    I saw it Saturday and there were maybe 8 others in the theater at a 6pm showing.

    Movie was mediocre at best. I hated that so much green screen and CGI was used for the car battles. Story was lacking as well. Characters went nowhere.

      mediocre!

      my favorite part was how they showed scenes from Fury Road at the end to remind you about how this is related to an outstanding film.
