Still boring to casual audiences till jurassic world.

So a movie needs to open to $100M+ to be considered exciting and anything less is "boring"? Cool.

[BoxOfficeZ]

Nice number. Now lets see how this weekend plays out.

Audience reaction to Mm will be great but not as universal as critics I think.

This movie will appeal to action fans.

Casual audience won't find it all that. Man I wish my theatre was packed to get the whole experience, but the marketing was piss poor in India.

What people need to remember about Mad Max, even with phenomenal reviews pretty much everyone has said if you don't like action movies (like the last Mad Max) you are not going to like the movie. I think it can have good legs, but don't expect phenomenal legs, action junkies are a limited audience and non-action junkies haven't overly loved the movie.

Strong reviews does not necessarily mean strong legs. Hard R action films have a limited audience pool, no matter how good they are. I think a result a little bit above Kingsman numbers should be the goal for OW and DOM (which is good).

Something around 45m / 135m would be a fantastic result.

There's plenty of CG and green screen work in MM. The difference is that most of the stunts and crashes are practical.

woww... nice numbers for both of them! MAX can hit mid 40's as expected.

Tele's greatest prediction:

 

You know iJack and Spidey? Futurist and JLaw? Baumer and Stallone?That's going to be me and FURY ROAD.

lol So you are expecting JW to perform like these films? Also, AS, F7 and AVATAR don't happen on a regular basis. This weekend's box office is actually exciting considering that many underpredicted the two openers.

Good for you. Now stop undermining every other movie that's successful because they aren't breaking records.

[Empire]

Really good start for both. PP2 will make low 50s & MM will make low to mid 40s I think.

The new China forum tho...
