Indiana Jones And The Dial Of Destiny Could Struggle To Make A Profit After $60 Million Debut

Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny officially opened in theaters on June 30, but the film technically debuted on Thursday night with the first preview screenings. The movie earned $7.2 million from these previews in the US, to kickstart the film’s first weekend at the box office Come from Sports betting site VPbet . The full first-weekend numbers are in, and the movie earned $60 million in the US, below the $65 million it was projected to make, according to Variety.

$60 million is a big number, but The Dial of Destiny is one of the most expensive movies to be made in the history of filmmaking, carrying a gargantuan $295 million budget. What’s more, the $295 million budget does not cover marketing and promotional costs.

The Dial of Destiny earned another $70 million from international markets for a total first-weekend global start of $130 million. For comparison, The Flash made $139 million globally during its first weekend worldwide–and that movie cost $100 million less to produce.

Comparing to the last Indiana Jones movie, The Dial of Destiny opened well below 2008’s Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, which earned $100 million for its US opening back then. The Dial of Destiny should benefit from the 4th of July holiday in the US.
