Zelda Director Weighs In On Furiosa’s Box Office Miss
Wes Ball, a veteran Hollywood director known for the Maze Runner series and Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes, has weighed in with his thoughts following Furiosa’s slow start at the box office.
The director, who is also signed on for the live-action Zelda film, said people who enjoy the theatrical experience need not worry, because “movies will be okay.” He said he believes the film business is like many others in that there are peaks and valleys, but ultimately strong storytelling will draw people back to the theater.
He also contended that George Miller came back to make Furiosa not because 2015’s Fury Road was successful at the box office, but because the film was beloved. “Movies will live on,” he said.
