Verified Score right now sits at 91% with 100+ votes

Frankly I would shocked if it gets lower then an A- on Cinemascore, audiences seem to be liking it. Would be the only really good news for it at the moment, so rooting for that.

Under performed expectations for sure but that's because everyone's expectations were incorrect, mine included. I think too many people saw what Top Gun did and just ran with 80's nostalgia + major IP + summer = big box office. 

Also because Crystal Skull did pretty well on 2008. 3rd Highest Grossing movie domestically of that year.

I think it will have solid legs but the opening is so low and the budget is so high so it won't matter

Indeed it did, but I guess in many ways that was Indy's TFA or TGM. Just like a SW film wouldn't pull anywhere near $950M today even with inflation and all of that, so to will DOD not touch $300M.

That's all I care about right now. That it is well liked by moviegoers overall and I that I and my friends I go with enjoy it.

should not be surprising if lazy sequels like Afterlife get in 90s too with low critic scores 

[The Dark Alfred]

Expected number. It was projected to land in the low 60s and that's exactly where it's heading.

Yep reacting to  Deadlines wide ranging estimates based on nothing concrete at all.  Already time to tap out on this thread. 

I mean, it would be weird to ignore Deadlines estimates just because you don't like them.

Idk how I got notifications for this when I haven’t commented but it’s no big deal.

 

anyway, not great to see those numbers. Let’s see what comes next.

OUT, way out, like I’m really starting to wonder what I’m missing here that other people see 

From the Indy over $550M domestic club. To be fair, I wasn’t in sub-$200M range back then, but my starting point was like ~$250M

RIP Hollywood

We'll see what Friday's numbers look like. As well as it how it holds Saturday through Tuesday. A 5-day holiday weekend means multipliers are going to be quite generous across the board.

Its over for the nostalgic toy commercial. 

[GambitPool]

Top Gun: Maverick proved that audiences want to see the main character still kick ass while helping the young generation. That was a film that completely respected Mav, almost deified him, while also developing his guilt over Goose and his hesitancy to train younger pilots who can't match his skill. 

 

Indy's trailers told same story as Han, Luke, Wolverine, Keaton's Batman, etc. Made him depressed, out of his prime, no purpose in his twilight years. So some plucky young hero can save him from himself. Audiences weren't buying this again. They want Maverick and No Way Home type stories.

even if ti goes up to 7 or even 8 that is still a bad result 

[GOGODanca]

Maverick besides having out of this world WOM also had way more pent up demand as the fans went 36 years between films, Indiana Jones had multiple different potential franchise endings and still chose to come back with a seemingly ok at best movie

OUT but I like your boldness. It's a big win if it lands. I'm thinking it'll be about $150-200M less than that. 

 

 

I was thinking mid-3's. About half as many tickets as Crystal Skull. It'll probably end up being closer to a quarter as many tickets.

I mean, Harrison Ford is 80s, it is extremely difficult that he could be on his prime.

 

I really doubt the story issues you mentioned have so much relevance in the preview numbers, since a lot of people don't know about the story when they're going to see the movie. 

 

At most, it shows a lack of interest in the current Indiana Jones.
