Mad Max: Fury Road OS Thread | $221.1m OS | $374.7m WW

I hope it somehow gets released in China. 

 

Wow, China has no release date? Why? This movie will do $100M - $120M easily

[Bob Violence]

WB and Village Roadshow likely decided that San Andreas (June 2nd in China) is a safer bet for that market and threw their weight behind it instead. On a related note:

 

 

pacific rim got sequel with

400M worldwide

200M budget

So mad max 2 will be made with 350M

 

PR is getting a sequel because it was a huge surprise hit in a market that's growing at a dizzying rate. Fury Road could do that in theory, but I very much doubt it'll have the same outsized success in China, partly because of audience tastes and partly because it will be a late release if it opens there at all (PR opened in China two weeks behind the U.S., but FR might well not open before July).

Fury road has a chance to take $250m OS, doesn't it? or 200m is safe bet? (without China)

[picores]

i think 200 OS is clearly the benchmark here....250m if China joins the party.

[eXtacy]

All films had huge Saturday increases and good Sunday holds which tells me there was not much front loading and this should play out well over the next month. It should definitely hit over 200m OS. If China gets a release I could easily see it hitting 100m there (being an excellent action spectacle with little dialogue)

I fear there wont be a China release...

Poor Chinese guys, this movie is excellent and many people will miss it

[Asyulus]

200m is a guarantee without China, with that, 250 would have been inside da question.

Film like this can do $100M in China

[ngdinhluat]

MMFR's done well in Korea, I think second week OS will be great hold.

[snitch]

Well in South Korea the second weekend is often as good if not better than the first. After that the movies plummet. Hope that's not the case with Max.

MAD MAX: FURY ROAD $124.3M Overseas Total / $212M Global Total

[Spidey Freak]

C'mon WB, let China experience this awesomeness.

 

Hollywood owes the People's Republic that much after exposing them to Age of Extinction and I, Frankenstein.

$150M dom, $250M os, $400M WW, 2 sequels greenlit for release in 2017 & 2018

[picores]

250m without China would required some amazing holds in the following weeks.

[Travod]

Lack of China sucks so much
