MOVIE NEWS | 9 Reasons Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny Bombed!

Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny cost a reported $300 million dollars, but it only opened to $60 million domestically or $130 globally.  When you factor in marketing and the theaters cuts, this movie needs to make $800+ million to break even.  

What happened?

Here's 9 reasons I think Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny dramatically underperformed opening weekend!

00:00 Intro
01:30 $300m was waaay too expensive 
05:28 Crowded market place
07:32 Crystal Skull made audiences skeptical
09:48 No Spielberg increased skepticism
11:01 LucasFilm in general has people skeptical
13:18 Leak sites/fandom menace/anti-woke sites stirred up more skepticism
15:20 Early reviews confirmed skepticism
17:36 The movie is polarizing
19:24 Younger generations aren't as interested in Indy & movies starring 80 year olds
