Furiosa-Anya-Taylor-Joy

Summary Furiosa’s failure at the box office means there probably won’t be any more Mad Max movies – and if that’s the case, I’ll be heartbroken. George Miller’s post-apocalyptic franchise has been a staple of action cinema since the ‘70s. 1979’s Mad Max, set in a dystopian near-future, is an ultraviolent masterpiece with uncompromising brutality and a bleakly satirical view of society and human nature.

The Mad Max franchise is a staple of action cinema and, creatively, it keeps going from strength to strength. But the box office failure of Furiosa means that Warner Bros. probably won’t take a chance on any more Mad Max films. In a world where Moana 2 and a live-action remake of Moana are concurrently in development, it would be a travesty for Hollywood to abandon one of the only I.P.s that actually innovates and evolves and has more stories to tell.

Furiosa needed to be seen on a big screen to fully appreciate the way Miller manipulates his audience’s senses. So far this year, I’ve seen a couple of dozen new movies at a theater – ranging from the highs of Inside Out 2 to the lows of Argylle – and Furiosa stands out as one of the few that genuinely demanded to be seen on a big screen. Furiosa was an immersive cinematic experience on par with Dune: Part Two, and it deserved to achieve the same success.

The people who love Mad Max, such as myself, really love it. But that’s not a particularly large group. And there aren’t enough of us for Mad Max to be financially viable as a global blockbuster franchise in this day and age. Ironically, the Mad Max saga has become the victim of a bleak cinematic wasteland in which only a lucky few franchises get to survive.
