After Furiosa flops, Hollywood could be facing a biblically disastrous summer

Fury Road made sense. The fact that Furiosa is set in between the original Mad Max and the time of Fury Road kinda says "cash grab" to me. No real logical reason to insert this fifth film between films 1 and 4 other than "we don't know how to continue the storyline with something new, so let's just bridge the gaps".

I loved how they bridged the gaps. Further development of the world which made me appreciate Fury Road even more. When I saw the trailers I thought it looked terrible and was a cash grab. After a friend got me to go see it, I was happily proven wrong.

I don't think telling a story out of sequence from existing material means that it's a cash grab.

I think the trailer hurt them more than anything. It looks like a crappy CGI imitation of Fury Road, which I loved.

The reason is clearly "George Miller wanted to make it". In other words: not a cash grab.

No, Miller originally planned to film both Fury Road and Furiosa back-to-back. Not a cash grab.
