Interesting to see who buys it.

>>221104315Why would wb pass on a guaranteed hit Fury road was huge You can do basically infinity stories about a guy wandering into a place and causing trouble: see Conan the barbarian, lone wolf and cub, violence jack
>>221104362
>>221104362Fury Road only made 380 million in 2015 with good criticsFuriosa flopped with only 174 million WORLDWIDE
>>221104362>Why would wb pass on a guaranteed hitFury Road wasn’t a massive hit.
>>221104315Furiosa was the absolute peak of the series. Miller is a master. Doubt whoever buys it will even reach Thunderdome levels.
>>221104315Plot twist: Disney will buy it.
>>221104315I hate being Australian so goddamn much.
>>221104419It was a hit for an R-rated movie that wasn't marvel. Fury Road outgrossed John Wick 123
>>221104450Unironically Mad Max: The Wasteland features a new Thunderdome. Part of the script was adapted into a Vertigo published comic book.
>>221104417>flopped yes, "flopped" all the way into a net box office profit
>>221104597Fury Road cost more to make than the first three John Wick movies combined, dumbass.
>>221104615Gross =/= revenue, anon.
>>221104417>>221104380with FR they had fantastic reviews and publicity and audience response and practical effects and actual max character and tom hardy still on the rollit about broke evenso what's the next step of their master plan?increase the budged by a shitload, make it a prequel about a side character woman, no max, absolute garbage cgi shitfest, uncharismatic cast and so on, INCREASE THE BUDGET BY A SHITLOAD YEARS LATER WHEN THE GENERAL AUDIENCE KEEPS DWINDLINGwhat the fuck were they expecting
>>221104622Budget isn't attendance, dumbass, Fury Road pulled a bigger audience than most R-rated movies. Fury Road or John Wick aren't popular because the public liked their budget
>>221104655>increase the budged by a shitload, make it a prequel about a side character woman, no max, absolute garbage cgi shitfest, uncharismatic cast and so on>t. not seen the movie
>>221104756And it still barely broke even, fucking idiot. Every single John Wick meanwhile made a healthy profit
>>221104831Maybe you were dropped on your head a lot but more people watched and apparently enjoyed Fury Road than the 2010s John Wick movies, and budget means nothing to the public. No movie watcher ever said "holy shit that $75m budget movie rocked my favorite part was the vfx outsourced to some Bangalore internet cafe"
>>221104362Fury Road was kino, I saw it in theatres twice.Conversely, I still have not seen Furiosa because it didn’t look good. Attaching the name Mad Max to a film is not enough to make the film look appealing.
>>221104903More eyeballs doesn’t mean shit if you can’t generate profit for the studio, dimwit
>>221104906stop being a sad cunt go watch it
>>221104925I thought this budget strawman died when Superman 2025 cratered internationally on a $220m budget not including P&A. Superman 2025 had good attendance and popularity, like Fury Road
>>221104906You're not missing anything. Furiosa is torture porn-lite, has incredibly shit pacing which makes it a boring chore to watch and looks ugly to boot. The revenge exacted to the big bad in the final pay-off was lame and gay. It's a movie that didn't have to be made and its existence diminishes the MM universe.
>>221104315Reboot it, this time Max is a martial artist that goes "wacha" and he's a japanese chad.
>>221104562Female MaxIndianCgi cartoonNo fighting at allJust her riding around in the V8Which is now pinkAnd electric poweredShe has all these cooool wasteland friends!"Maddy Max and her amazing friends!"
>>221104655Something that also seems to get forgotten is that Furiosa came out at peak women being action stars fatigue.
>>221104362Fury Road didn't make a profit in its initial theatrical run. $180 million budget is a lot, for something R-rated
Fury road sucked and Furiosia was abysmal. Now he wants to sell it kek. What a fool, all he had to do was make a good movie with Max being a badass but no, no, lets not. Whatever, 1-3 are always here.
>>221105373Fury Road in monochrome is the best movie ive ever laid my eyes upon. Furiosa sucked but Fury Road was a masterpiece.
The budgets for Fury Road and Furiosa were insane The next movie itself MIGHT break even but wouldn't be a big hit so I'm not sure if any company would be willing to fund it. Unless they see it as a prestige thing like Jeff Bezos spending a trillion dollars on Rings of Power. Maybe a deal where the sale of the IP is tied to an agreement to produce Miller's final film.Whoever buys it will 100% ruin the franchise though.
Furiosa was better than Fury Road.
>>221105498You can't honestly believe that
>>221104315furiosa sequel please!!
>>221105427>The budgets for Fury Road and Furiosa were insaneNot really. The logistics involved in those shoots costs a pretty penny, it also takes a lot of man power when those are real cars and you’re doing a lot of practical stunts with VFX to just fix and hide in post
>>221105498100% true.
>>221104315>>221104362They should really try playing around with the importance of clean water in the story's setting. A big bad could have control of one of the last full, functioning reservoirs
>>221105711Part of the large budget comes from over a decade of production delays, Fury Road was supposed to release in 2001
>>221104362>guaranteedonly 2 of the 5 Mad Max movies are any good
Bommyknocker status?
>>221104362Fury Road was a massive critical hit, and is one of the best movies of the 21st century, but it did underwhelming numbers in cinemas. It only became profitable due to DVD and Blu Ray and that market doesn't exist anymore. Furiosa just flopped hard as fuck so I don't blame them for being apprehensive. I thought it bombing spelled the end for Wasteland but at least Miller is open to shopping it around so we will see it.
>>221106304And they were made in the 80s
>>221104362>why would WB pass on something whose last two movies didn't do great at the box office and are being made by a fat-ish 81 year old that looks worse than my 94 year old neighborAfter years of absolutely retarded choices(like hiring Snyder) they finally made a smart one.
>>221105550Anya look like that?!
>>221104315more foidslop coming right up
>>221105498It's close but yeah. I think Furiosa had more obvious problems, but overall it was a better film. Fury Road I remember being kind of pissed when the rewatched Fury Road a few years after catching it in the cinema, and realizing that the soundtrack wasn't mostly metal and DOOF-rock, but a conventional action movie score.
>>221104906>Fury Road was kinoEh, yeah, mostlyMiller BRAGGED about having a "feminist advisor" on set, and you can clearly see the impact. The "who killed the world?" nonsense was pure cringe (Uhm, maybe the world was killed by stupid women voting for sociopathic men who promised they wouldn't ban muh aborshun?).It could have been better. but the rot had already set in AND Miller was openly virtue signalling about it. Even though Furiosa looked like shit, I'd already decided against wasting my time with it long before the webms popped up here.
>>221104362Lol fury road and furiosa flopped
>>221104362Miller doesn't look great lately and could easily keel the fuck over in the middle of filming. Also the last two movies flopped.
>>221104615theater takes half sweatie
>>221104655>uncharismatic castImperator Jack was pretty cool, and Dr. Dementus was fun as fuck.
doesn't matter they going to make it girl boss franchise anyway
>>221108049looks better than most 80 year olds
MAX is a great protagonist wasted on the likes of Hardy, the prima dona, and the rest of these Hacks. JUST PASS IT ON MILLER!
Thank god we've moved past the whole "durr mad max is sjw" discourse that used to be the mainstay of Fury Road on /tv/
>>221104362>Why would wb pass on a guaranteed hit>guaranteed hit
>>221104315Mel Gibson should buy it with his Christbux and MMMGA.
>>221104362>Why would wb passThe film industry is dependent on a young audience to keep it afloat, and the audience today is sick and tired of all the boomer slop (((Hollywood))) has been pushing for decades now. They want new films that their generation can embrace as their own, they don't want the shit that belonged and identified the past generations.This is why the youtuber films got support while they tossed the star wars film in the trash, where it belongs.
i only liked the first 3 movies.
>>221107419>advisorDid you miss the point of the film. The feminists in the film were just as doomed to fail along with Immortan Joe and his gang.The only reason why Furiosa succeded was with help from a man and that they eventually worked as a team.Fuck sake...all the female bikers got their handed to them and Max took charge.
>>221104315hmmmmmm.
>>221104315Please god not Amazon
>>221104906Furiosa is kino. Theres some absolutely beautiful shots and some incredible action scenes and vehicle and costume designs that are probably better than fury road. Its a bigger movie but its not overly complex or boring or too talky or anything. Watch it tonight.
>>221110444My first instinct but I thought that Miller is too close to his projects creatively to let them do their usual shit to it so he'd only go with them if he had freedom and autonomy.
the world doesn't deserve millerkinoonly capeshit
>>221105550>make a Mad Max movie>with no Mad Max>cast an ugly ayylmao womyn>movie flops>now try to sell the IP
>>221107419>>221110230She was one of Warners producers and was called in because the relationship between Hardy and Theron was a boiling point. Things got easier after Theron got a woman to talk about. All male producers just shrugged it off. Even Miller admits in the brilliant making-of book Blood, Sweat & Chrome he didn't get the feud either and downplayed it.
>>221106341>and is one of the best movies of the 21st centuryStopped reading there. It was retarded goyslop. Thunderdome is unironically a masterpiece by comparison.
>>221104315Road Warrior is the only good Mad Max movie, let it die.
>>221110697>uglyeat your words and apologize rn>>221106804yea
>>221104362>You can do basically infinity stories about a guy wandering into a place and causing troubleIndeed and the actor playing Mad Max can be swapped out as needed, like the Batman flicks.George Miller is a senile dumbass who killed the franchise.
Furiosa was better than Fury Road (not joking)
>>221104315I'm only interested if they bring back Mel Gibson to do a grizzled old man Mad Max story.
>>221110697It was better than Fury Road
>>221110833>>221110878Shut up, contrarian faggot.
>>221110891Cry some more bitch
>>221110507Looks like a video game cutscene.
>>221110833Dubs confirm
>>221110801>Hide postSon, that is objectively NOT an attractive woman, you've been brainwashed by Neu-Hollywood.
>>221104906you got tricked by a bad marketing campaign. furiosa is better than fury road and Praetorian Jack is a better mad max than tom hardy
>>221104655Miller went full feminist, it was shot during the peak woke and it's just a bad and boring movie.
Obligatory.>Not a Mad Max movie.
>>221110895I said "shut up".
>>221111111
>>221111121fury road was more of a girlboss movie than furiosa. in furiosa she's actually getting manhandled for like 90% of the film
>>221110979Women in Fury Road and Furiosa vs women IRL.
>>221110507What a downgrade man, Fury Road vehicles were all real including the V8 with tank tracks.
Does anyone want to explain why a movie about>dude wanders around desertneeds a huge hollywood budget? I feel like this could easily he reeled back to a low budget indie film and actually make profit
Miller made the movie for women in a male-dominated genre and men were almost 3/4 of the audience. >Furiosa gets a B+ CinemaScore like Mad Max: Fury Road. Males are present at 72%, the 18-34 crowd reps 55% of the audience, and Imax and PLFS rep 54% of the weekend gross. The movie is playing in the East and West, with AMC Lincoln Square so far he highest-grossing venue in the nation with $77K.
>>221111407set pieces, building the cars, filming in the desert
>>221110762Looks like a good read
>>221111492It is. Chronicles the production from the 90s to the release, and post reactions.
>>221110793>Road Warrior is the only good Mad Max movieMad Max was awesome. A family man in conflict with his career that gets pulled into something he never wanted after losing everything he loved. Great film.
I watched Road Warrior recently and was pretty disappointed about the Warrior Woman dying so easily and not really doing anything important. It makes me wonder if Furiosa supposed to be a more developed version of that character. Maybe Miller felt bad for wasting her in that movie.
>>221111597You’re the best Max
https://theconversation.com/the-doof-warrior-rocks-the-gender-divide-in-mad-max-fury-road-42185
>>221110908>>221111327Like 90% of the CGI team were indians
>>221110793I used to think that but now i think the opposite, the entire original trilogy is equally good
Max is more of a super hero in the Fury Road than in Road Warrior. I don't know why chuds cried so much about that flick. He gets beaten up all the time in Road Warrior and others have to save him.
>>221105373she still looks like an ayyy even under all that make-up. It's incredible.
>>221111448The original film was made for what would be less than 2 million today. Star Wars would've been made for around 60 mil for reference. Why did Furiosa need 168 million?
>>221111954The original film looks pretty cheap.
>>221111954bigger set pieces, grandiose action sequencesretard
>>221112142Why does it need to be bigger when it's underperforming and no one likes it? Backrooms and Obsession rocked the box office and has been all this board talks about for weeks and they did it on 10 mil.
>>221104615double the budget for marketing dumb fag
>>221110979/thread
>>221110970Bait used to be believable
>>221108558rip david hockney
>>221104315I presume Miller suing Warner Bros. didn't help him to sell IP to them.
>>221112187you don’t seem too bright
>>221112187>and no one likes it?Fury Road and Furiosa were both well liked.
>>221110762miller was having his own feud with tom hardy. he was openly saying to the crew that he wished heath ledger was still alive during the shoot.
>>221113549Yep. That is also chronicled in the book. Miller says he thought during the filming had he made a mistake in casting Hardy.
>>221113549Honestly Ledger could have been pretty good. At the very least he would have a genuine aussie accent.Good call Miller
>>221104615Even if we assume the net gross goes entirely to the studio (which it doesn’t) that means they only made 240k on a 168 million investment lol
>>221105373Fury Road and Furiosa are both better than Thunderdome and no amount of contrarianism will make it otherwise
>>221114305first half of thunderdome is good. it goes to shit when the kids are introduced.
>>221104362WB is trying to intentional drive itself into the ground so you-know-who can pick its carcass clean in a fire sale
>>221104417i liked furiosa more, go figure
>>221114342wrongthis is just another tired, parroted reddditor opinion that you've never had occur to you naturally but just repeat online because everyone else says it
>>221104315I’ve had this crazy idea about taking Mad Max in a mystical direction, sort of like Stephen King’s Dark Tower series. The idea revolves around consensus reality, and with the bulk of humanity gone, the world and the remaining people have become more mutable. In this conception, Max is a quasi-immortal personification of the World Before, a dispenser of justice and order who has become such because he’s tied to and haunted by the past that chases and haunts him. Other characters, like Immortan Joe, have embraced the chaos of the World After and are changed by it. This also explains the kids at the Oasis and their weird idiosyncratic language. They’re essentially the Lost Boys, immortal like Max because they’re also clinging to the past (Captain Walker) and the belief it will come rescue them.
only mad max 2 of the og is goodmeanwhile both fury road and furiosa are highkino
>>221111598Didn't realize that's fucking Xan(not Lil)
>>221104362>Fury road was hugethe last one was a giant flop retard
>>221105416>Fury Roadwas already feminist slop. if you deny that, youre too far in. no women would flee from serving a warlord as breeding sow and invite thousands of feral strangers in to decimate the all the resources. literal propaganda
>>221104315>He plans to sell the IP to the highest bidderWhy, so they can destroy his life's work? He's 81, just take it to your grave
>>221115366This, does he not have a kid or family member he trusts to manage it like Tolkien?
Guy's like 85 or something. Is he going to survive making another Mad Max?
>>221105327It's kind of unfair it got stuck with that, because the whole plot was written decades ago, and was then split in half, so that Fury Road and Furiosa became two separate movies.
Miller should've stayed true to the comic.>Furiosa beats up Immortan Joe's concubines for being ungrateful for saving from the horrors of the wastelands.
>>221115594>the two skulls furiosa cracks on the war rig belong to two hippy bitches that died from radiation poisoning because they played in nuclear ash like it was snowlol
>>221115594Pretty much why this franchise has no real future.
>>221114568that's just violence jack
I still fantasize about the alternative reality where Mel and Sigourney did fury road in their primes fuck i hate this nigger timeline fuck!!
mad max is dead after miller dies anyway. the only appeal is the name, you don't need the franchise name to make a post apoc movie, and miller's direction was some feminist crap
>>221110860Mel as Max, now a History Man.>War Pups, let me tell you about the Hook-Nosed Ones...>CUT!>Mel, for the tenth time, PLEASE stick to the script, or I'll call Caviezel to play your part.
>>221104315>decides to make a Mad Max movie after wasting everyone’s time with a Furiosa movie
>>221116840furiosa is great, it was kind of a watershed moment for me to realize how many fans just watch for nostalgia and wanna see mad max instead of the world
>>221113328I remember it being that he was suing them for not getting his bonus (something like $6 million) for bringing the film in on schedule and under budget, he said they deliberately tried to sabotage the production so they wouldn't have to pay him the bonus. They probably realised they could save a couple million by delaying the shoot a day or two with some bullshit excuse and pin it on him as not deserving the bonus.
>>221116840Anything to expand the lore of that world.>French-Canadian Immortan-equivalent, with beaver-teeth mask because Van Doo (or, hell, a man in a Bonhomme Carnaval) venerating the Ski-Doo in a permanent winter>Japan going Shin Sakoku, with the Dutch somehow still being the only foreigners trading with them, crafting turbine engines by hand from imported materialsThe possibilities are endless!
>>221116941Did you enjoy it because of Furiosa, or in spite of her?
>>221117023both. the lady playing her was cute and the war rig was cool.
>>221115366He probably knows his kids will sell the IP a week after he dies, so at least this way he has some sort of control over who gets it. Kind of like how George Lucas sold Star Wars to Disney, he probably thought better for them to have it than Amazon or Apple.
>>221115539Pretty sure Clint Eastwood is still directing movies in his 90s. I guess directing can be a pretty cushy job in that you can just sit in a chair and delegate everything.
>>221117270The kilt-wearing purple dragon is also getting there.
>>221111954because they're retardedthe increased the budget by a third or something while fury road already saw no profit despite being a fantastic movie not an ugly subpar shlock
>>221114305all 4 mad max movies are kino, furiosa is shit
If social media didn't exist most of the people who bitched about Furiosa probably would have enjoyed it lol
>>221104417Furiosa is such a strange project. It wasn't even gonna be a Miller movie in the first place, it was an anime film directed by a different filmmaker and he decided to take the reins after so long had passed. He couldn't even get John Seale to shoot it because he's like 300 years old now
>>221104380>they fly now?>THEY FLY NOW!!!
>>221104615Goddamn, it's just like those Gunnjeets and Superman.Look, in the US theaters get half, overseas it varies from 25% to 35%. Plus, there is marketing, and for big movies they spend something like half or more of the budget. So the movie you posted costs 168, but let say they spent 80 in marketing, that's 248. 66 domestic, you only get 33 you now have a 215 debt. 102 wordwide, cool, that's about 35, I will make 40 just for you. Your movie still costs 175, that's no win.
>>221110979>Praetorian Jack is a better mad max than tom hardyAbsolutely, it's insane how nobody talks about this. That guy stole the show.
>>221118165He did it to bring the world the dialable loli-izer. https://youtu.be/VqOexnJshDk?is=jv4qfXoL5OhrQMBw
>>221119059Fucking A.
>>221105498Yup. But also you guys need to play the Mad Max game.
>>221110979>Praetorian Jack is a better mad max than tom hardyThis. He's honestly the highlight of the movie.
>>221111954The original film was that cheap because Australia just looked like that and they could pay the actual biker gang in beer.
>>221111954Furiosa actually shows the worldnof Mad Max. Fury Road is literally 80 minutes of a desert and big truck.
>>221118165From the thumbnail I thought the bottom image girl in color had massive torpedo tits
>people unironically still watching this dogshit series after (((they))) pozzed it up with feminismlol...just lol...
1. Thunderdome2. Furiosa3. Fury Road 4. Road Warrior 5. Mad Max
>>221105498This man is correct, Maxi Pad: Menstrual Road was an embarrasment. At least Furiosa had a smitten of originality in it without castrating the former MC and making a feminist over-long recreation of Road Warrior except worse in every single conceivable way.
furiosa killed all the goodwill fury road had garnished
>>221114342this
>>221110230This is cope, I call it the Tarantino effect. Making a film so retarded in it's messaging that your fanboys will psy-op themselves into thinking it was based and not at all a what it actually was, a shitty film that was promoting shittty things and shitty ideals.
>>221104362huge like my turds
like last of us 2 and the last jedi, furiosa retroactively ruined the franchise past and future.
>>221106269That was literally Fury Road. Immortan Joe controlled a reservoir that was the only source of fresh water in the Wasteland.
