It\’a movie that deserves to be seen in a movie theatre over and over again and I wish the box office total will help so that we can see more films with Max Rockatansky (and hopefully Furiosa as well).

The $8.7m figure is domestic boxoffice only – check the box office mojo page for the movie (Indiewire won\’t let me link directly)

A source is hard to find but the world wide box office for Mad Max made it the most profitable low budget films ever until Blair Witch came along.

"

Only if one considers they\’re supposed to cover the bigger stars and not actually actors or films they like. If they\’re just gonna cover what\’s popular and big, why bother doing anything other than Transformers all the time?

That\’s $24.7 million adjusted for inflation so not even close.

I\’m sure you will love the Terminator reboot/sequel much more.

Adjusted for inflation that\’s $283 million.

You\’re totally right, which makes it kind of laughable that IndieWire covers him about a hundred times more than they cover her. Same goes for Mad Max vs. Pitch Perfect2. You\’ve ran dozens of articles about everything from the sand in Mad Max to Hardy\’s "feelings," and yet very little about PP2. Guess it didn\’t make any difference when it came to opening weekend.

No laughs, no gasps, no excitement, just a lot of fidgeting for the last half hour.
