Movies Like Furiosa Were Never Meant to Save Hollywood
Briefly

Honestly, most of us shouldn't care. The important thing about Furiosa is that it exists, mad and uncompromising. So what if it flopped? So did Fight Club, and Speed Racer, and The Adventures of Baron Munchhausen, and It's a Wonderful Life - movies that didn't make anybody any real money at first but that made the world of cinema a richer place.
In truth, whenever you're talking about individual decisions made (or not made) by millions of people, the reasons will vary greatly... Ironically, it's a transition that many of us have wanted for some time: Fewer gigantic productions that need massive opening weekends to justify their humongous costs; more solid films that can turn a profit over a few weeks and months thanks to good word of mouth.
