Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny’s box office numbers continue to drop

Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny continued to underperform in its second week. The film opened to 60 million domestically with a 295 million dollar production budget. Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny was supposed to be a huge moneymaking film for Lucasfilm and Disney as they bid farewell to Indiana Jones in the fifth and final installment.

Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny earned 25 million dollars over the weekend, marking a 58% drop-off from the first weekend. If you include the international receipts, “Crystal Skull” finished with 317 million dollars domestically and 473 million internationally for comparison. At this rate, Indiana Jones 5 won’t come anywhere close to those figures.

Lucasfilm and Disney have been hyping this film since last summer, and much to do was made of this being a huge sendoff for Harrison Ford as Indiana Jones. Given the effort and budget placed behind this film, Disney has to be disappointed with it’s performance. It is unlikely that Dial of Destiny will rebound as the schedule of summer films will only get more crowded.

Not all the news was bad over the weekend for Disney, as Pixar’s Elemental continued to chug along courtesy of excellent word of mouth. The animated film earned an additional 8.4 million dollars bringing its domestic total to 107 million. Elemental is performing well overseas and has earned an additional 142 million. Many thought Elemental would wind up a monumental flop after its initial weekend. Pixar was in desperate need of a box office win after Onward and Lightyear didn’t rack up the numbers and critical acclaim that we have come to expect from Pixar.
