‘Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny’ Box Office Preview Swings High
In Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny, Harrison Ford is rolling back the years - quite literally, in some cases - to take up the mantle of Indiana Jones again, and it looks like that will also see Dr. Jones take top spot at the box office after its opening bow. Ford is hanging up the fedora and the whip after 42 years of playing the intrepid archaeologist, and it looks like fans are keen to see him one last time.
Those are strong numbers, especially considering that the core audience for Indy is an older one now, given the age of the franchise and it's leading man, but Disney has a big problem - the budget. The House of Mouse spent $295 million on the movie's production, and that isn't including the extravagant costs spent on marketing, premieres or the big unveiling at the Cannes Film Festival. It's looking like Indy will need to find $600 million worldwide just to break even.
Uneven, But Thrilling Dial of Destiny is the first film in the franchise not to be directed by Steven Spielberg, whose last Indy film was the poorly-received Kingdom of the Crystal Skull in 2008. That film grossed $790 million from a $185 million budget. Spielberg handed the camera over to James Mangold who brought the focus on an aging Indy struggling during the space race, and fighting his old foes, the Nazis.
