Trailer just came out and it looks like it will live up to the hype.

I'm seeing $200M+ for it even without Max in here. Mad Max 2015 was universally acclaimed and caught most off guard just how good the movie is. Think a lot of people have discovered it over the past 8 years and with 9 years of inflation we're in for a mega performance.

Felt very CGI but something has to be a blockbuster next year so I guess it might as well be it. I like the villain Hemsworth addition.

Agreed on the CGI. I was hoping for a more Fury Road feel. They did film in location in AU so at least it's not a green screen driven movie.

So next year we have even more female-driven action films. When will studios learn? Having said that, this looks more likely to be a success story because it doesn't try the girl power thing of having a woman kick the asses of six guys, a la Atomic Blonde ... though I'm worried for Ballerina.

But not having the confidence in Furiosa alone is eye-roll worthy. This is a female story but they're still selling it with a man's name in the title - and he's not even in the movie! It would have been like Joker being titled "Joker: Batman's Nemesis" or Venom being "Venom: The Spider-Man Villain". Have some bloody confidence in your product! They'll probably claim it was to avoid confusion with being the new Fast and Furious movie, lol.

Other than that it looks decent. Hemsworth is perhaps too dashing and good looking to be in the role. I hope he's more evil and outback crazy than what we saw in the trailer.

I'll go with a $125m gross for now.

that trailer LOOKED GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD! #WITNESSHER

glad Chris is playing a baddie in this one

There are some better examples like:

Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw

That did $760,732,926 globally in 2019. Higher than Fast 9's $726,229,501 in 2021 (of course impacted by the pandemic) and FastX's $704,709,660 earlier this year.

Saw the trailer during Dune and honestly it looked like a cheaper version of Fury Road with nothing new to make it stand out. Audience reaction seemed pretty muted as well.

I could see this underperforming with an OW in the low 30s tbh

Furiosa will be going to Cannes.

Horizon will also go out of competition. Hope that's a positive sign for both films.
