Better question is if the movie is truly this much of a mixed bag, why debut it at Cannes and let the reviews sit there for a month? Terrible marketing decision. Are the people in charge this bad at assessing what they have in the final cut?
Because Iger missed the pageantry of this sort of thing
Young Indy is 22 episodes. Each one is an hour and half "movie". The first six have Indy has 9 year old traveling the world while the remainder have him as a twenty something in World War I. Each episode has Indy meeting some famous person of the time. He seems to rarely look for lost artifacts. It felt like Lucasfilm's attempt at Edutainment.
Everyone will forget about Cannes, and the movie is bound to rake in the dough.
I'm not sure anyone cares in the first place. The movie will have a strong opening, most likely just because it's Indiana Jones. After that it's going to live or die based on the quality and entertainment factor of the film. Will it rake in the dough? I hope it does, I'm a big Indy fan. I can't say I am very confident as we are talking about Kennedy and Lucasfilm.
i believe this is his last one too. hope he gives us a memorable one.
Yes, even if only for the scene where

If that bears out it’s a catastrophic opening number."Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny hopes to set off early Fourth of July fireworks at the domestic box office.
Disney and 20th Century’s the long-awaited next installment in the action-adventure franchise is pacing to open to $60 million to $70 million over the June 30-June 2 weekend, according to early tracking. That’s on par with Mission: Impossible — Fallout and No Time to Die, and those films didn’t face such a crowded marketplace."
Box Office: ‘Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny’ Tracking for $60M-$70M Debut
Harrison Ford returns in his final portrayal as the adventurous archeologist first made famous in Steven Spielberg's 'Raiders of the Lost Ark.'
I was thinking the same thing. 60mil? That seems really low for a summer tentpole as high profile as Indiana Jones.
Well they are going back in time. June 30th to June 2nd. That would reduce their take right?
