Thats pretty bad compared to Crystal Skull
shareYeah Crystal Skull had 100m opening (about 140m adjusted to today),
So as the article says 60m be comparable to the last Bond (55m) and MI Fallout (62m).. Disney no doubt be hoping it can pull in similar worldwide figures to those 780-790m which is what Skull did back in 2008 (about 1b adjusted) ..
That's a sad way for Indy to bow out, but no doubt there are some mendacious types at Disney rubbing their hands in glee for the film's failure, so they can jump upon the IP and build a rebooted franchise around it based on their own fever dreams/agenda.
These Hollywood execs are extremely entitled and parasitic. They bring NOTHING to the table, and simply TAKE TAKE TAKE. Anyone who is a *TRUE* progressive liberal, should be loudly calling out such spoiled, greedy, narcissistic individuals.
err.... it ain't continuing either way, but a big loss will likely preclude an immediate reboot - wait 10 years and then maybe.
shareWith a movie labeled "Indiana Jones" losing money for the first time, the franchise is dead for decades. There will be no Disney+ spinoffs.

Indiana Jones and the $300m box office bomb? Harrison Ford's latest installment Dial of Destiny tracking for 'shaky' opening at movie theaters - as film critics brand the film a 'DUD'
Looks like the 3 week old prediction is holding. Won't know international until Sunday.

Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny dug up a solid $7.2 million in previews at the North American box office.
Disney and Lucasfilm’s long-awaited next installment in the action-adventure franchise is pacing to open to $65 million or more over the June 30-July 2 weekend in advance of the July Fourth holiday. The movie’s preview grosses were on par with Fast X ($7.5 million) and ahead of Mission: Impossible — Fallout ($6 million).
On par with Fast X is not exactly a good sign.

I can't help wondering if seeing movies in a theater is a dying thing. Personally, I stopped paying for anything from Hollywood about 10 years ago (I don't think they want my dirty deplorable money anyway), and I doubt there are many like me not going for the same reasons, so that leaves a change of culture more than anything.
Is Hollywood dead, or will people pay money to stream these films at home? Personally, I won't pay for them at home either, but I wonder if the heyday of theatrical blockbusters is generally over.
Hollywood is running with the narrative that people will not go to theaters to watch crappy films because they all got netflix - not realizing that it's because the films they've been producing are crappy.
Anyways, they still have their marvel/DC cashcow which kiddos are gulping up like it's the next best thing, so that's the lifeline of the current theater model. I do think studios will have to seriously cut the budgets in the future - perhaps go with AI actors/writers/music - so that even crappy box office will still end up being profitable. In fact, I often wonder if the current films are already written by AI - the scripts are that crappy lol
I had fun in Nov-Mar. The movies weren't high minded films. They were fun and quirky. The Devils Conspiracy was downright terrible... which made it hilarious.
shareThe theatrical experience is over. The medium have changed. I pay for Apple TV, prime, Netflix & HBO and I see 2 or 3 movies wide each year. Im not going back to seeing a movie wide each weekend. Even actors now with the SAG payments can't make a living for acting ( and live in LA ) unless you are Ben Affleck or similar.
shareI think this time Hollywood is really scared..their tentpole strategy seems to be at the end of it's life. I've heard Hollywood is half of what it was back in the 2000's, very sobering if true.
For far too long American's have been addicted to cheap junk movies. Every Star Wars movie now sucks, but yet many of them gross in the billions. Star Wars S U C K S, and has for a long time buuuuttttt.......now..
..finally..
..people are starting to wake up.
The last movie I saw in theater was Joker in 2019. There's still few interesting movies coming out every year, but I catch them on blu-ray. This year I'm interested in Oppenheimer and Dune. When blu-ray and other physical media dies, so dies my movie hobby. I'm not going to subscribe to streaming services where movies can dissappear without warning or fall victim of censorship.
shareI think Joker was the last one I saw. Like you, I've been waiting for DVDs/Blu-rays.
shareI agree with you, I think movies have had a good run..but it's really over.
shareGet woke go broke.
shareYou are not alone. I haven't paid to see a Hollyweird movie in over 5 years (paid to see 2 in the past 10 years and was horrified with both). No TV as well. That place is Satan's kitchen. Amazing the time and positive energy it frees up.
sharePeople will still go to the theater to see a good film. I think the recent Avatar did well and Top Gun before that.
Based on the criticisms I've read on this particular installment, I'm still left scratching my head on why filmmakers feel the need to shit on the legacy to bring in the new generation.
Take a look at Sound OF Freedom, Avatar 2 or MI7. They make a lot of money. Avatar 2 even appr. 2 billion. So forget this narrative. The audience simply starts to ignore woke Hollywood.

$7.2m domestically on the first day of opening...
