    Furiosa 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.
