I didn't think they'd actually go through with this, since IIRC Fury Road wasn't that profitable despite universal acclaim.
spoiler
Also Fury Road was bad so I'd hoped cooler heads would prevail, ripBudget $154.6–185.1 million
Box office $380 million
Sure it wasn't raking in several times its budget, but that's not terrible. There are movies that don't even make back their budget.
imagine not calling it "mediocre!!!"
Here's Wiki's citation about Fury Road having lost $20-$40 million, probably due to marketing costs and such. It's not a huge bomb by any stretch, but to lose money after all that box office take... so it needed to take 3-4× its budget to break even. lol
Idk if that's a joke or something, I just didn't think it was very good. Amazing how it's just the tanker bit from Road Warrior stretched out into two hours or whatever, but more boring?
it's a reference to this
