Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga actors Anya Taylor-Joy and Chris Hemsworth with director George Miller at the Cannes Film Festival in France on May 16.
Box-office analysts expected the film to take in about US$5.4 million on May 27, for a holiday-weekend total of US$31 million. There, the movie received exceptional reviews. “With summer holidays beginning this week, the film is well-positioned for a long theatrical run,” Sony said, adding that it had successfully relaunched the lasagna-loving character as a movie franchise.
“Moviegoers do not want prequel origin stories”, where significant franchise characters are “portrayed not by the actor who originated and defined them, but by a younger, less-famous performer”, Mr Scott Mendelson, a box-office analyst who publishes a subscription newsletter, wrote on May 25. There has also been a lack of momentum at the box office, noted Mr Paul Dergarabedian, a senior Comscore media analyst.Hollywood’s summer season started with The Fall Guy, which arrived to US$28 million in ticket sales in May – the lowest summer kick-off since 1995. The April box office suffered from a shortage of movies, which studios blamed on lingering fallout from union strikes in 2023.
