'Indiana Jones And The Dial Of Destiny' Is Expected To Get About $65 Million Dollars Opening Weekend
Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny will be the first theatrical installment to the franchise since 2008. According to Variety, the film is looking at an estimated $65 million domestic revenue and $80 million internationally, bringing the estimated total opening weekend revenue to over $145 million. As the film is releasing on a holiday weekend in the United States, there will likely be some degree of a revenue boost for the overall totals.
The film was first shown at the 76th Cannes Film Festival in May. Critic reviews have been a mixed bag thus far, though the numbers are fluctuating since early screening viewers can weigh in. For the film itself, the budget was $294.7 million; this is the most expensive addition to the franchise. Turning a profit from the box office revenue will be a bit of a struggle.

The film was directed by James Mangold, who also co-wrote it with Jez Butterworth, John-Henry Butterworth, and David Koepp. Cutting-edge technology was utilized to de-age Harrison Ford for certain portions, which added a hefty load to the expenses yet proved the usefulness of the technology.
Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny will mark the end of Indiana Jones movies at this time. Ford’s Indiana Jones will return for one more adventure as he “races against time to retrieve a legendary artifact that can change the course of history,” according to IMDb. The film officially hits theaters on June 30.
