I'm not knocking the film, haven't seen it ,and I'm sure it's a lot better than most of the other summer releases. But It's really odd how a film that bombed at the box office gets so much positive news and attention. I guess the studio feels this is going to do gang busters in streaming and home video, so it's worth pumping it up for the enviable trilogy.
Hi buddy! It made almost $400 million worldwide more than doubling it's $150 million budget. Which is pretty good considering the last film in the series made about $30 million 30 years ago. Plus FURY ROAD is rated R, not PG-13. It really is a great film, my all time favorite. You should really see it, and I hope you like it!I sure hope they do make more.
I'm interested in seeing it. Just wasn't a priority for me. Hmm, it's on iTunes rental, streaming for $5. Sound like a deal to me.
