Part 2/10:

Perhaps the most glaring recent example is the Indiana Jones saga. The fifth installment, Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny, turned out to be a massive disappointment. The film reportedly lost Disney nearly $300 million, a staggering figure that underscores the film's failure at the box office. Beyond financial loss, the film also tarnished the reputation of Indiana Jones himself—particularly due to Phoebe Waller-Bridge's character, which many fans found to be an unwelcome addition that undermined the iconic adventurer.

This flop has cast a long shadow over any future Indiana Jones projects. Fans and critics both are now wary of what could be coming next, fearing that the franchise might continue its recent downward spiral or be mishandled in new adaptations.
