‘Furiosa’ Box Office Puts Brakes on George Miller’s Next ‘Mad Max’ Movie

The Hollywood Reporter Pamela McClintock, Wednesday, 29 May 2024 20:00
  • Unique Points
    • George Miller's film Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga had a disappointing box office performance with $32 million domestically and $36.5 million overseas.
    • Furiosa was not intended to be an all-audience tentpole but still came in well below tracking predictions of $40 to $45 million.
  • Accuracy
    • The underwhelming performance of Furiosa dims hopes for the upcoming Mad Max: The Wasteland
    • Furiosa had a disappointing box office performance with $32 million domestically and $36.5 million overseas.
    • Sony’s The Garfield Movie is projected to overtake Warner Bros.’ Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga for first place on domestic charts.
  • Deception (70%)
    The article makes editorializing statements and uses emotional manipulation by stating that 'Forty-five years after George Miller introduced audiences to Mad Max, the auteur may have finally hit the end of the road through the postapocalyptic wasteland unless he finds some high-octane gasoline soon.' This statement is not a fact and is an opinionated way of describing Miller's situation. The article also uses selective reporting by only mentioning that Furiosa had a disappointing box office performance, while failing to mention that it received positive audience scores and critical acclaim. Additionally, the article makes assumptions about the future of Mad Max: The Wasteland based on Furiosa's performance without any concrete evidence.
    • But many veteran box office pundits are doubtful whether such a recovery is possible, with one rival studio saying it could have a hard time getting past $90 million domestically.
    • Forty-five years after George Miller introduced audiences to Mad Max, the auteur may have finally hit the end of the road through the postapocalyptic wasteland unless he finds some high-octane gasoline soon.
  • Fallacies (85%)
    The article contains several informal fallacies and a potential appeal to authority. The author uses the phrase 'disappointing' to describe the box office performance of 'Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga', implying that anything less than expected is disappointing. This is an example of an emotional appeal, which can sway readers without providing logical reasoning. Additionally, the author quotes sources stating that Furiosa's box office performance has complicated the possibility of making 'Mad Max: The Wasteland'. This could be seen as an appeal to authority since the sources are not named and their credibility is not established. However, it is important to note that this information was included in the article for context and does not necessarily imply an endorsement or agreement with the fallacious reasoning.
    • ]The revered filmmaker's Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga bowed to a disappointing $32 million domestically[
    • Sources agree that Wasteland's fate is complicated by Furiosa's box office, but stress it wasn't even in development.
