The box office performance of 'Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga' has raised concerns about the challenges faced by the Mad Max films in theaters. Despite positive aspects like high Rotten Tomatoes scores and standout performances, issues such as poor marketing, lack of marquee stars, and audience fatigue with the series have been highlighted. The film's divergence in style and story from 'Fury Road' has received mixed reviews, with criticisms of excessive chase scenes and distracting CGI. The movie's underperformance at the box office has sparked discussions about the future of the Mad Max franchise and the broader movie industry.
This STILL rules. Hell yes. The Octoboss vs War Rig showdown is another phenomenal action sequence they pull off perfectly. Love it. And then Chris Hemsworth gives a killer madman performance for the ages, his finale scenes are unforgettable. What a picture. 👏🏻👏🏻 #Furiosa https://t.co/IPlLDbixC1

Just interviewed Tom Holkenborg aka Junkie XL (for Furiosa). Fascinating to hear about working w/ George Miller. For 3000 Years he wrote a theme that the cast could listen to ON set. For Furiosa, Miller only showed him it later after editing finished to "see it once" then begin.
Furiosa slays so hard and I don't understand why it was a box office flop

Hahaha holy shit #Furiosa is fucking amazing.
I loved Furiosa. I wish it kept going for at least 17 more hours. George Miller’s Wasteland is my favorite post-apocalyptic world by far. Way better than our current post-apocalyptic world. https://t.co/3kvLfhzTvw

Quite enjoyed Furiosa, disappointed for George Miller if it ends up underperforming at the box ofice. Maybe it needed a better draw than Chris Hemsworth? Wooden actor and don't think he's a good box office magnet.

“Even though the ‘Mad Max’ films are set in the future, they really go back to a neo-medieval time,” the “Furiosa” director says, in a new interview. “All the behavior tends to be very elemental and, in a sense, universal.” https://t.co/hLxf1l0eq1

Box office coverage has taken on life and death stakes of late, but WHY? Is the not-terribly-surprising underperformance of FURIOSA a sign that Movies Are Over? I don't think so, and the discourse of late hasn't been very helpful in terms of changing the message, either... https://t.co/P8q34PDUgi

After a nailbiter weekend, and a bit of back and forth between FURIOSA ($26M) and GARFIELD ($24M), which film takes #1 this weekend? Remember, no big studio drops.
Rife with nonstop chase scenes that become boring as they drag on, and marred by terrible, distracting CGI, “Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga” has stained the reputation of the entire "Mad Max" series. https://t.co/Ong09vNeKj
"Furiosa" is quite a departure from "Fury Road" in style and story, for both better and worse, but is still well worth a watch. https://t.co/EboPPrXfKW
several reasons why 'furiosa' didn't open big, from poor marketing/PR to lack of marquee stars and it opening nine years after 'fury road'... but i think the biggest strategic error was that they should have dropped at least one 'fury road' sequel before going the prequel route https://t.co/i39qej8w89
“Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga,” the fifth film in George Miller’s survey of post-apocalyptic society—with a primary emphasis on explosions, frothing madmen, and motor vehicles challenging the basic laws of physics—is a must-see this summer, @jhoffman writes. https://t.co/Dxj9Dk3Ag9
