I agree. However, a Miller commentary may make it worthy of a purchase.

With how shaky the dramas are this year - and I like quite a few of them, but my favorite (Steve Jobs) is getting no traction - I would love for Fury Road to win some big prizes. I've watched it 7-8 times, and I've watched some of the sequences another half-dozen times each. I really think it's...

I don't think anyone thinks it'll be favored to win Picture or Director, but merely that it definitely should be nominated for both at this point. I certainly wouldn't expect it to win either, though Miller for Director wouldn't be disappointing. Right now even getting nominated for both would...

I'd say it's chances for Picture/Director nominations for the Oscars is about as good as it can get for such a film.

With such a weak year for "awards" pictures, I can definitely see the Golden Globe noms next week being somewhat generous to MMFR. Here's hoping.

The entire film's runtime has frame rate manipulations. Having seen it five times theatrically, I assure you it's intentional. Mel Gibson talks about removing single frames and double printing others in his Braveheart commentary. He learned that technique from Miller (and Orson Welles).

Right, one usually doubles the production cost. But a production and marketing cost of $150m/each ($300m) is $100m difference from a production and marketing cost of $200m/each ($400m), making a significant change in the "break even" point.

I don't get where deadline is getting the $200 million budget figure. Every other online source says $150 million In other news, it should do real well in Japan when it opens there in two weeks, as the series has a strong following there.

I'm in the camp that thinks FR is a masterful film, and a description of it as messy would be the farthest from my mind, but that's the thing - taste is subjective. Now, informed opinions are superior to uninformed ones, and often internet movie squabbles boil down to weighing all opinions as...

The movie is thin on plot but deep on story. That's a lesson Hollywood needs right now.

While Beyond Thunderdome gets a lot of hate, I still find it to be a fairly good movie. No, it isn't perfect, but I'd much rather have it around than not, especially since some elements are IMO quite iconic. The idea of the Thunderdome itself with its fandom chant ("Two Men Enter, One Man...

Why not make Mad Max 5? He already has the screenplay written / storyboards drawn. Its called Mad Max: The Wasteland

A PG-13 in 1985 was not nearly the sanitised "step down" from an R that it is in 2015. PG-13 as a rating parents take their toddlers to had in no way been established by the American movie going culture at that time.

Deadline is the first I've seen somewhere say $200 million. Huh. In any case, when international box office is taken into account (which I expect to be 65-70% of its total gross) it'll probably be enough to make another.

Budget was $150 Million. It'll be profitable with around $350 Million world wide.

Yeah, this is a case of MM and Avengers doing what was expected, while PP2 exceeded theirs. Hopefully that press isn't spun to say MM under performed, because it really isn't under performing.

A finely distilled action triumph, with wicked imagery, bonkers scale, and a chaotically immersive but never unorganized vision. It met every expectation I had, and exceeded others I never even figured were bouncing through my mind. 10/10

Assuming Avengers falls 60% again that would put it around $32 million, which should be third. Mad Max: Fury Road and Pitch Perfect 2 are both tracking at mid-$40s, with PP2 having slightly better initial numbers, but the excellent reviews for MM:FR may invert that by the time the weekend is over.

There are some showing Thursday night starting around 7pm-8pm.

Time for me to finally check out Happy Feet, I guess. You know, the film he won his Oscar for. ;) (Echoes of Carol Reed winning his Oscar for Oliver!)

And the new final Full Trailer :o :rock:

My most anticipated film of the Summer, by far.
