'Furiosa' earns $32 million over Memorial Day weekend, a significant drop from past franchise films.
Industry-wide challenges, including a shift to streaming and economic factors, impact box office performance.
Recasting the lead role and the lengthy gap since 'Fury Road' contribute to audience disinterest.
Marketing efforts failed to distinguish the film from its predecessor, leading to lukewarm reception.
Director George Miller remains committed to the franchise, emphasizing character-driven storytelling.
