Budget to Box Office[edit]

According to the source provided Furiosa only made $58,000,000. Not $65,000,000+ as stated by the wiki article.

Also, there are discrepancies in the budget. According to The New York Times Furiosa cost between $168,000,000-$233,000,000. The article should be updated to reflect those discrepancies.

The article also clearly claims the movie made $58,300,000. Why is there a difference? Typically Box Office Mojo is used, not The Numbers. WhowinsIwins (talk) 17:50, 27 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Too much focus on US reviews.[edit]

I agree that US is the most significant market for feature films. But please do keep in mind that there are other significant markets too. They may not have the muscle power of USA in the industry gained through USD revenue numbers and Award Ceremonies. But they do support with significant box-office admission numbers. https://flixpatrol.com/market/box-office-revenues/ Would be great if film reviews from other markets are also shown in Wikipedia.

But the muscle power of the U.S. itself is diminished compared to say, 2014. Ten years ago movies made in the US make 90% of worldwide revenues but now it's 80%. The difference is there.213.230.92.151 (talk) 12:26, 31 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Rules for Updating Box Office Figures[edit]

There are currently two cited sources of box office data: Box Office Mojo and The Numbers. It seems the current norm is to periodically choose the source that posts the higher box office figure and use it for the article. Is this the standard way to handle box office figures for all movie articles? Also, on a side note, why do the box office references each contain an archival link? 66.215.184.32 (talk) 16:46, 30 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Village Roadshow Pictures[edit]

I think the question of whether Village Roadshow Pictures produced this movie is turning into an edit war. Starting this topic in the hope it will lead to consensus.

Points against including VRP: (1) Obviously VRP was not listed in the opening credits. (2) As the Wikipedia page indicates, VRP did not co-fund the movie. (3) The VRP website includes Fury Road on its movie list but not Furiosa. (https://vreg.com/film/)

Points for including VRP: (1) Obviously VRP was part of the trailer (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XJMuhwVlca4) (2) Cannes (where the movie premiered) lists VRP on its website. (https://www.festival-cannes.com/en/press/press-releases/furiosa-a-mad-max-saga-world-premiere-at-the-77th-festival-de-cannes/)

If you may have noticed, the VRP logo was only a part of the first trailer, NOT the most recent ones. It is nowhere to be found. Plus, the fact that it does not appear in the film itself should be enough reasoning to not include it in this article. Also, on the 25th of May, after the film's release, Deadline Hollywood reported that Village Roadshow Pictures, who had co-financed Fury Road, did not co-finance Furiosa—per https://deadline.com/2024/05/box-office-furiosa-garfield-memorial-day-1235938017 Fanaticaddict (talk) 23:12, 1 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
In the absence of any contrary arguments, I think today's revision (https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Furiosa:_A_Mad_Max_Saga&oldid=1226991500) by 2601:58c:c280:5600:9c02:d176:5807:39d5 is more or less appropriate. I believe it properly lays out the competing facts while at the same time deferring to the producers as listed in the opening credits. In particular, at this time, I do not think anyone has provided a sufficient basis to rebut the opening credits (which don't credit VRP) by listing VRP as a co-producer in the Furiosa infobox. In addition, I think today's editor has provided a reasonable explanation for why Warner Bros. would not have included VRP in the production. If additional evidence emerges showing that VRP actually co-produced Furiosa, that evidence (properly cited, of course) can be added at that time. 209.122.123.7 (talk) 01:48, 3 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
