Apparently The Fall Guy has also done well on digital. Famously, The Northman was another recent cinema flop that did great on VoD / streaming. It does beg questions about how box office - and renumeration owed to staff - is properly tabulated given if Furiosa's success tethered only to the BO l, it may not be equitable?

Yeah I've been thinking about this lately, I've young kids at home but during the week I work far away from home so in the evenings I'm totally free to go to the cinema where I'm working at. If I was back at the house there would be no way I could do it. The vast majority of parents of young people just simply can't go to the cinema on a whim, and these are the people who would love to go see this thing if they could. Fury Road did well on digital/blu ray too, didn't it?

Glad to see she is doing well on VOD but Its a shame because this looked way better in the cinema. I bought this on Youtube and it looks like the digitized craic played on netflix through the TV. In the cinema theatre it looked way more natural.

And add into that the Motion Smoothing that'll be on by default on all those TVs of the idly curious.

Honestly there are so many exceptions, and counter exceptions, flops and spectacular successes I'm not even sure it's possible to take the temperature of cinema these days & what gets people throw the doors. And that's before I even consider where the mindsets rest with Gen Z and younger; but there seems a lot of chatter about cinema's death or resurgence from month to month.

I'm not even sure it's about people not having time to get to a theatre, there's just an attitude I hear from so many now which essentially comes down to "why would I pay for tickets to a movie when I already pay for Netflix and it'll be there in 3 weeks?"

Enjoyed this. It was both different and very similar to Fury Road.

Chris Hemsworth was the standout for me, really great character, but Anya Taylor Joy was good too.

I regret now not seeing it in the cinema to be honest, it would've been well worth it.

If I had the time for cinema, I would have liked to go but I'd be going on my own as can't imagine persuading my wife to get a babysitter so we could to Mad Max.

I guess the originals were low budget and did well on that basis. There's also, the more of the same factor. A original idea similar to Mad Max might do better.

I would say neither Fury Road or Furiosa were more of the same thing. In fact, each Mad Max film tends to end up as an incredibly unique experience regardless of if one likes it or not.

El Gato De Negocios

Watched it over the weekend.

Enjoyed it but not even close to how much I enjoyed FR. It was cool to see some of the scummy characters back from FR, Hemsworth was fun as Dementus and Joy I liked as the titular character. It seemed to be significantly more CGI heavy than FR. Now I get why, destroying vehicles is alot easier than destroying buildings but it was quite jarring in places and really took away from the immersion.

I definitely think this will benefit from a Black and Chrome edition. Much like something like the Mist, the b & w masks the weaker cgi.

Still, enjoyable enough and one I will watch again in years to come.
