George Miller’s latest film has struggled for a second weekend in cinemas around the world. What does it mean for the future of the franchise?
But after winning over critics, the fifth instalment of the seminal action series has struggled for the second consecutive weekend in cinemas around the world, raising questions about whether the revered Australian director will get to shoot another planned, the triumphant fourth movie in the series, which took $US380 million at the box office and won six Oscars.
Miller was looking to shoot it as an anime before Warner Bros backed it as a live-action blockbuster starring Anya Taylor-Joy as the younger version of the one-armed warrior played by Charlize Theron inThe financial risk was tempered by drawing on Australian filming incentives, both at federal and state levels, for a shoot around Broken Hill, Hay in the Riverina, and Sydney.
A major contributor to the box-office slump is likely to be how quickly big movies are being released for home viewing. The action-comedymovies have a huge cultural impact dating back 45 years. They are prestigious projects for a Hollywood studio, and Miller, who is widely regarded as one of the world’s greatest filmmakers, has consistently overcome obstacles to keep making films.
