I'd have to put the Angelina Jolie Tomb Raider movies in there somewhere.
I'll give my list after I see the movie in a few hours.

I saw it yesterday and Loved It! It was so much better than Crystal Skull and overall a great Indiana movie
will see what happens, but I am expecting Indy to have legs…I feel as if Indiana Jones plays to an older demo….I don’t expect opening weekend to tell us anything about any success or failure of the film…older people aren’t run out opening weekend….see Avatar and Maverick
i have not seen the latest Indy…but it is possible…I don’t think Temple Of Doom is great… so I could see it happening… if it is at least decent… for the record my favorite is The Last Crusade
My wife and I both just came out from seeing it and both thought it was a good movie - in that we both enjoyed it. Was definitely worth seeing in theater in my opinion, and I think it was a great way to send of Indiana Jones. I read some post that talk about negatives, and I think they live in a dream world to expect that. My wife only complaint was she felt it was a little long (where Guardians 3 didn't feel as long despite being the same length). I also felt like it was a kind of movie that you could rewatch like the original 3 IJ movies. I didn't feel that way about Crystal skull (but I didn't hate that movie as much as others did, just never watched it again which does say something I suppose).
Our theater was packed (12:20 pm showing), and my wife was surprised that as many kids were watching it as there were. It seemed to me the people watching it enjoyed it - I am sure there were people that didn't but the majority were into it.

Industry media now says Indy 5 made $7 Million on its opening Thursday leading into a holiday weekend (Independence Day).
Adjusted for inflation, in 2008 Indy Crystal Skull made $36 Million on its Thursday preview leading into a holiday weekend (Memorial Day).
I didn't even have to pull up Google, I could calculate on my masculine yet elegant fingers that Indy 5 just debuted on Thursday with only 20% of the box office that Indy 4 did on its opening Thursday.
And for those tracking things this weekend, here are the adjusted for inflation box office numbers of Indy 4's debut weekend in '08:
Thursday Previews = $36 Million
Friday = $44 Million
Saturday = $53 Million
Sunday = $48 Million

For a big tentpole movie like this I'd guess Disney was hoping for an opening weekend in the $180 to $200 million range. If it does $65 million I'd guess theaters are 1/3 full on average.
Demand for the movie is soft. If you want to see it tonight or tomorrow, there are tickets available.
However, it's not playing to empty or almost empty theaters as a rule. The weekend box office will tell the tale, not this pointlessness.
Locally there are few seats available for an early show tonight but I can certainly see a later show without issue.

Dial of Destiny reminded me a lot of the James Bond movie No Time to Die and Pixar's Lightyear in the sense that I thought it was a well-made movie that simultaneously missed the appeal of the original character by having a bleak, somber tone.
The movie left me thinking a lot about my own mortality and what friends and family I might still have in my life — if any — when I'm in my 80s. That's not at all what I should be thinking about when leaving a freakin Indiana Jones movie!
I'd give it a 7.5/10 as a movie, but it doesn't feel like an Indiana Jones movie. It's a much better film than Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, but KOTKS felt like it did a better job keeping the overall spirit of the original Indy trilogy.

In the end…the tracking will be right.
So it’s really just watching it unfold for all of us.
And the standard excuse meeting on Fridays at dwarf house in burbank…becoming a weekly tradition
Hope bobs yacht off New Zealand has a good wifi connection

Hard to sell this time.
They blamed an inexcusable 40% drop sequel on 5 guys hating on a bit character a few years ago and got away with it…
But gonna be tough to spin “hating on Harrison ford”

For those that have seen it…
Did the pairing feel similar to Harrison Ford and Sean Connery? Because they used that age and physical abilities difference brilliantly to add to the story.
That wasn’t the feeling I got from my friends review but I haven’t talked to him yet, just saw his post.

There are busy theaters and less busy ones. My nearest theater has a solid crowd for a Saturday 10:10 AM showing and only two tickets sold for the 10:00 PM showing.
I could show one but not the other to try and claim the movie is a huge hit or dead on arrival, but neither would be true. The total numbers are what matter.
The total expected for the weekend doesn't look good but a random screenshot of one empty theater doesn't reflect what the average attendance will look like. Is the point to claim that zero people are going? What's the point? We'll know shortly that isn't true.

Since we’re sharing anecdotal evidence, here’s the next 3 showings at the theater near me… Not sold out but far from empty too, pretty decent for a Friday afternoon into evening.

This is one you should watch in theaters in my opinion. I saw it in a ScreenX theater and it was a visual treat.I think I might…
So it’s just a matter of waiting till august 15th then
