Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny opens at the lower end of projections, a disappointing result that was outperformed by Solo: A Star Wars Story.
Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny can't compete with Solo in its opening weekend. The movie, which opened in theaters on June 30, has been billed as the final adventure for superstar Harrison Ford in the title role, which originated in 1981's Raiders of the Lost Ark.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Per Deadline, the Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny box office is going to close its opening weekend with a hugely disappointing total at the domestic box office. As of Sunday morning, it is projected to reach a 3-day total of $60 million. This is far below the movie's original projections, landing even lower than Lucasfilm's 2018 flop Solo: A Star Wars Story, which opened with a 3-day total of $84.4 million.
Why Indiana Jones 5 is Tanking So Hard There are many factors that should have made Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny a surefire hit. For one thing, it has been well-publicized that the movie will be Harrison Ford's final outing in the role, and final entries in franchises tend to get a box office boost. For another, it was released on a holiday weekend in the U.S. as Independence Day is on Tuesday, giving some workers an extended 4-day weekend.
However, that has clearly not turned out to be the case. It's probable that the weekend was tanked by the Indiana Jones 5 Rotten Tomatoes score, which debuted Rotten in May after its Cannes premiere. Although the movie has crossed over to become Fresh in the intervening month and a half, there was a lot of time for audiences to find out about this reaction and sour on the movie.
While this doesn't account for its low total, Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny 's production budget is a huge factor in the movie's grim future prospects. The budget has been estimated to be as high as $329 million before factoring in publicity costs that were likely $100 million or more. With such a high budget and an inflated run time that decreases the number of possible screenings per day, the movie was setting itself up to not turn out much of a profit no matter what.
