variables. You might be doing the same here (R rated, medium budget). 

Things are always more complicated then what you read in the trades. 

LIR: "Mad Max: Fury Road" will premiere in Cannes Film Festival Peterlee Mar 27, 17:11

R-rating + $100 million budget ..... looks like a huge box office flop for me.... {nm} Peterlee Mar 27, 17:12

One or two historically flop every Summer. This is my #1 pick to fit the bill. {nm} RollingThunder Mar 27, 17:13

I liked the MMAX4 trailer a lot; I think "Inside / Out" looks more precarious. second gary Mar 27, 18:58

I agree. That was a great trailer. I hope the flick lives up to it. Casting looks good, effects look good, fingers crossed! {nm} Willroast Mar 27, 19:36

you said the same thing about 40 Shades {nm} Moviesnob Mar 27, 17:17

'40 Shades' was a Giant Bust - '50 Shades' did just Fine. E. L. James Mar 27, 17:24

What purpose does it serve to ban a person by blocking one account, when they have multiple accounts. Shouldn't all accounts be banned? {nm} Rocket123 aka PVL Admin Mar 27, 18:38

Isn't that 2nd account of his supposed to be a Negative Port? It is up +2mill today and reporting profits for the week and month RazorHawk Mar 27, 19:14

his *NEGATIVE* port was up +2mill yesterday... up +1.3mill today {nm} RazorHawk Mar 28, 14:41

+1 {nm} eyescovered Mar 28, 08:24

"50 Shades" is an exception. Several R-rated films flop afterwards ("Focus", "Chappie", "Run All Night"...) {nm} Peterlee Mar 27, 17:43

As Variety report, there may be a R-Rated film fatigue Peterlee Mar 27, 17:45

People said the same thing about WWZ and that had a $200M+ budget. Mad Max looks fun and will make it's $ back. {nm} doitdoitdoitnow Mar 27, 17:33

Although not apples to apples. WWZ was rated PG13. {nm} ~JPV~ Mar 27, 17:34

As with many things today, studios are looking to the international market to make its money back. ~JPV~ Mar 27, 17:35

the studio actually gave Miller more money after they saw an initial cut too. {nm} Moviesnob Mar 27, 17:42

I believe the film will be very good. I really looking forward to see it. Unluckily, quality isn't necessary equal to box office {nm} Peterlee Mar 27, 17:46

i dont think they gave him more money because its good, I think they gave him more money because they saw the profit upside. {nm} Moviesnob Mar 27, 17:49

I can't wait to see it, loved the trailer. {nm} tatoufan Mar 27, 19:21

Mad Max will be fine. If you are looking for a bomb in May, then look at Tomorrowland. {nm} nilephelan Mar 28, 18:39
