While a strong performance would have made a follow-up inevitable, a shaky one seriously endangered it.
But there is much life left in theMad Maxfranchise, which has shown promising creativity again and again.
Noting one part of 1979’sMad Maxcould help it blossom and release another movie.
Either way,the nextMad Maxmovie should look to its very first release for inspirationas to its next move.
WhileFuriosawasn’t a hit,Fury Roaddidn’t do incredibly at the box office either.
Perhaps Furiosa herself wasn’t the problem.
So,a movie as cheap asMad Maxcould not be madenow.
Brilliant things can be achieved without a huge budget in Hollywood, as movies likeThe Blair Witch Projectprove.
Making every penny count inFuriosa’sfollow-up is a surefire way to avoid box office disappointment.
Mad Max is an Australian post-apocalyptic franchise created by George Miller and Byron Kennedy. The first three films star Mel Gibson as Max Rockatansky, a former police officer who seeks revenge after his family is murdered. Tom Hardy took over the role for 2015’s Mad Max: Fury Road, which was followed by Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga starring Anya Taylor-Joy as Furiosa.
Although expensive cars likeFuriosa’sCranky Black would be sorely missed,Mad Maxshould exploit its premise more.
