In the Newton thread it was pretty definitively proven that the video in question absolutely was lying for clicks. Your attempt to nitpick the debunking got corrected by a number of posters who know how businesses work and then you never came back to the thread.

I’ll make a number of statements to clarify my position:

1) Dial of Destiny will underperform
2) Several Disney films have underperformed in the last year or so
3) This is not unique to Disney - every studio has seen significant portions of their slate underperform
4) This is due to a complex web of factors that have created an unstable box office environment that has not found a new normal
5) What that new normal looks like is not clear
6) The box office has been particularly harsh on original animation
7) Disney is navigating the unstable environment as well as, if not better then, the other major studios
8) Hollywood numbers are intentionally vague and the box office/ budget equation is a children’s toy, so anyone making definitive declarations, particularly of massive losses, should be viewed with a particularly critical lens
9) The studios are set up in a way that it is VERY rare that they actually lose money on a film, though it is slightly less rare in the current unstable environment
10) Disneys difficulties are being taken out of context and exaggerated for political reasons
11) This is largely being done by a lucrative, loud network of culture war TV channels, YouTubers, political commentators, and politicians who profit from rage at a common target
12) the posters incessantly rooting for Disney to fail so their political tribalism can be validated are immensely tiring
What and impressive wall of gibberish you have just created.

I really really wanted to like it.
But the fact that towards the end of the movie I thought that I was hallucinating says a lot.
…sadly…”disbelief” is a familiar feeling in a theater with an LFL movie on the screen…I can think of at least 3.5 times for me

And I’m not talking about Tucker or Howard the duck

Why are you so focused on the $$$?

How did it make you feel?

USA Today ranks Dialtone of Disney as the third best of the five Indy movies.


Having just watched it, I would question the sanity of the reviewer. I'd place it above Crystal Skull but that's all. Personally, I found it disappointing and a sad unfulfilling farewell to the Indiana Jones character. I'd say stick a fork in it, the franchise is done.

TFA made over $2bn 8 years ago.

Indy will be lucky to make a 1/4 of that not adjusting for inflation.

I was ranking it in terms of preference of movies. no money talk here.

Indy 5 will probably make less money than it cost to get Harrison back in Force Awakens :p
