The fifth and final Indy film with Harrison Ford premieres across the country June 30, and expectations couldn’t be higher.

After all, this is Ford’s final time cracking the whip and wearing the iconic fedora.
Reviews have been really bad.

However, the film has been plagued by bad reviews and the expectation that it will disappoint at the box office.

Now, dozens more critic reviews have flooded in on Rotten Tomatoes and the numbers remain incredibly brutal.

As of Tuesday, the film is sitting at a horrific 57% rating after 83 reviews from critics. That’s not just bad. That’s the kind of movie that gets thrown in the trash and forgotten about as soon as it’s over.

Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny, the highly anticipated finale of the franchise, is set to hit theaters with hopes of surpassing its predecessors at the box office, despite facing the worst reviews in the series. According to analysis by Deadline, the film aims to achieve a domestic opening of $60 million to $65 million and a global debut of $140 million or more.

The performance of popcorn flicks in the post-pandemic era have shown that critical acclaim is not their sole determining factor. Despite unfavorable reviews, Jurassic World: Dominion earned $145 million in its domestic opening. Similarly, The Little Mermaid started with $118.8 million over four days. Dial of Destiny holds a 65% fresh rating, lower than previous chapters Raiders of the Lost Ark (93% in 1981), Temple of Doom (77% in 1984), Last Crusade (84% in 1989), and Kingdom of the Crystal Skull (77% in 2008).

First day of Indy 5, June 30, 2023: $24,000,000



Kingdom of the Crystal Skull Production Budget: $185,000,000 ($261,322,392.16 adjusted for inflation)

Indy 5 Production Budget: $300,000,000



So it cost almost $40 Million more to make this one, adjusted for inflation, and it made a little more than 1/6th than crappy Crystal Skull made.

It was also shown in 340 more theaters than Crystal Skull was, so that was a lot of empty seats.



Spin this whatever way you'd like, media. Disney is done.

Media for the most part is in full spin mode wherever it can be on this one, but some of the more reputable outlets aren't going to ruin whatever is left of their credibility trying to make this look like a win for Disney.

But Truman saw it differently; as far he was concerned, America should now use its monopoly on this new weapon as much to its advantage as it could. At the meeting, he told Oppenheimer that the country should first deal with the national situation – figure out authority and the rules of secrecy over the new weapons, that is – and then they should bother with what the international implications would be. But Oppenheimer saw it differently, telling the president that they must first define the problem internationally. Truman then asked how long it would take the Soviets to build the bomb. When Oppenheimer waffled the president leaned closer and said, “Never”. Oppenheimer did not quite know what to make of Truman’s response. Searching for words he said, in some anguish and with the drama he sometimes displayed, “Mr. President, I think I have blood on my hands.” Truman was startled, and one account has him offering Oppenheimer his handkerchief and saying, “Here, would you like to wipe it off?”. Another account has him saying, “Never mind, it’ll all come out in the wash.” An awkward silence followed, after which the two men shook hands and Truman told Oppenheimer he was hoping the physicist would help them all make sense of the new world they were in.

In reality Truman was infuriated. He later told Dean Acheson, the new Undersecretary of State, “I don’t want to see that son-of-a-bitch in this office ever again…blood on his hands dammit, he hasn’t half as much blood on his hands as I have. You just don’t go bellyaching about it.” Six months later he was still smarting from the exchange, calling Oppenheimer that “cry-baby scientist”. Truman, the autodidact country farmer from Missouri, had fundamentally misunderstood what the scientists had, especially when he mentioned his belief that the Soviets would never get the bomb: building the bomb was a question of resources, manpower and basic science. Any country with smart scientists and the will – and the Soviet Union certainly qualified – could figure it out within a few years. There was no big “secret” to keep. Citizens of the open republic of science, Oppenheimer, Bohr and their fellow scientists had understood this fundamental fact; the politicians had not. The Oppenheimer-Truman exchange, similar to the Bohr-Churchill exchange two years before, was symbolic of a continued misunderstanding between science and politics which would heat up the arms race between the two countries and, among other things, ultimately cause Oppenheimer’s downfall.

Indy has very little time left to make any real amount of money to chip away at the financial disaster it's created for Disney/Lucasfilm this year.

I'm hearing that Barbie is some pretty woke trash, so I almost hope not.

It's like watching a race to the bottom.

It's a laugh either way.

Every one of the 9 movies above it on the Domestic list for 2023 had a lower budget, but SoF is the only movie with a micro-budget to beat it.

1. The Super Mario Bros. Movie: $100 Million
2. Barbie: $145 Million
3. Spider-Man: Across the Spiderverse: $100 Million
4. Guardians of the Galaxy: Vol 3.: $250 Million
5. The Little Mermaid: $250 Million
6. Oppenheimer: $100 Million
7. Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania: $200 Million
8. John Wick: Chapter 4: $100 Million
