Indy 5 was okay-ish ... but not as good as the original three movies.
Of course, there is still the novelisation and DVD releases to come,
but that won't add a huge amount of money.
And it *is* Disney, so now we wait for the musical, the movie of the
musical, the reboot, the animated version, the live-action version of
the animated version, ... Indy aint done yet. ;-)
Report: Disney Lost Over $100 Million on Indiana Jones
and the Dial of Destiny
------------------------------------------------------
Despite the overall love of the Indiana Jones franchise, a recent
report suggests that the latest film was a major letdown for
Disney.
According to financial statements released on Friday (via Forbes),
Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny spent $134.2 million more on
making the movie than it it is reported to have earned back. This
makes the film a significant failure in terms profitable returns.
Some of the filings for the film also reveal what went into making
the project, including a whopping $79 million that was spent on
post-production work, including digitally de-aging Ford. By April
2023, the film's budget had ballooned to $387.2 million, which
unfortunately was just about the same as to what the film earned
at the box office globally ($384 million).
What is Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny about?
"Daredevil archaeologist Indiana Jones races against time to
retrieve a legendary dial that can change the course of history,"
reads the movie's synopsis. "Accompanied by his goddaughter, he
soon finds himself squaring off against J�rgen Voller, a former
Nazi who works for NASA."
The long-awaited fifth and final installment was directed by�
Oscar nominee James Mangold (Logan) from a new screenplay he
co-wrote with Jez and John-Henry Butterworth; both previously
collaborated on�Ford v Ferrari. Mangold took over the director's
chair after�Steven Spielberg�exited his directorial duties for
the film.
Joining Harrison Ford in his final adventure as Indiana Jones are
Golden Globe winner Phoebe Waller-Bridge as Helena Shaw, Antonio
Banderas as Renaldo, Mads Mikkelsen as J�rgen Voller,�Thomas
Kretschmann as Colonel Weber, Boyd Holbrook as Klaber, Shaunette
Renee Wilson as Mason, and Toby Jones as Basil Shaw. Franchise vet
John Rhys-Davies also returns as Sallah.
