Furiosa Has A Difficult Path To Set A Major Franchise Box Office Record After 44 Years

While the Mad Max franchise has done great at the box office, the upcoming 2024 Furiosa prequel has a long way to go if it wants to set a new record for the series. The Mad Max movies have consistently put in an impressive performance at the box office. For a long time, director George Miller’s original Mad Max was among the most profitable movies ever made, as the 1979 indie earned around $100 million on a budget of only $400,000 (via USA Today). While that record has since been contested by a handful of found footage horror movies, the Mad Max franchise remains a financial hit.
