If you’re one of the many people who didn’t catch Furiosa in theaters but remain curious about the film, you can stream the first 10 minutes for free right now.
As Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga still holds strong in cinemas despite dwindling showtimes, a timely release on video-on-demand earlier this week brought the Anya Taylor-Joy-led prequel to audiences worldwide, eliminating the need for a physical trip to the cinema to experience it. Regardless of your enthusiasm for watching director George Miller’s latest film in a cinema or at home, you’ll still incur a cost whichever option you choose. Lucky for you, US film ticketing company Fandango is offering a free sneak peek at the first 10 minutes of a movie.
Conveniently, these 10-minute snippets are available to view free of charge on Fandango’s Twitter, requiring no sign-up or registration. While Twitter’s primary focus isn’t high-quality video service, its users have found ways to simulate nostalgia by sharing low-resolution clips reminiscent of the early YouTube era, where enthusiasts would upload 5-minute anime segments in 360p resolution.
Despite a vitally positive reception to Furiosa, the film ultimately failed to register a significant box office impact. On a fund of $168 million, it has been rebalanced to exactly $168.2 million – a seemingly negligible difference that may raise eyebrows among those who are not mathematically inclined. While the possibility exists that the film’s digital launch could potentially boost its underwhelming performance at the box office, this doesn’t necessarily guarantee a bright future for the Mad Max franchise. Let’s sincerely hope for a black-and-white reduction of Furiosa akin to Mad Max: Fury Road, but only if fate permits it to see the light of day.
