Why do you think Furiosa bombed so hard?

[Speaker For The Dead]

I'm really good at predicting box office, but was totally off on this one.

Thought it was going to do big business. 25 million is disastrous, and I don't really get why nobody went to see it.

Your theories?

[Ruckman_Void]

Anyone remember seeing the first movie back in the 80's when it was all mindblowing?

I mean I loved the post-POKYCLYPSE stuff - and at the age I was when Thunderdome came out it had me hooked. And what a cast!

The whole pscho kid gets a second chance then his newbuilt life is torn away so he loses all humanity for revenge, followed by loner with dog survives oil wars and societal breakdown, followed by psycho wastelander finds his humanity again - great story arc

But each film has been quite different from each other.

I really didn't enjoy Fury Road - as corny as parts of the original movie are, Fury Road was distractingly odd. And the plotline didn't grab me. The grossout baby scenes were too distracting too. The idiot with the guitar....

The game was ace!

But yep how can you have a Mad Max film and not even feature him at all? Other posters have hit the nail on the head of why it flopped

How can you have Star Wars movie that is not about a star war.

This line of reasoning doesn't make sense.

According to people like you, movies like Venom or Joker have no reason to exist or be successful, because they are not about Spiderman or Batman. Again, this makes no sense.

The movie is called "Furiosa". It takes place in the same universe as "Fury Road" And the movie does include Mad Max. Anybody who is claiming that the movie does not include Mad Max have not seen the movie or have been sleeping through it. (Or did not understand one specific scene).

No mate THAT makes no sense

If it was a film called Joker and had no Joker then I'd feel the same about that too.

And your Star Wars crack is an odd one as well

EDIT - and guess what, this is just my opinion. Like I said, Each film has been quite different from each other, and there are people who like and dislike various entries into the franchise

I once had a girlfriend break up with me because I told a joke about women's driving skills.

I'm not going to repeat that error because I'm pretty sure that ex-girlfriend helped program the AI moderator here.

I only saw the poster at a buss stop. It had Chris Hemsworth in it, which made me feel like it would have a comedy routine like in Marvel movies, and I'm not into those. Furiosa as a character I don't mind, she was great in Fury Road.

Objectively speaking, I don't think she has the same pull as Mad Max to Mad Max fans, though. So Mad Max fans would probably be like "no Mad Max in my Mad Max movie? Why would I want to watch that?"

What was the joke? Common, you can tell us.... what's the worst that can happen? The FBI breaking your door and arresting you for bad jokes?

Fine...

There was a TV commercial at the time where this young woman was borrowing her father's car to go out for the night. As she leaves the house with the keys, the father silently watches her go. The narrator comes on and says, "If you don't teach her about drinking and driving, who will?"

My reply was, "The father can certainly teacher to drink, but..."

Lol, that was not even close to as bad as I thought it would be, given your previous description :P.

Movies are not the same anymore.
One spectrum you have movies going on streaming apps faster than ever, paying the same price to OWN the movie than to see it once.
Plus, movies are getting lazier and lazier these days giving the stigma that movies are becoming not worthwhile.

I totally do not regret seeing some movies in the threatre, Oppenheimer and Dune Part 2 were majestic works of art that I had the pleasure of seeing in IMAX. I will also being see Furisoa in IMAX too soon, but that's the idea of it so far.

[Krypto]

We already knew the outcome.

Well, her reaction was a whole lot worse than I was expecting at the time too!

No telling who the AI moderator will go off on next either.

[Original Cast Recording]

Was not particularly excited about the carnival barker Hemsworth villain guy, tbh. But if I still went to movies as often as I used to, I probably would've seen it. Probably would've seen Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare, too.

RIP movies.

But the film is not called "Mad Max". It is called "Furiosa". That it has a subtilte like "A Mad Max Saga" is probably the same studio meddling that gave us "The Glass Onion - A Knives Out Mystery" or "Solo - A Star Wars Story". Not the directors fault.

No, he is genuinely intimitading. He is clearly insane. I mean, his characters name is "Dementus". He is funny at times, due to Hemsworhts charisma but this comes more out from his pure insanity. He is not silly. He makes Immortan Joe look reasonable and tolerable.
I think Hemsworth was great.
