Three Thousand Years of Longing: Flops of 21st Century

Three Thousand Years of Longing is George Miller’s follow-up to his critical and commercial hit, Mad Max: Fury Road.

The tale stars Tilda Swinton as a scholar who finds herself meeting a djinn (Idris Elba) and contemplating what three wishes to make.

As the scholar and the djinn debate the ethics of wish-making, Miller flashes back through history to depict elaborate memories of the djinn’s three thousand years wandering the globe.

The Amazon Studios release tanked at the box office with a paltry $2 million opening.
