‘Mad Max with a Girl’ Faces Worst Memorial Day Weekend Debut in 41 Years

Breitbart Reports: They called it Mad Max, put a girl in it, and now Woke Hollywood’s staring down the throat of the worst Memorial Day weekend opener in 41 years—since Return of the Jedi in 1983. Before we get to the Sycophant Media’s lamer-than-lame excuse for this failure, we’ll start with the boilerplate…


“Ouch, it’s looking really bad,” reports the far-left Deadline. Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga could post the “lowest opening for a Memorial Day movie in 41 years with a 4-day between $31M-$35M. How the holy heck is that?”


If Mad Max with a Girl “comes in on the low end,” Deadline adds, “the last time a No. 1 movie or Memorial Day opening title filed a 4-day gross take that was lower was back in 1983 when Return of the Jedi made $30.5M.”


Back in 1983, it should be said, a $30.5 million opening was huge. Today, it’s a catastrophe. As of right now, it’s looking like the best Mad Max with a Girl could do is have the worst Memorial Day opening weekend in a mere 40 years, or since Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom opened to $33.9 million in 1984.


I saw both Return of the Jedi and Temple of Doom on their opening weekends. I don’t have a good memory, but I sure remember those two experiences. Man, back then we had it so good we had no idea how good we had it. But at least we had it.


Anyway, the sycophants at Deadline are in a tough spot with Furiosa. The prequel to Mad Max: Fury Road earned great reviews, opened on the perfect weekend for a blockbuster, and with no competition in its action lane. What’s more, it’s based on a successful franchise and Warner’s promoted the living hell out of it. So how does Deadline explain away this breathtaking failure? How does Deadline write around the truth of how stupid it is to make a girl the star of a movie called Mad Max?
