Posted by: DTravel on Mar 31, 18:47 in response to EarlyRetirement's post What about Avengers? It is still going to be powerful at...

First, I don't think it was Mel Gibson alone that made the Mad Max movies a cultural phenomena.

Second, the Mad Max movies did become a cultural phenomena and very well known.  Those who like or are even aware of them are far from limited to 50+ in age.

I think the new trailer is very much in the flavor of the promos for the second and third Mad Max movies, especially the second.  If its not to your taste, that's fine, but I think it will be to a lot of people's tastes.  I personally know a number of people who have been looking forward to its release, enough that I don't think it is going to bomb.

Full trailer for [MMAX4] Antibody Mar 31, 10:23

i'll be unable to watch anything else all day {nm} Moviesnob Mar 31, 10:27

I want to watch anything but this. Full trailer doesn't change that sentiment one bit. It'll still find a decent audience. RollingThunder Mar 31, 10:33

different strokes... {nm} Moviesnob Mar 31, 10:34

Holy crap, just realized this IPO'd 16+ years ago? RollingThunder Mar 31, 10:43

the last movie was 30 years ago! {nm} Moviesnob Mar 31, 11:03

Mad Max: A lot of things are wrong. EarlyRetirement Mar 31, 11:27

Somehow I don't think there's a lot of audience overlap between MMAX4 and PTCP2.... :D {nm} DTravel Mar 31, 12:23

What about Avengers? It is still going to be powerful at that point in the Box. And ... EarlyRetirement Mar 31, 13:00

whoa dude! I'm not in my 50's! you are a cruel man! {nm} Moviesnob Mar 31, 13:22

Hey I'm only 36 and I know the Mad Max series... {nm} Dorfman Mar 31, 13:29

Not trying to insult anyone's age EarlyRetirement Mar 31, 15:37

I'll be 43 in 6 weeks and I've seen the films a lot. They were bigger for me than Star Wars. They are permanently on my ipad and I most Moviesnob Mar 31, 16:12

Im 41 and can vouch for that. {nm} Canis Mar 31, 17:18

I've seen all 3 mad max movies {nm} Christopher Walken Mar 31, 16:49

So have i... ugh lol {nm} Dorfman Mar 31, 16:49

OK well what its trading at now, due to release of trailer equates to a 42 million dollar weekend. Which isn't too far fetched from what Dorfman Mar 31, 16:53

or were you saying 40 was way out there? {nm} Dorfman Mar 31, 16:56

Whoa, no Steve Bisley? *tears up ticket* {nm} Roger More Mar 31, 17:54

And with regards to all new cast except for Mel Gibson wasn't most everyone in each Mad Max movie a new character? Dorfman Mar 31, 13:30

Bruce Spence is in both Road Warrior and Thunderdome as different characters {nm} Moviesnob Mar 31, 13:57

I knew there would be an exception. lol {nm} Dorfman Mar 31, 16:54

actually... (spoils) Roger More Mar 31, 17:58

Nice {nm} Dorfman Mar 31, 18:15

agreed! {nm} Moviesnob Mar 31, 19:00

What do you mean it's not your prediction? That's totally just only your opinion/prediction. {nm} Antibody Mar 31, 13:21

It is the predictions I am reading and I happen to agree with some of the logic. I did not think this up on my own. {nm} EarlyRetirement Mar 31, 13:22

It is the predictions I am reading and I happen to agree with some of the logic. I did not think this up on my own. {nm} EarlyRetirement Mar 31, 13:22

What are you reading? Someone else's opinion? Antibody Mar 31, 13:24

I hope it does good Antibody, I am just stating what is on the Internet. Easy to find. {nm} EarlyRetirement Mar 31, 14:58

then cite your sources. There's nothing wrong with having an opinion, but it helps to back it up if you want anyone to take it seriously {nm} Moviesnob Mar 31, 15:04

Sorry, did not know your search engine was down Moviesnob. EarlyRetirement Mar 31, 15:31

Boxofficeflop? Wow, a whole 13 votes and 6 of them predicted it would flop. 50% of voters picked Home to flop as well. {nm} mantleclinic Mar 31, 15:43

And so did all the predictions. Dreamworks build a bad history lately.... EarlyRetirement Mar 31, 16:24

I am one of your investors. Thanks! But this site is just the opinions of very few people, only 8 total votes for Home. mantleclinic Mar 31, 16:34

i could only find boxoffice.com. Since they contradict your "if it breaks 100 mil on HSX call it a victory" I assumed you werent Moviesnob Mar 31, 15:52

That guitar flamethrower just cost me 100k long {nm} Canis Mar 31, 17:24

oh man, dont get me started. I'm gonna watch the whole trailer frame by frame on the tv later tonight! {nm} Moviesnob Mar 31, 17:44

That guitar flame thrower was awesome! {nm} Dorfman Mar 31, 18:23

Opinion, opinion and more opinion. Nobody knows anything. {nm} Antibody Mar 31, 16:01

Your are right about that, including.... {nm} EarlyRetirement Mar 31, 16:26

Cite your sources. It is a basic courtesy. {nm} second gary Mar 31, 16:06

Just because it's on the internet doesn't mean it's accurate\. You should already know. {nm} Antibody Mar 31, 16:08

And this IS the Internet of which you speak. {nm} EarlyRetirement Mar 31, 20:55

No way the Bellas beat this IMO. {nm} Antibody Mar 31, 10:34

Mad Max will beat Bella's, but that is not Max's only problem to score above $38 mil for the weekend box. {nm} EarlyRetirement Mar 31, 11:36

More, please! Can't wait for this! {nm} slappydavid Mar 31, 10:37

Looking forward to this even more than Avengers. {nm} skunkrunner Mar 31, 10:40

Real stunts! No CG cannon fodders. {nm} Antibody Mar 31, 10:46

Just old fashioned LIVE cannon fodder, like grandpa used to shoot. {nm} DTravel Mar 31, 12:17

Damn... I'm speechless {nm} Dorfman Mar 31, 10:41

Regular action movie(more inside) mattep74 Mar 31, 10:49

Can't wait for this. Looks crazy and amazing. {nm} celedhring Mar 31, 11:46

:-) Bring it on. {nm} tatoufan Mar 31, 14:09
