‘Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny’ Domestic Box Office Gets Slow Start
Disney’s Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny might be staging a critical resurgence, but it’s too early to tell if it’ll be able to defy expectations at the box office. The fifth film in the iconic adventure franchise — the first in the series to not be directed by Steven Spielberg, or have a story by George Lucas — is poised to deliver a relatively modest opening weekend of around $60 million, after grossing $24 million on its first day of release. This includes the $7.
COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Budgeted at an astronomical $295 million, making it one of the most expensive movies of all time, Dial of Destiny was touted as star Harrison Ford’s last adventure as the legendary character, which he began playing in the early 1980s.
Kingdom of the Crystal Skull remains a divisive movie, but it was a bona fide box office hit. Just some weeks ago, however, initial reviews that came out of its Cannes Film Festival premiere foretold a concerning future for Dial of Destiny. But domestic audiences have been slightly kinder to the movie, which currently sits at a borderline “fresh” 68% score from critics on review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes.
The fourth spot was claimed by Sony’s raunchy R-rated comedy No Hard Feelings, which added $2.2 million on its second Friday after a strong $15 million opening weekend. This takes the film’s running domestic total to just under $25 million. Paramount’s Transformers: Rise of the Beasts rounded out the top five with $1.9 million on Friday, which takes the film’s running domestic total to an underwhelming $131 million. The film is struggling globally as well, as it limps past the $350 million mark.
