Indy 5 was okay-ish ... but not as good as the original three movies. 
Of course, there is still the novelisation and DVD releases to come, 
but that won't add a huge amount of money.

And it *is* Disney, so now we wait for the musical, the movie of the 
musical, the reboot, the animated version, the live-action version of 
the animated version, ... Indy aint done yet.  ;-)



    Report: Disney Lost Over $100 Million on Indiana Jones
            and the Dial of Destiny
    ------------------------------------------------------
    Despite the overall love of the Indiana Jones franchise, a recent
    report suggests that the latest film was a major letdown for
    Disney.

    According to financial statements released on Friday (via Forbes),
    Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny spent $134.2 million more on
    making the movie than it it is reported to have earned back. This
    makes the film a significant failure in terms profitable returns.

    Some of the filings for the film also reveal what went into making
    the project, including a whopping $79 million that was spent on
    post-production work, including digitally de-aging Ford. By April
    2023, the film's budget had ballooned to $387.2 million, which
    unfortunately was just about the same as to what the film earned
    at the box office globally ($384 million).


    What is Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny about?
    "Daredevil archaeologist Indiana Jones races against time to
    retrieve a legendary dial that can change the course of history,"
    reads the movie's synopsis. "Accompanied by his goddaughter, he
    soon finds himself squaring off against Jürgen Voller, a former
    Nazi who works for NASA."

    The long-awaited fifth and final installment was directed by 
    Oscar nominee James Mangold (Logan) from a new screenplay he
    co-wrote with Jez and John-Henry Butterworth; both previously
    collaborated on Ford v Ferrari. Mangold took over the director's
    chair after Steven Spielberg exited his directorial duties for
    the film.

    Joining Harrison Ford in his final adventure as Indiana Jones are
    Golden Globe winner Phoebe Waller-Bridge as Helena Shaw, Antonio
    Banderas as Renaldo, Mads Mikkelsen as Jürgen Voller, Thomas
    Kretschmann as Colonel Weber, Boyd Holbrook as Klaber, Shaunette
    Renee Wilson as Mason, and Toby Jones as Basil Shaw. Franchise vet
    John Rhys-Davies also returns as Sallah.

    Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny is available now on Disney+.
