Possible, but its budget is just as high if not higher than Indy 5. So even it is going to have make over $800M to break even.

It may, but RT is still fraught with garbage review data, regardless of the studio. And woah, 2 hours and 43 minutes? My bladder is getting tired of these uber long films.

Sounds like you work for Disney…. Zero clue about what sells a film. Zero clue about target market.
look at mission impossible…. Getting crazy reviews. Tracking for a huge opening.
Disney looks at Indy franchise and says, “let’s get phoebe waller-bridge to bring in the girls and young adults and then give her the franchise”. What??? Why?
she was solid but she doesn’t sell tickets.
Chris Pratt gets butts in the seats.

Mission impossible will make over 1 billion. Getting crazy reviews and everyone loved Tom Cruise‘s last film Maverick.

That’s why I think Pratt would be great as Indy.
First three Indy films are action/comedy. The humor/whimsical feel is outstanding. Right in Pratt‘s wheelhouse.
Last Indy film laces the charm, humor, whimsical feel of first three and that hurts the film. It’s an enjoyable but forgettable movie.
I don’t think there was one laugh out loud moment in the film.

Maybe it will, Maybe it won't, this isn't Top Gun people aren't as nostalgic for the MI franchise. None of the others in the franchise hit $1B. MI:6 for example only got to $688M last time around.
But judging by current tracking its only going to make max $301M domestic. So unless overseas is going to be over $700M alone, domestic is going to have to come up a whole lot more to hit that $1B mark.

Can someone explain this to me? Where did this Sound of Freedom movie come from? I had never heard of it until I went to look at the box office numbers for July 4th, but it debuted yesterday (very odd timing) and beat Indy by $3 Million.
I haven't seen advertising for Sound of Freedom, or if I did I tuned it out because it seems a rather serious and dark toned movie, which I rarely like. (I'm more of a Barbie person, especially in summer). And I've never heard of Angel Studios. And in only 2,600 theaters?

I like that idea. Chris Pratt would have made a great Indy.
I have no idea why they keep trying to force young women into these established roles that have always been masculine men (Indy, Luke, James Bond, etc.) It just reads as so forced and eye-rollingly pandering to most people.
And the box office results keep proving it over and over again. And yet, Disney persists as if just one time they'll get a modest hit. Still waiting...

My take is Tom cruise is known to deliver the goods and his last film Maverick was great theater experience. He is one of the last true movie stars. Movie has been tracking great for three weeks and the reviews have been outstanding.
It’s lining up to be the must see tent pole of the summer.
We will find out. If it doesn’t, then people have quit going to the movies. Way too much positive momentum for it to tank like Indy,Mermaid,Elemental did.
Mermaid stills needs to make 125 million to break even with Disney making 55% stateside ticket sales and 45% overseas.

Indy 5 opened in all overseas markets last Thursday/Friday. And its overseas take is less than its domestic take, as foreigners care even less about Indy than Americans do now. This won't end well after Disney spent $450 Million to produce and market this film globally.

As I said, maybe it will and maybe it won't. This one is hard to judge overall, as again tracking isn't looking like a $1B movie a week from release. Maverick had a higher tracking at almost $400M, MI:7 is tracking almost $100M less.My take is Tom cruise is known to deliver the goods and his last film Maverick was great theater experience. He is one of the last true movie stars Movie has been tracking great for three weeks and the reviews have been outstanding.

will the younger crowd show up? That’s the big question.

The new Mission Impossible should be very telling, if it stumbles also it’ll reinforce the idea that it’s an industry wide problem, if it succeeds it’s going to diminish that argument and place the attention back on Disney.
It‘s forecast for $300+ million domestic, let’s see if it gets there.

Crowdfunded, and as it's described as a "faith based production" you know it's going to upset many that it even exists. I'd love to see it, as it's based on a non fiction story of a guy taking down those who traffic in young children if you can read between the lines, but it's also probably going to get me ticked off just watching it, even if the dirtbags get what they deserve.

The ironic thing is it was an already finished Fox movie when Disney bought them and they chose not to release it, it took the producers five years to wrangle the rights back from Disney so it could finally see the light of day.
I don’t think it’ll have any legs but it’s funny a movie Disney chose not to release outperformed Indy, one of their biggest releases of the year, even if only for a week.

Not just younger, but all audiences, its going to need a broad range of ages and demographics to reach $1B.

Agree, mission impossible has everything going for it.
1. Amazing reviews
2. Movie had a true star that gets butts in the seats.
3. Last Cruise movie(Maverick)crushed it at the box office.
4. Mission impossible series hasn’t had a bad film and the last film in 2018 wasn’t that long ago so
Should have great momentum going in.
5. Cruise knows his audience and caters to that.
If this movie doesn’t work… Hollywood is in trouble.

Saw it this weekend. It is an extremely enjoyable film. It’s an Indiana Jones movie and contains everything that it needs to contain to be an Indiana Jones movie. Action. Adventure. Great chase sequences. Suspense. An amazing John Williams score. Etc. etc. The previous one was horrendous but this one redeems the franchise. I don’t understand the hatred or the gloating from all the usual suspects but then again, I don’t understand the hatred and the gloating from all the usual suspects on any number of threads here.
