Never underestimate the female crowd. Wait till they find out that Fury Road is a feminist movie.  |

I'm really happy with Mad Max's box office returns, I guess positive word of mouth does still account for something. And I think it'll have some good legs this weekend too.

SnoBorderZero FShuttariAs I said, Tomorrowland isn't gonna be a huge hit. It's tracking at $50 million for the entire Memorial Day Weekend. That's Mad Max level.

It's continuing to drop as top critic scores trickle in. Might be waiting for Netflix for this one after all. |

THIS WEEK IN BOX OFFICE HISTORY10 years ago, Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith came roaring into theaters and spawned popular message board members like VaderStark14 . 20 years ago, Die Hard With a Vengeance restored Bruce Willis' signature franchise to its former glory and became the highest grossing film of the year worldwide. Dracula thebtskink PG Cooper30 years ago, two VERY different movies opened on the same day, Rambo: First Blood, Part II and A View to a Kill. Rambo went on to become the 2nd highest grossing film of the year and James Bond settled for #13. Jibbs Doomsday SnoBorderZero @dukeleto PhantomKnightAnd 35 years ago, Star Wars: Episode V - The Empire Strikes Back was released and screened at theaters with sticky floors. That's right. Tomorrow, May 21st, is the 35th anniversary of The Empire Strikes Back. IanTheCool Wyldstaar Ewok DroppingsRevenge of the Sith grossed $380 million domestically in 2005 which is $481 million in 2015. Will The Force Awaken gross that much... or more? blaster1 Boiiinng docstop donny EdReedFan20 Extermination filmjerk frankyt Hadoken iverdawg Klimber mikeyb RedStorm901 The Moose Rambo: First Blood, Part II grossed $150 million domestically in 1985. That's $344 million in 2015. For comparison sake, that's exactly what Furious 7 has grossed so far. FShuttariThe Empire Strikes Back grossed $209 million domestically in 1980 which is $640 million in 2015. Let's see The Force Awakens gross that!

Probably not a smart move to open "A View to a Kill" on the same day as the 2nd Rambo. Though they're both on par with one another in terms of being really crappy movies.

Part II is the worst of the bunch, so probably not. "Commando" shits on that movie, and every Rambo movie other than the original.

My orginal RedVader handle had nothing to do with Revenge Of The Sith. It was based off of the Red Guards of Emperor Palpatine and darth vader was my favorite villain bare in mind i am talking about old trilogy Vader.

I think Neverending meant that the film brought you to the CS boards in the first place to talk about the movie.

I am kind of surprised. I really thought Mad Max was gona win this weekends box office. Well played pitch perfect 2, well played. Never underestimate the female crowd. Excuse me, I had my priorities straight. I didn't care about Bitches Who Sing 2: Electric Boogaloo. I saw Fury Road. It just took me so long to post here about it because I've been traveling for work and without a computer. |

Tomorrowland made $32 million this weekend, not counting Memorial Day. That's less than Mad Max's debut. Pitch Perfect 2 was close behind with $30 million. It has grossed $109 million total so far. Mad Max: Fury Road grossed $24 million and has reached a total of $88 million. Poltergeist was close behind with $22 million. And in 5th place is Avengers 2 with $21 million. It has grossed over $400 million total domestically.

I have no desire to see Poltergeist in theaters. Maybe when it hits Netflix or Redbox
