The final movie in the saga with Harrison Ford is on track to be the biggest flop of the year

Bad news for “Indiana Jones and the Dial of Fate”: The movie stars Harrison Ford It crashed at the box office premiere with worse data than those recently harvested by ‘Flash’. All over the world, the adventure movie with Estimated revenue is $130 millionBut while the capital’s production reached 139 million.

To this we must add that Indiana Jones and the Dial of Fate is more expensive than The FlashWith some sources putting its budget even above $300 million, a figure that rises by an additional 100 million due to the investment in the promotional campaign. Come on, how easy is it to go over $1,000 million to be profitable, something very few movies have achieved and virtually impossible to happen in the case at hand.

Of those 130 million that the “Indiana Jones 5” earned, 60 million belong to North American theaters and 70 to the rest of the world. It is true that in the US it will add a few more million to celebrate July 4th, but it will still not be enough, as it is estimated that it will bring in another 12 million on Monday and another 10 million on Tuesday.

The only thing that is clear is that The audience was not willing to see “The Dial of Fate”, well, “Kingdom of the Crystal Skull” debuted in the US with 100 million 15 years ago. To this we must add that perhaps too many blockbusters get released and almost all of them end up falling short at the box office.

In addition, the movie “Indiana Jones and the Dial of Fate” is also not very exciting for the audience, since it bypasses the fourth part of the legendary saga, but the ratings of North American viewers put it on the same level as titles such as “X-Men Origins: Wolverine”, “The Amazing Spider-Man 2”, Venom or Black Adam. This leads one to believe that his stamina in the coming weeks will not be entirely good.

So, Indiana Jones and the Dial of Fate is likely to be the big flop of 2023 — and wait until it ends up ditching Disney’s other top-grossing blockbuster of all time — a year in which the box office disappointments never stop piling up. For my part, the movie that made me feel so sad because it hit the box office was “Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves,” my favorite adventure movie so far in 2023.
