‘Indiana Jones: Dial of Destiny’ Global Box Office Comes Up Short
There’s a scene in Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny where Indy’s old friend Sallah sees him off at the airport, and just as Indy is about to leave for a new adventure, Sallah clenches his fist and tells him to “give ‘em hell.” The rousing moment is cut short by a blaring car horn, as Indy is revealed to be blocking the street.
What this also means is that Dial of Destiny must pull off some kind of miracle if it wants to turn a profit. The rule of thumb is that a movie this size needs to gross twice its production budget to break even, which would peg Dial of Destiny's break-even point at around $600 million worldwide. But a comeback isn’t out of the question just yet. Older-skewing franchises like James Bond and Mission: Impossible usually open low, but often have enough juice to sustain them for weeks.
Even the recent Fast X has been able to race past the $700 million mark worldwide after grossing only $67 million in its domestic opening weekend. But the common link between each of these franchises is that they’re just as popular internationally as they are stateside. And this might not necessarily be the case with the Indiana Jones series. Disney certainly bet big on Dial of Destiny, premiering it at this year’s Cannes Film Festival to massive fanfare.
