Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny struggles at the box office, earning $81 million on July 4 holiday
Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny continues to underperform during the July 4 holiday weekend, as industry estimates project that the summer action film has earned approximately $82 million in domestic revenues by the end of the holiday.
According to Variety, the James Mangold-directed action
adventure, featuring Harrison Ford reprising his role as the iconic Indiana
Jones for the fifth time, earned an estimated $11.8 million on Monday,
bringing its domestic revenue total to $71 million.
In order to
turn a profit, the movie, which also stars Phoebe Waller-Bridge, Antonio
Banderas, and Mads Mikkelsen, needs to generate stronger numbers. Disney and
Lucasfilm invested $295 million in the production of this motion picture,
adding to the stakes.
Furthermore, the film faced lackluster results during its
international debut, amassing $70.1 million in overseas markets until
Monday, as reported by Box Office Mojo.
Although the July 4
holiday typically does not attract significant theater attendance, it does
assist studios in boosting the overall earnings of their summer blockbusters
released during this period.
