In a remarkable achievement, "Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga" has soared to become the highest-rated movie of the iconic Mad Max franchise among Rotten Tomatoes users. With an impressive audience score of 93%, the film has broken records and garnered widespread acclaim from viewers.

Directed by George Miller, "Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga" features Anya Taylor-Joy in the role of a younger Imperator Furiosa, originally portrayed by Charlize Theron. The star-studded cast also includes Chris Hemsworth, Tom Burke, and Lachy Hulme.

The movie marks a highly-anticipated return to the Mad Max universe, arriving nine years after the previous installment, the critically acclaimed and Oscar-winning "Mad Max: Fury Road." Serving as a prequel to its predecessor, "Furiosa" delves into the backstory of the beloved character, fueling excitement among fans.

Following its release, "Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga" allowed audiences to express their opinions through ratings on Rotten Tomatoes. The review aggregator service calculated an audience score of 93% for the film, giving it the highest audience rating within the Mad Max franchise. While the score is subject to change, even the unverified score of 89% still makes it the highest-rated among all five movies in the series.

However, despite the overwhelming positive audience response, the film's opening weekend box office fell short of expectations. Initially projected to earn $40 million, "Furiosa" is expected to reach no higher than $35 million, facing potential competition from "The Garfield Movie." Although fewer viewers witnessed the film's debut, the high audience ratings offer hope for a positive trajectory in the coming weeks.

A promising precedent can be observed with "Mad Max: Fury Road," which also had a modest opening weekend but went on to achieve remarkable success. With a budget of approximately $150 million, the film grossed $45.4 million initially, eventually amassing a total of $379.4 million worldwide and winning six Academy Awards. Given the prequel's direct link to "Fury Road" and its even higher audience score, it is plausible that positive word of mouth and continuous promotion from its A-list cast can propel "Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga" to a similar level of box office success.

As moviegoers continue to flock to theaters and share their enthusiastic ratings, "Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga" has made an undeniable impact in the Mad Max franchise. With its unprecedented audience score, it remains to be seen how this high praise will translate into sustained box office success, potentially rivaling its predecessor's record-breaking achievements.
