As Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny entered its second weekend of release, Disney deployed a particularly emotional video appeal featuring star Harrison Ford, who reminded audiences that this is, indeed, his last time playing the iconic character. But nothing that the studio has tried so far appears to have helped increase audience interest in the movie, which debuted a week ago to an underwhelming response, both critically and commercially.
COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Dial of Destiny slipped to the second spot at this weekend’s domestic box office chart, as it scraped past the $100 million mark. Globally, the fifth film in the long-running franchise is expected to finish around $248 million by Sunday, according to The Hollywood Reporter. But even after 10 days in theaters across the globe, Dial of Destiny is yet to recover its reported production budget of $300 million .
Disney was bullish about the picture, choosing to premiere it at this year’s Cannes Film Festival, where Ford was bestowed with an honorary Palme d’Or. But the movie attracted disappointing reviews at Cannes, leaving fans concerned. When it opened stateside, the response was only marginally better, although the movie does seem to have earned its admirers.
How Does the Movie's Commercial Performance Compare to Other Indy Installments? It marked director Steven Spielberg’s last film in the franchise, which he created alongside George Lucas in the early 1980s.
Directed by James Mangold, Dial of Destiny also stars Phoebe Waller-Bridge, Antonio Banderas, Toby Jones, Boyd Holbrook, Ethann Isidore, and Mads Mikkelsen. You can watch our interview with Mangold here, and stay tuned to Collider for more updates.
