Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga, the fifth installment in George Miller's celebrated action franchise, had its world premiere at the Cannes Film Festival on Wednesday night. The film was met with a seven-minute standing ovation in the Grand Lumiere Theatre as Miller and members of his cast, including stars Anya Taylor-Joy and Chris Hemsworth, looked on.
Furiosa, a $168 million film, is set to be released by Warner Bros. in the U.S. on May 24. This release comes nine years after the previous installment, Mad Max: Fury Road, which starred Charlize Theron and Tom Hardy. The original Mad Max film, released 45 years ago, was a massive success, grossing $100 million on a $350,000 budget.
