"Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny: A Box Office Curse or Disappointing Success?"
Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny debuted with a $60 million opening weekend in the US, falling short of the projected $65 million. With a massive budget of $295 million, not including marketing costs, the film faces a challenge in turning a profit. It earned an additional $70 million from international markets, bringing its global start to $130 million. The Dial of Destiny opened below its predecessor, Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, which made $100 million in its US opening. Despite the holiday weekend, the film's profitability remains uncertain.
