Harrison Ford brought the legendary titular character Indiana Jones back to the big screen this weekend with “Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny,” but its opening box office showing was lower than advance estimates
The movie grossed $60 million in the United States and $70 million internationally, bringing the fifth and final installment of the storied franchise’s global box office to $130 million on its 3-day opening. “Dial of Destiny” reportedly cost nearly $300 million to make, which makes the open weekend box office numbers underwhelming and a tall hurdle for the movie to clear in order to profit.
Ford, who first portrayed Jones in 1981’s “Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark,” told CNN’s Chris Wallace in a June interview that he wanted to give fans, and the character, an ending that felt conclusive. “I wanted it to be character driven and I wanted it to confront the question of age straight on – not to hide my age, but to take advantage of it in the telling of the story,” Ford said, adding he felt “very strongly” that they achieved that goal.
