Warner Bros. 'Furiosa' Box Office Projection Revealed
According to Deadline, Anya Taylor-Joy and Chris Hemsworth-fronted blockbuster is tracking to earn $40 million - $50 million over the 4-day domestic opening weekend at the domestic (North America) box office. The report says that it could edge out Sony/Alcon Entertainment's animated Garfield which is tracking a $35 million opening in the same weekend.
Deadline reports that Furiosa has the benefit of being an Imax and PLFs and a Cannes Film Festival world premiere as a global loudspeaker which gives it a shot at $40+ million start from earlier projection of $30+ million, same as Garfield.
Directed by George Miller, Furiosa could also turn into a surprise winner at the Indian box office. Mad Max: Fury Road grossed around 15 crores in India in 2015. In recent times, Hollywood movies have done well in India and with Chris Hemsworth, who has a genuine fan following among the Indian audiences, Furiosa could start well. Another advantage to the movie is that there is no big Indian release around it.
