Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny (2023) premiered at the Cannes film festival, and earned a lukewarm response from the crowd. Although Harrison Ford reportedly received immense applause upon attending, the film’s reception did not share the same celebration.
The movie currently sits at a 55% All Critics Score on Rotten Tomatoes and a 45% Top Critics score.

Box Office Numbers
During the opening weekend of Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull (2008), the film made just over $100 million. What does Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny (2023) expect to earn 15 years later? $60 million.

Although $60 million is a lot of money, in the sense that any individual would love to earn that amount in a single weekend, it’s a small haul when it comes to a worldwide box office. In addition, the new Indiana Jones film is one of the most expensive movies ever produced at $295 million (it’s number 8 on the list).

Many films lately seemed to have one challenge or another. Some films are loved by moviegoers and panned by critics, while other features are hated by the audience despite having rave reviews. But at the end of the day, a movie’s success comes down to how much money it makes. And Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny (2023) seems to have little going for it. Former Indiana Jones movie fans don’t seem excited, its reviews are ‘meh,’ and there doesn’t seem to be much interest in reviving the aging Indiana Jones franchise (no offense to Harrison Ford).
