While I enjoy enjoy the humor of the memes, I do think it kinda dismisses Max's character, even though he never looks down on Furiosa. I think that should be celebrated, not ignored.

Someone post the box office till now. I don't want to jinx it.

I actually think this will grant Max a devoted Tumblr fangirl following. Do not underestimate the power of Tumblr fangirls.

$219million worldwide

Not for me, it was a fun tongue-in-cheek. It elevates Max in my eyes. Max/Furiosa were a team, equal partners, supportive of one another. And this is the first Hardy role that made me take notice of him.

 

[WC Avengers]

219 million in the bank thru 5/26/15.
200 Million dollar estimated budget.

still need 150 million more to break even at least.

350 million is the goal here WW.

 

[DeGenerate10]

I'm going to see it again tomorrow for my third viewing. I imagine I'll be seeing it a few more times before it's out of theaters.

 

[Voltron]

As per http://pro.boxoffice.com/statistics/movies/mad-max-fury-road-2015
$210m budget total.

So maybe at least $420m to break even.

 

[Schlosser85]

This isn't necessarily one of Tom Hardy's "best" performances, but it's one of the most enjoyable ones from him in a while, for me.

And it might be my favorite Charlize Theron and Nicholas Hoult characters.

 

[jmc]

Keep in mind WB would have gotten anywhere between $20-50m in tax breaks from the Australian government for Fury Road so that $200m budget is probably a bit deceptive.

 

[Voltron]

I knew Charlize was good since The Devil's Advocate. She wasn't just another pretty face. But her Furiosa was just awesome. I don't want to see Monster because of the subject matter.

Nic Hoult's previous roles were just average to me, but he really stood out as Nux a completely different character.

 

[Schlosser85]

I've never disliked Nicholas Hoult, but he really showed another side in Fury Road.

 

[Voltron]

Must admit when I found out Theron's character's name is Furiosa it sounded dumb to me at first. Fury Road, Furi-osa, what the?

 

[titansupes]

I really dislike Hoult. He was fine throughout most of this, but he's just one of those actors that pisses me off for no discernible reason.

 

[ThePhantasm]

Must admit when I found out Theron's character's name is Furiosa it sounded dumb to me at first. Fury Road, Furi-osa, what the?

Unlike the names Immortan Joe, Rictus Erectus, Master Blaster, Aunty Entity, and Lord Humungus?

 

[DarthDorranceBane]

And Vulvani.

 

[Voltron]

Baring in mind that this is my first ever MM movie. Immortan I thought was just derived from Immortal, never heard Rictus' Erectus, and Vulvani is okay.

Like I said, at first I thought it sounded dumb, but after the movie I didn't. Furiosa became one badass name.

 

[DA_Champion]

It is too bad that this is doing poorly at the box office.

 

[The Endless]

I think it'll end up with about 300 million. Still not bad for a bizarre Rated R action movie released at the height of blockbuster season.

 

[DA_Champion]

It is a comparable gross to Oblivion and Edge of Tomorrow. It's ok from that vantage point, but it is too bad that movies not from famous franchises have such a hard time.

If man of steel or Avengers 2 had been this good, gross might have been 2 billion dollars.

 

[Voltron]

Yeah it's R rated so it's more comparable to Django Unchained.

Let's hope Japan and China embraces it. Japan loves the bizarre and this movie is it. F7 and AoU grossed around $155m and $208m in China so hoping for at least $100m there.

But Fury Road is good BECAUSE it was allowed to be weird and out there, ie the anti-MOS and Avengers 2.

I mean, most people predicted Fury Road completely bombing, so the fact that it's getting people out, even if it's not summer blockbuster numbers, is still really cool.

 

[Warhammer]

A film like Avengers or Superman could only be daring if some rich dude decided to denote a couple hundred millions to make his own damn movie. Or they could use a time machine and go back to the 80s.
