Warner Bros.’ “Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga” has started its engines at the box office, taking in $3.5 million from 3,400 locations during Thursday preview screenings.
That’s just slightly below the $3.7 million preview total that its predecessor, “Mad Max: Fury Road,” earned in 2015 en route to a $45.4 million opening weekend. “Furiosa” is projected to earn a similar start in the low $40 million range over four days this Memorial Day weekend, with a global launch of $80-85 million.
With a reported budget of around $160 million before marketing, “Furiosa” will need significant legs to be able to turn a theatrical profit and will need to at least match the $372 million global total of “Fury Road.”
