Looking Back At Indiana Jones 5's Theatrical Performance
Disney has announced that Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny will be available on 4K UHD, Blu-ray, and DVD starting from December 5, 2023. This physical release will contain a range of exciting bonus features, such as featurettes that dissect the key moments in the prologue, New York City, Morocco, Sicily, and the thrilling climax of Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny. Furthermore, the physical media versions will offer a special edition of the film featuring only John Williams' renowned score. Regrettably, no specific date has been revealed for the Disney Plus release of Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny.
Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny received a mixed response after its premiere at Cannes. Critics were divided on Ford's final portrayal of the beloved hero. Although the film garnered more positive reviews upon its wide release, it failed to meet the high expectations set by some. Despite the significantly more positive reception from audiences (as indicated by the film's 88% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes at the time of writing), it was unable to achieve success at the box office.
The box office results for Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny are disappointing, with only $383.8 million earned compared to its $300 million budget. This makes it a significant loss for Disney, and it is unlikely to break even. While the film's quality may have contributed to its failure, even a well-received Indiana Jones movie would have had a hard time succeeding at such a high price point.
One major issue is that younger audiences do not have much attachment to the Indiana Jones character. Although Harrison Ford is a beloved movie star, he is now in his 80s, making it difficult to engage younger demographics in a movie centered around a character their grandparents' age. Additionally, there was a long gap between the previous film's release in 2008 and this installment, which likely affected its performance in theaters. However, the film's strong performance in video-on-demand suggests that it may find popularity through physical media release.
