Not surprised. For as much as people on the internet love Fury Road (myself included), it didn't do great at the box office, probably didn't even break even. A prequel 9 years later was never going to take off, COVID or otherwise.

It's a funny tendency where niche movies are well remembered by people on places like Reddit so some unlucky producers think another in the series will surely do well. All the while they forget the original was never a hit.
Then there's the opposite like Avatar where people on the internet try to downplay it for years then the sequel comes out to over a billion dollars.

The problem is they keep giving these films way too big a budget. There's clearly an audience for them but they need to be $50-100m films rather than $150-250m

sure but what do you cut from 2049 and still maintain its appeal? the expensive shit are all the shiny visuals and thats like, 70% of what makes the movie better than just saying "bro replicants dude". IMO they could cut harrison ford and save a few mil but that doesnt really fix the problem.

You just scale down how often the big spectacular visuals are on screen, the original had fantastic effects too but most of the film is still small sets. Films like Crimes of the Future and Ex Machina managed to create good sci fi films with memorable visuals for less than 30m

My favorite scene in that movie is when the marine dude gets in the robot that has a proportionate knife attached to its waist. Something about how stupid that is still pops in my head almost 10 years later

Because Avatar is not the type of film for neurodivergent geeks to obsess over because “MUH LORE”
like Soy Wars and capeshit to the point 30 year old adults will be buying merchandise.
Is a movie for casual normie audiences with a simple plot and beautiful graphics, that's it. People don't remember the characters because they're forgettable but the formula works well enough to gross over a couple billion dollars at the box office.

Funny enough there are some Disney adult adjacent types who are really into Avatar and its world and whatnot. They're just not common on Reddit and other nerd spaces.
For them it's about visuals and immersion and not the kind of things Brando Sando readers would be looking for.

I remember Jake Sully. I had forgotten about Neytiri before watching the second, so I used the actors names.

Like one of those movies that isn't actually important in any real way but is just consistently popcorn-enjoyable so you keep rewatching it. I've got a few of those.

Did any of the films do good at the box office? I mean the first one had good numbers but because the budget was abysmal
Jump in the discussion.

If we're going by the 2.5x rule, the original trilogy made fat stacks because of limited budgets.
But nothing could beat the original. That shit 500x'd the budget.

I saw it and it's good, but yeah, "Fury Road" had the greatest trailer in the history of motion pictures and barely broke even. Even if you like it--and I think Furiosa is cool--still, never has this gender reversal in boyish action genres ever been GREAT business. Shouldn't have got high on Hollywood's supply, George Miller.

Skill issue. Star Wars prequels made money, and those movies weren't even good
Jump in the discussion.
No email address required.
It's because the cynicism/cautiousness hadn't set in yet. We saw them all in theatre and we mostly got frustrated at the slow parts/romance scenes in the second I think. Third I don't even remember except for "do not want". Had the internet existed back then as it does now we wouldn't have bothered with prequel 2 and 3.
