Mad Max: Fury Road tops weekend box office 30 years after last instalment
Three decades since the last instalment George Miller has shown some franchises can endure the test of time with Mad Max: Fury Road topping the weekend’s box office, taking $6.197m from 542 screens.
The post-apocalyptic film, which stars Tom Hardy and Charlize Theron and is the fourth in the series, is also the number one new release at the global box office having earned US$109.4m (AU$136.2m).
Pitch Perfect 2, which stars Aussie comedian and actress Rebel Wilson, came second on its second weekend, taking $5.806m to take total earnings to $18.025m.
I’ll save everyone the trouble – Mad Max isn’t that good at all.
sorry mad at max, you’ve got it wrong, it kicks arse – pure and simple. Watch the first one again and compare and contrast.
Standing ovations at Cannes. Can’t wait to see it!

Wot? WAITING? I would have expected it to have already been torrented to half the planet by now!
It is SPECTACULAR. Saw it twice in two days and I’d see it again. It’s brilliantly inventive, loved everything about it (see it on the largest screen you can).
