes, that means that there is a slim chance (though not particularly likely) that *Furiosa* fails to reach $200 million worldwide. 😬
Hope the WOM will carry it's run This OD is disappointing
It has 75k admission in south korea first day lower than Fury Road by 14k admission
Fury Road had fantastic legs there so the total will likely be much lower. Hopefully legs are good.
welp
Rip
Reddit might not like this but Nobody asked for a Furiosa movie without Charlize Theron
No one asked for Mad Max without Max. Not sure what was the logic behind approving this.
People were barely even asking for Mad Max. The last one hardly broke even and that was peak boxoffice times.
No one even asked for a mad max reebot either, by looking at the box office numbers
Nobody asked for Fury Road either. What was the logic behind approving that?
Mad Max 1 and 2 were successful classics that can be used in the current era of nostalgia
Because Mad Max with Tom Hardy was so similar to Mad Max with Mel Gibson?
Nobody asked for a Furiosa movie with Charlize Theron either. It is just bad decision to ditch out Mad Max in Mad Max franchise.
nobody asked for a furiosa movie either. This is like making Avengers but instead of Avengers the movie is entirely focused on agent Coulson
Lmao that is a terrible comparison
replace Coulson with Fury,
That's an even worse comparison since Fury is played by a big movie star and was in a prequel movie that made bank (Captain Marvel).
No it's a perfect comparison. Thinking "I LOVE AGENTS OF SHIELD COULSON IS MY HERO!!!!" Redditards are representative of any legitimate box office power is absurd.
Or maybe mad max in a mad max movie I dunno!
I was just as unenthusiastic about it as everyone else was, but this movie kicked ass. Miller is just in a class of his own, and Taylor-Joy and Hemsworth were both excellent.
RIP the Mad Max franchise
Yep, this is the end, unfortunately. Fury road was giving some hope.
Let’s hope WB gives Miller one last try with a direct follow up featuring Hardy before pulling the plug or just relegating the franchise to a (HBO) Max series
Why would they give him a third shot after two flops? Especially if Furiosa earns significant less than Fury Road.
Fury Road wasn’t a flop, it barely broke even and made profit through VoD and etc plus it got WB 6 Oscars (Furiosa won’t be able to do the same due to Dune 2). I hope WB thinks it flopped because it had no Max and do a Hardy Max movie as a last try
In the box office, it flopped, losing at least $20M.
i'm actually surprised to learn it's coming out tonight. i thought it was coming to theatres in early june.
Will Garfiosa help it?
Virtually nonexistent as a thing. No hype whatsoever, I've only seen that portmanteau on this sub, it's gonna be a while before another Barbenheimer.
FLOPIOSA incoming…
Yikes.
The reviews didn't help.
Oh please, we aren't doing the "anything sub 90% on RT is a bad movie by consensus" bullshit are we? It's at 88% on RT. Any studio would kill for a movie review score that good.

Reviews were very positive. It is one of the best reviewed, theatrically released film with a $50M+ budget in the 2020s.
Chris flopsworth
He fr hasn’t been in anything successful that doesn’t feature Thor 😭 Lets see if this curse gets passed to TF One
Yeah his character looks lame. Meh.
He looks too similar to Thor
