RIP Movie Theaters.


Chained Heat was the only release on Memorial Day weekend 1983. Although ROTJ (and Spacehunter: Adventures in the Forbidden Zone!) was still in theaters, so not sure why it was such a low gross weekend. Other than theater tickets averaged just under $2 at the time.

The economy being in the shit and a general uninterest in an unnecessary prequel movie.

No, I meant why 1983 was a low grossing Mem Day weekend. Although I didn't check, so it might not have been, I'm just assumiing it is lower than say 79-82 and 84-86 before ticket prices started rising.

I know why current weekend is shit, and it's everything you said plus streaming, plus they broke everyone's habit by being covid faggots.
 
I rather liked the movie but it’s nowhere near as great as The Road Warrior or Fury Road. The action scenes are great and the villain kicked ass, but the film itself was visually unappealing. It’s so muted and dull looking. They also upper the CGI used significantly for this film and it…stands out.

It’s a 6.5/10
 
Is the only link to Max to necessitate his name in the title (outside just trying to get Boomers in the seats) that you see him watching off in the distance during a single scene?
Seems to be the case. To be fair to Miller the subtitle was probably a studio mandate and not a deliberate creative decision by the filmmaker to mislead the audience into thinking they were going to see 'a mad max saga', in reality it probably ended up hurting the film a bit by setting the wrong expectations.
 
After 2 days it is barely beating the new Garfield movie.

Also, there is a new Garfield movie.
yeah

My friends and I got together to go see late night with the devil a few weeks ago, the cinema looked only slightly more populated than it did during covid. We got our tickets for $10 each and were blown away - the price hasn't risen (or has risen two dollars, we fought over it but never found out the truth) in a decade, so now popcorn costs more than the ticket. Fine by us though, since we brought snacks from home like we used to as teens. Then we sat down in the cinema and the lights dimmed, and we learned why tickets were so cheap - over half an hour of ads before the movie started. Fuck the cinemas if they can't make a profit without fucking me around.
At least with there being so much ad slop before even the trailers in theaters these days, I usually don't have to worry about being late to a showing. Usually if I'm late by like 10 or 15 minutes depending on traffic. I know I still got 10 more minutes of leeway because they still have that same fucking M&M mime or time bomb commercial they've been playing in theaters for the past decade or so.
 
Garfield would have made it's money back and then some if only DVD sales where still a thing, but thanks to streaming services that's no longer an option.

Oh my, how terrible.
 
I am not surprised to see this flopping. You have an IP that is basically built around a classic pulp hero going on adventures, you easily could have just done another Mad Max with him in it. I think the love for Furiosa as a character was VASTLY overestimated.
 
I'll probably be seeing this Tuesday, so hopefully its at least pretty good as its own thing.

all of the women who liked her probably trooned out between the release of that film and now so they no longer identify with "strong female characters".
 
Disappointing.
Too much CGI, uneven pacing (very start and stop), interesting enough characters and world building, if you ignore the overuse of (or bad perhaps?) CGI the action scenes are pretty good though the CGI is very noticeable not to mention the "smooth" filter they've applied to it film, music is passable. It feels overly long as well.

Not a bad film but does not rise to Fury Road's level. Makes it worse by having
scenes from Fury Road play in the credits.
