I doubt it's going to do $100-200m WW that's done right insanity even by this forum's standards. 

I agree it should easily do that domestically alone. I’m predicting $500M WW which mean it’s a flop.

[Jonwo]

I think it'll do well enough because it's Harrison Ford's last Indiana Jones not to mention it has two weeks to itself.

the thing about debuting at cannes is that you don't get the softball critics out early like most blockbusters so maybe this is as bad as it gets but idk.

 

sidenote: it really seemed to be a thing this year with this and elemental where people here were saying "it's premiering at cannes it must be good" when that's never been a mark of quality blockbusters or otherwise???

So this is going to be just as divisive as the previous one was even without the inflated expectations of that movie (given that Spielberg was back in the director's chair)? Disappointed, ngl.

This should be the nail in Kathleen Kennedy’s coffin if reviews continue down this path and it isn’t successful.

This probably explain why no star wars movie?

Well for Pixar, they had Up and Inside Out at Cannes and those were very warmly received.

Not sure what the history of not-in-competition movies there are outside of Star Wars III though.

Well sure, but also no one liked Star Wars IX.

[cannastop]

who the heck said this is only going to do $200m WW.

That's crazy talk.

Trust it wont.

How did this go from 60% to 43% but still has the same number of reviews it did with 60%?

INDIANA JONES has already open review, early 7 reviews(3 fresh, 4 rotten)on Tomatoes, the studio looks like suicide

[Cmasterclay]

Remember when No Time To Die shocked people with how low it went? Same idea. Legendary brand billed as the grand finale of an icon. People ignore months of mediocre trailer views and tracking. Gets slightly disappointing reviews. Has an aging and white audience in a time when that's the worst demographic to release a movie to. Same thing. This has worse reviews but that had worse COVID situation so I'll call it even.

 

I agree it's obviously not doing Ghostbusters: Afterlife numbers WORLDWIDE. But if you don't think it can do 50/150 domestically like NTTD, keep dreaming.

I think she’s already pretty much out they’re just waiting to announce it after Dial of Destiny gets released.

probably just a glitch

This will probably end up having a similar run to Solo, which made around $215M total. Don't know what international prospects will be like but probably another IP where the domestic share is over 50% of the worldwide total.

I really don't think you can call it even there...

[ringedmortality]

So those bad test screenings Ruimy reported on were accurate after all
