Furiosa Box Office Breaks Unwanted Mad Max Record In Week 2

This article covers a developing story. Continue to check back with us as we will be adding more information as it becomes available.

Summary Furiosa has had a 59% drop at the domestic box office during its second weekend.

This is the worst week 2 drop of any Mad Max movie with a domestic release.

It remains to be seen if the new installment can even make its money back.

Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga has broken an unwanted record for George Miller's post-apocalyptic action franchise. The movie is the fifth installment in the Mad Max franchise, which kicked off in 1979 and had its most recent installment in 2015 with the Oscar-winning Mad Max: Fury Road, to which the new movie is a direct prequel. Although it took No. 1 in its opening weekend, the Furiosa box office has had a disappointing start with the worst Memorial Day debut in decades, earning $26.3 million against its whopping $168 million budget.

Per Deadline, the Furiosa box office has earned $10.75 million in its second weekend at the domestic box office, bringing its cumulative domestic gross to $49.6 million. This is a 59% drop from its 3-day opening of $26.3 million over the Memorial Day holiday weekend. Although it's overall a decent drop for a major blockbuster, it is somewhat harsher considering that there are no other major new wide releases in theaters this weekend in addition to earning the worst-ever week 2 drop for the Mad Max franchise.
