After ‘Furiosa’ Misfires, When Will Summer Movie Season Rebound?
'Furiosa' didn't live up to the hype of 'Max Max: Fury Road,' as evidenced by its box office debut.
“With action elements with appeal to younger moviegoers, it will be interesting to see after the dust settles a bit if ‘Furiosa’ can attract a broader audience,” says Paul Dergarabedian, a senior Comscore analyst. This year was the first in many without a Marvel movie to usher in summer, and none of May’s would-be blockbusters — including Ryan Gosling and Emily Blunt’s action-comedy “The Fall Guy,” director John Krasinski’s family-friendly “IF” and “Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes” — could offset the absence of Earth’s Mightiest Heroes. There are plenty of films on the calendar through August that could galvanize the moviegoing masses, including franchise sequels like “Deadpool & Wolverine,” “Despicable Me 4” and “Inside Out 2,” as well as spinoffs and new stories such as “Twisters,” “A Quiet Place: Day One” and Kevin Costner’s “Horizon: An America Saga.”
