"Indiana Jones 5: The Wheel of Destiny" is dismal at the box office or the most loss-making film in 2023
Directed by James Mangold and starring Harrison Ford, Phoebe Waller-Bridge, Max Mikholson, Antonio Banderas and more, Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny, is being released worldwide!
"Indiana Jones 5" had a global box office of $130 million in its first week, which was less than expected! Not only is it as dismal as the box office of "The Flash" in the first week (the box office in the first week is flat), but even half of the box office level of "Indiana Jones 4" in the same period has not reached! (Indiana Jones 4 grossed $272.2 million in its first week of the world!) ）
North America grossed $60 million in the first three days of the first weekend, including $7.2 million at the early opening and $24 million on the first day of Friday. The weekend five-day box office (including the Independence Day holiday) is expected to be $82 million.
The first-week box office outside North America was $70 million. The big box office includes: the United Kingdom 8.9 million US dollars, France 5.9 million US dollars, Japan 4.7 million US dollars, Germany 4.1 million US dollars, South Korea 4.1 million US dollars, Spain 4 million US dollars, Australia 3.8 million US dollars, Italy 2.7 million US dollars...
The box office in the first three days of Chinese mainland was 16.4 million yuan/2.26 million US dollars. The box office is not only lower than popular domestic films such as "Disappearing Her", "I Love You" and "In the Octagon" (point screening), but even "Transformers: The Rise of the Power Warriors" and "Spider-Man: Across the Universe" and other earlier Hollywood films have not been hit... At present, the arrangement has dropped to 2.9%, which is very miserable!
In terms of word of mouth: "Indiana Jones 5" CinemaScore North American audience score is only B+, Douban score is 7.3, and currently 11,000 people score. Such a reputation does not seem to be enough to make the film's box office "later strength"!
It is worth mentioning that although Disney has not officially announced the production cost of "Indiana Jones 5", according to the latest report of Deadline, the production cost of "Indiana Jones 5" reached 329 million US dollars, higher than the 250 million-295 million range previously reported by other media. This means that the film will not only become the most loss-making film in 2023, but even have the potential to compete for the title with the highest loss in film history, or break Disney's own "Alien Battlefield" (loss of $200 million), "The Lone Ranger" (loss of $1.6/$190 million) and "Strange World" (loss of $198 million) three of the biggest losses in film history.
