minus-squarealeph@lemm.eelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·edit-25 months agoFuriosa has a few major challenges up against it, really: Its running time is longer than the average Blockbuster it’s R rated and violent Mad Max is a fairly niche IP to begin with It’s a backstory for a secondary (albeit important) character from Fury Road People are feeling the pinch financially right now Having Tom Hardy playing Max as the main character might have bumped the opening weekend Box Office a bit, but not hugely IMO.
