Jetzt gilt’s: Nach den ersten beiden Tagen erfüllt „Alles steht Kopf 2“ die großen Hoffnungen voll und ganz. Nun muss sich der Hit von Pixar ab heute mit der Fußball-em messen, die in München mit Deutschland gegen Schottland beginnt.

The release of the trailer for Nag Ashwin’s “Kalki 2898 Ad” has sparked significant online discussion, particularly due to its perceived similarities with Hollywood films like “Dune” and “Mad Max: Fury Road.” The film’s makers are facing serious accusations of plagiarism from South Korean artist Sung Choi, who has an impressive portfolio including work for Marvel Studios, Disney, Warner Bros, and Netflix Animation.
Sung Choi took to social media to express his concerns, sharing a collage that compared his decade-old illustration, published on ArtStation, with a still from the film’s trailer.

George Miller’s Furiosa may be struggling in cinemas, but that doesn’t mean it won’t ultimately make money for Warner Bros. A few thoughts on the modern approach to box office reporting:
There’s a sense of ‘here we again’, as headlines emerge about George Miller’s latest movie, Furiosa.
Off the back of terrific reviews, the fifth film in the Mad Max saga arrived in cinemas with the promise of a sixth movie – The Borderlands – ready to go. George Miller said as much in his collection of pre-release interviews, the assumption being that Warner Bros would fire the starting gun should Furiosa’s box office receipts be solid enough.
Yet, as you likely know, the numbers aren’t looking good. The chances of Mad Max 6 are beginning to look incredibly slim.

Actor Tom Hardy once picked up where Mel Gibson left off by starring in 2015’s Mad Max: Fury Road. But he once revealed there might’ve been more Mad Max sequels in his future.

Hardy had been attached to Mad Max for a number of years before it officially hit theaters. The actor confided that he couldn’t have been more excited to be a part of the franchise. Although he admitted there was a lot of pressure in doing the movie, and inheriting the role that helped make Gibson famous.
“There were many, many actors that would probably be right for Mad Max and there’s many out there who could probably do an exceptional job to portray him. It’s especially a challenge to step in the shoes of such an iconic character. I...

"The problem with dialogue is that it tends to slow things down," director George Miller said, in a recent interview with The Telegraph. "Film is a medium often best enjoyed at high speed."
Few films move at a higher speed than Miller's "Mad Max" series, which came tearing back into town after a 30-year break with "Mad Max: Fury Road" and revved its engines again this year for "Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga." The movies are set in a post-apocalyptic Wasteland that was created by devastating wars over dwindling resources. Somewhere in the middle of all those wars, people decided to take their anger out on books, resulting in mass book burnings that left the remains of human civilization with a paucity of vocabulary. The old words are carefully preserved by the History Men, who tattoo them on their skin. Meanwhile, the denizens of the Wasteland concoct new phrases...

Tom Hardy is most popularly known for committing to intense characters that are morally complex. The actor goes method in everything he does and dives deep into the skin of the character to embody them. Films like Bronson, Warrior, Locke, The Revenant, and The Dark Knight Rises display his brilliant transformative performances.

The latter had him star as Bane, whose towering physique and intimidating aura instill fear in the people of Gotham and even Batman. One might think that the actor is also intense in reality. However, Hardy is a total goofball and a sweetheart in real life and his Kids Interview with BBC1 proves it.

"I consider myself, I call it, a 'full contact composer.' I'm not a guy that sits behind a piano with a piece of paper..." Now playing in theaters worldwide is the newest awesome George Miller post-apocalyptic action movie - Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga. The movie kicks ass and so does its score. Just like with Mad Max: Fury Road, Furiosa features a score composed by Dutch musician Tom Holkenborg. Before getting into composing scores for movies, Holkenborg went under the moniker "Junkie Xl" and was a techno DJ and producer crafting electronica remixes and tracks galore. After achieving mega fame as Junkie Xl, he moved into composing - one of his first scores is for the video game movie Doa: Dead or Alive (2006). He later composed the scores for the sequels 300: Rise of an Empire (2014) and The Amazing Spider-Man 2 (2014), before being hired by George Miller...

Furiosa Saga Struggles The prequel to 2015’s Mad Max: Fury Road, Furiosa (2024), failed to live up to its predecessor. Picky fans criticized the CGI, comparing it unfavorably to Fury Road’s practical effects. Despite having grand action sequences, its underperformance in theaters and a 60% revenue drop in the second weekend guaranteed it as a box office flop. Beau is Afraid Didn’t Attract Viewers Ari Aster’s $35 million venture, Beau Is Afraid (2023), featuring Joaquin Phoenix, was an unsettling trip for many.

As Dementus put it, hate is “one of the greatest forces of nature.” But he did miss just how closely hope can be tied to it – and George Miller has displayed this in a pretty incredible way, casting a bullied teen in Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga. If you remember, Quaden Bayles appeared in a heartbreaking viral video back in 2020, expressing how hurt and despondent he was over being teased for his dwarfism. But now you can see him as War Pup (master of the Bommy Knocker) in Furiosa, showing that hope should always win out over hate.
Alongside Quaden Bayles, George Miller also cast Sean Millis, a singer with Hunter’s Syndrome, in Furiosa. Millis, like far too many, was also bullied online for his looks, with rather disgusting comments hurled at him over his appearance. Fortunately, people like Miller continued to stand up for him, with even Furiosa...

Forty-five years after George Miller introduced audiences to Mad Max, the auteur faces a potential new challenge in his storied career. The revered filmmaker’s Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga debuted with a modest $32 million domestically over the Memorial Day weekend and an additional $36.5 million overseas. This performance well below expectations casts doubt on Mad Max: The Wasteland, another installment Miller has been developing for years. Nico Lathouris and George Miller penned both The Wasteland and Furiosa during the making of the 2015 blockbuster Mad Max: Fury Road. That film, recognized as an awards season juggernaut, snagged six Oscars...

Mad Max franchise mastermind George Miller recently brought us a new addition to the series with the release of the Mad Max: Fury Road prequel Furiosa (read our review Here) – and while that movie struggles to draw in viewers during its theatrical run, we have decided to take a look back at the first Mad Max sequel, the 1981 classic The Road Warrior (watch it Here). You can hear all about it in the embed above!
Directed by Miller from a screenplay he crafted with Terry Hayes and Brian Hannant, The Road Warrior – which is also known as Mad Max 2 outside of the United States – has the following synopsis: After avenging the death of his wife and young son at the hands of a vicious gang leader, Max drives the post-apocalyptic highways of the Australian outback, fending off attacks from nomadic tribes that prey on outsiders. Falling into an encampment...

Forty-five years after George Miller introduced audiences to Mad Max, the filmmaker may have hit a rough patch in the postapocalyptic wasteland unless he finds some high-octane gasoline soon. The revered filmmaker’s Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga debuted with a disappointing $32 million domestically for the four-day Memorial Day weekend and $36.5 million overseas, diminishing hopes for another Mad Max sequel, Mad Max: The Wasteland, that Miller has been contemplating for years. Boy, were we all wrong. What Miller and his team were able to achieve with ‘Mad Max: Fury Road’ is nothing short of breathtaking. noted Danilo Castro, reflecting...

Akira Kurosawa’s classic epic “Seven Samurai” is celebrating its 70th anniversary with a 4K restoration and theatrical re-release.
“Seven Samurai” centers on 16th-century Japanese warriors who protect their village from invaders. Toshiro Mifune and Takashi Shimura lead the three-hour feature hailing from legendary auteur Kurosawa. “Seven Samurai” was his third film following “Rashomon” and “Ikiru.” “Seven Samurai” famously debuted at the 1954 Venice Film Festival, where Kurosawa won the Silver Lion for Best Director.
The 70th anniversary 4K restoration was made possible by Toho Co. Ltd, which released the original film. The restored film debuted at the 2024 Cannes Film Festival; the festival further honored Kurosawa’s contributions to cinema by incorporating a still of “Rhapsody in August” in the official Cannes poster.
The restoration of “Seven Samurai” will be released in the U.S. by Janus Films. Deadline debuted the trailer.

George Miller, renowned for bringing the post-apocalyptic world of Mad Max: Fury Road to life, is back with Furiosa. This prequel explores the origins of Imperator Furiosa, famously portrayed by Charlize Theron. In the new film, Anya Taylor-Joy steps into the role, a decision rooted in Miller’s choice to avoid de-aging technology. Chris Hemsworth plays the warlord in the upcoming Furiosa film. While fans eagerly anticipate Taylor-Joy’s performance, many are excited about a rumored Mad Max cameo. This brief appearance by Max Rockatansky heightens expectations for those hoping to see Tom Hardy reprising his role. Nonetheless, Furiosa stands strong as...

George Miller‘s Mad Max franchise has left an indelible mark on Hollywood, transforming from a low-budget B-movie into a beloved and enduring series. The original Mad Max (1979) gained a cult following for its gritty, high-octane action and post-apocalyptic vision. The trilogy that followed, featuring Mel Gibson as the titular character, cemented the franchise’s status as a cult classic. But it was Miller’s 2015 reboot, Mad Max: Fury Road, that truly showcased his mastery of the franchise. After nearly three decades away from the series, Miller brought new energy and vision to the table, casting Tom Hardy as a new...

Update: (Monday Pm) As noted yesterday, the margin between the 2nd and 3rd place finish for If and Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga was slim, and in the end, after final figures were reported, their positions at the weekend box office flip-flopped. According to the latest numbers via Deadline, Furiosa made $10.785 million to If‘s $10.5. While that’s only a $285k difference, it gives Furiosa a bit of a better finish, allowing it to reclaim second place, although it trails far behind The Garfield Movie‘s first-place finish with $14 million.

Monday Am: For those keeping track, Paramount’s If did not push Warner Bros.’ Furiosa into third, but the Ryan Reynolds starring, John Krasinski written/produced/directed title did put up a great hold in weekend 3 with -35%. Finals this Am for the top three pics are Sony’s The Garfield Movie at $14M, -42%; Warner Bros’ Furiosa at $10.785M, -59%; and Paramount’s If at $10.5M.
Can’t stress enough that we’ll have to have patience with the box office until Father’s Day weekend and beyond. No major studio event film on any weekend means no box office, and that’s exactly what went on here. With Garfield at $51.5M through ten days, and If at $80.1M, $1.2M ahead of Reynold’s Free Guy at same point in time, the live-action family movies are doing what they’re suppose to do. Minds still boggle over the results of Furiosa,...

In a not-so-surprising twist, Sony's 'The Garfield Movie' overtook Warner Bros.' Mad Max prequel 'Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga' to claim the top spot at the domestic box office this weekend. After an underwhelming Memorial Day weekend, the lazy, lasagna-loving cat pulled in $14 million from 4,108 theaters for a solid $51.5 million total after two weeks, bringing its worldwide gross to $152 million. Not a bad deal considering the film's $60 million price tag.
Meanwhile, 'Furiosa' fell to third place with $10.7 million, bringing the films domestic haul to a disappointing $49.6 million. Warner Bros.' had high hopes for George Miller’s action epic, with stars Anya Taylor-Joy and Chris Hemsworth headlining, and it has fared slightly better overseas with $64.7 million for a $114 million worldwide total. But like its predecessor, 2015's 'Mad Max: Fury Road,' its path to profitability looks increasingly rocky with a budget of $168 million. Wedged between 'Garfield' and 'Furiosa' was John Krasinski's family film flick 'IF.' The Paramount release collected $10.8 million in its third week for an $80.4 million domestic tally.
Notable new releases over the weekend include 'Haikyu!! The Dumpster Battle,' the big screen anime adaptation of the popular manga with $3.5 million, and IFC Films’ slasher flick 'In a Violent Nature,' which brought in $2.1 million.
Overall, it was another disappointing weekend at the movies. With no major new releases, the total box office was down a sobering 65% compared to the same weekend last year. After an encouraging post-pandemic season in 2023—fueled by the blockbuster duo of 'Barbie' and 'Oppenheimer'—it’s a grim start to the summer movie season, with year-to-date revenues trailing 2023 by 24% so far. Hollywood is hoping the worst is behind it, though, as June and July have some (hopefully) guaranteed hits with Pixar’s 'Inside Out 2,' Illumination’s 'Despicable Me 4,' and the year's only Marvel movie, 'Deadpool & Wolverine.'

George Miller’s Mad Max franchise is one of the most revered action franchises of all time. After it spun out the Tom Hardy-starrer Oscar-winning Mad Max: Fury Road, all we got is a prequel about the character Furiosa. Starring Chris Hemsworth and Anya Taylor-Joy, two immensely popular actors, the movie made its debut with rave reviews but has been struggling at the box office.

While even fans described the film as incredible to watch, the movie failing to live up to its expectations at the box office can be attributed to one Star Wars movie. Solo: A Star Wars Story was a bomb at the box office despite being based on one of the best fictional characters of all time. And while the two franchises share little similarity, the fate of Solo seems to predict that Furiosa was deemed to fail.

The Mad Max franchise is unarguably one of the most popular action franchises of all time, created by mastermind George Miller. While the star power connected to it — which includes notable names like Charlize Theron, Tom Hardy, and Mel Gibson — is one factor behind its epic success, its breathtaking action sequences and stunt scenes further set the saga apart from every other.

That being said, in the highest-rated critically commended movie from Gibson’s original trilogy, i.e. Mad Max 2: The Road Warrior, there is a very brutal yet one of the most memorable stunt scenes that could have even resulted in the actor being taken down to surgery. In fact, that scene was brutal enough to rival even Tom Cruise’s ankle-breaking scene in Mission: Impossible – Fallout!

The Mad Max films by George Miller created a new revolution in cinema and cemented the director’s place as one of Hollywood’s most influential filmmakers alongside the likes of George Lucas who also pioneered an iconic franchise with Star Wars. One celebrity who played a big part in Miller’s success was Charlize Theron who starred in the pivotal role of Furiosa in 2015’s Mad Max: Fury Road.

Theron who impressed audiences and critics with her edgy and action-packed performance in the film, was also instrumental in how her character was envisioned and developed from a physical standpoint. It was her inputs regarding the final look of Furiosa and her dismissal of the original ideas for the character that ultimately made the difference.

Back in 2010, it was reported that director George Miller would be shooting two new entries in his Mad Max franchise back-to-back: the sequel Mad Max: Fury Road and a follow-up called Furiosa. But things didn’t work out that way, and making Mad Max: Fury Road on its own proved to quite a struggle – a five month shoot in the deserts of Namibia, with two lead actors (Tom Hardy as Max Rockatansky and Charlize Theron as Furiosa) who couldn’t stand each other. Miller didn’t let the grueling process put him off making more Mad Max movies, though. Immediately after the release of Mad Max: Fury Road in 2015, Miller announced that he had already written a screenplay and a novella of further stories… and Max himself would return in a film called Mad Max: The Wasteland. But nine years have passed, the Fury Road prequel Furiosa is now in theatres,...

The character was played by Charlize Theron in that film but, since Furiosa is a prequel that takes place at least 15 years prior to Fury Road, Anya Taylor-Joy was recast in the role for the new movie. Even operating within the confines of a previously defined character, though, Taylor-Joy was able to make the role her own, according to her co-star, Chris Hemsworth. When...

If the summer box office is ever going to heat up, it’ll have to wait a while longer. In a weekend being led by holdovers, Sony’s “The Garfield Movie” looks to overtake “Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga” for first place on domestic charts.
The marketplace continues to be dire overall, but Sony is doing well for itself. The studio is also putting out the manga adaptation “Haikyu!! The Dumpster Battle” through its anime banner Crunchyroll. Playing in 1,086 locations (including showtimes in a few Imax auditoriums), the high school sports film earned $1.9 million across Friday and preview screenings and looks to take sixth place on domestic charts. It’s just the latest example of how anime has found a niche but dedicated theatrical audience in North America. Not that stateside will make or break “Haikyu!!,” which released in its native Japan back in February and stands as the second-highest...

As expected, The Garfield Movie seems to be squeezing out a victory opposite Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga at the weekend box office. Both films are in their second week of release, and Deadline has Garfield making about $13 million this weekend compared to $11.5 for Furiosa. To note, this margin is pretty slim, so the numbers could easily swing the other way by the time the final figures come in tomorrow afternoon. The Garfield Movie is looking at a roughly 45% week 2 drop, while Furiosa is in the 57% range.
To be sure, those are steeper drops than we anticipated in our box office predictions earlier this week. I expected Garfield to claw its way to the top spot, but I thought decent word-of-mouth would allow both films stronger holds. Alas, that doesn’t seem to be the case. While the makers of The Garfield Movie are probably thrilled with these numbers, as...

Anya Taylor-Joy and Chris Hemsworth starrer Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga opened last week to great reviews. The film had decent anticipation among audiences, following the massive cult following of 2015’s Mad Max: Fury Road, which was a big awards contender. However, the film has been making headlines for all the wrong reasons.

The film is not performing well at the box office despite the impeccable filmmaking and zany qualities that George Miller’s Mad Max films have been known for. Amidst the controversy around the use of AI and the fear of it taking over people’s jobs, the film made creative use of the tool to enhance the film rather than manipulate audiences into believing something it’s not.

One weird thing that happens with long-running franchises is that they eventually reach a point where the creatives leading the new movies grew up as fans of the old ones. Sometimes this is a bad thing — it arguably leads to an increase in lazy fan-service at the expense of any bold, innovative creative decisions — but other times it just makes the whole thing feel even more exciting. To know that the new people in charge truly care about the lore can go a long way in keeping viewers on board.
Even outside the writing and the directing department, it's fun when the actors involved love the series, as was the case with "Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga" star Anya Taylor-Joy. Although it doesn't sound like she's a die-hard fan of the original "Mad Max" films from the '70s and '80s, she does clearly have a ton of respect for "Mad Max: Fury Road,...
