Part 5/10:
Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny has faced a litany of issues since its release, with insiders pointing to post-pandemic shifts, franchise fatigue, and perhaps lukewarm audience reception. Its international tally after ten days is just under $127 million, a disappointing figure considering expectations of at least $250 million globally. The film’s performance suggests Disney’s beloved franchise might be nearing the end of its cinematic lifespan, especially as screens shift toward future events like Mission: Impossible.
