Indiana Jones 5 is another Flop for Disney - Box Office Addict

[@trogdoar149]

This series might never get the views it deserves. But its important to break down the numbers, this is an important part of moviemaking. Don't stop the good work brother.

[@villesanti1]

It's amazing how Disney has allowed Kathleen Kennedy to continue to destroy Lucasfilm's IPs.

[@RigobertosTacoShop]

The issue isnt Indiana Jones. Its Lucasfilm, and Disney

[@ConciseCabbage]

Really excellent tangent (starting here at 20:37) about cell phones and culture. The more industries (movie or not) fought against the changing technology rather than adapting to it, the more they lose

[@ziggy8253]

In a world where smartphones is king, movie theaters can’t afford to be snobbish.

Phoebe Ridge Wallet walks into a bar. The bartender says “Hey, why the long face?” 😂

[@TheNameisPlissken1981]

I knew we were in trouble ever since they announced the title of this uninspired train wreck!

[@icthulu]

The kind of sentiment that existed in the 80's driving the creation of Indy and other great movies from those times are not in a single Hollywood studio. You can never get that tone of entertainment back and I wish people would stop trying.

[@backto-il9ne]

The market is too damn saturated and these studios are spending way too much on these CGI-ed movies.

[@jesperburns]

Some KZbinrs in their basement do better de-aging than most Hollywood movies, hire them, pay them a million.

[@madcapmakov2]

The Cannes preview screenings was a major backfire to perpetuate hype for Elemental and Indiana Jones 5.

[@MiniatureMasterClass]

Both the Flash and Dial of Destiny are movies no one asked for.

[@Jared_Wignall]

No surprise it’s doing poorly. The trailers didn’t look good and I don’t know who was really looking forward for a fifth installment after all these years later. Hope you’re doing well Pat!

[@AncestorEmpire1]

The failure starts with Bob Iger.

[@Horrormaster13]

The Flash: “I’m gonna be the biggest flop of the summer.” Indiana Jones 5: “Hold my idol, kid.”

[@wildeirishpoet]

Listened to this again this morning. Perhaps the best box office addict episode to date.

[@messii648]

Movies these days 🥴< 80s 90s early 2000s awesome period of movies it’s the peak!

[@alexandru5369]

Great point about Indy not being a massive cultural franchise. It isn't it was hugely successful but, definitely a product of the time

[@WilberforceWooster]

The only ticket sales I have seen of late is reports that Spiderverse movie had about 9 million tickets sold for the first weekend. Those numbers have to be out there, but no one wants to collect them.

[@wisecontragio172]

damn, i hate that rise of the beasts could overtake bumblebee when it s a lot worse of a movie XDDD

[@wildeirishpoet]

You are right, Indiana Jones is NOT as big as they think it is. I was born in 84. Raiders of the Lost Arc was great. Honestly, as a kid, I never cared for the last crusade. The temple of doom was cool, but a bit over the top silly. I never owned Indiana Jones merch. And I never owned the movies on tape. I liked Indiana Jones, but I didn't love it. The movies were cool and fun. Maybe some Gen xers liked it more?

[@alexandru5369]

I refuse too acknowledge this nonsense exists.

[@MisterMelange]

Well last week I speculated it would do more than $60 million. Egg on my face.

[@jahimjauh-hey5653]

Part of me is sad because Id love to see more Indiana Jones media beyond movies and now im not sure if we will be getting anything Indy related anytime soon. Indiana would be a great character for an Uncharted quality video game but I wouldnt be surprised if the upcoming Bethesda game gets canceled.

[@dreamcast8430]

I saw Indy 5, and thought it was solid. Word of mouth hasn't spread yet

[@HC-cb4yp]

WHY did Disney think the public wanted to see Indy humiliated repeatedly by a character/actress they've never seen; watch him be unable to go on the adventures he used to go on; Learn that his son was killed in Viet Nam (a little left wing, anti-American triumphalism there?)... I mean... did they come up with this needlessly depressing storyline and say to themselves: "THIS! THIS is EXACTLY what the public wants to see from Indiana Jones!" I guess they just wanted to destroy another white, male hero and show how much better yet another PERFECT British woman will be in the role. Good luck with that...

[@YellowJello57]

The real question should be with Disney knowing huge swathes of the public would h@te this movie for the reasons you stated above, why did they go ahead and make it anyways? Is w0k3 ideology more important than profit? How did we get here? Does the left or the right run the entertainment industry? Are things like movies used to build consensus and control society?

[@HC-cb4yp]

@@YellowJello57 Valid questions. After cable freed Hollywood up from having to produce POPULAR entertainment, the concept filtered down to movies that DO need to attract an audience... I think Hollywood is going to shrink to about the size of, say, pro hockey's popularity. There but small. I've moved on, entertainment-wise.

[@aishaalamoudi599]

scales buddy, scales. Disney is a behemoth.

[@minhja4924]

❤❤❤Initially, I am really against people to be on fone etc etc. that was years ago. I don’t really care nowadays. It if the norm . Can’t see how it can distract me from movie watching experiences . Time has changed. It’s like the mentality of being absolute silent in libraries . So outdated. Lol

[@Han-rw9ev]

It's not like we didn't know this was going to happen. When the individual in charge of Lucasfilm gets a well deserved reputation for having an extremely Anti-George Lucas mentality, the fans aren't going to want anything to do with her. Especially after she and her activist buddies wrecked every Lucasfilm franchise they touched.

[@daniellappen4845]

Mutt is not going to carry an action franchise. Get real

[@pleaserewind295]

Neither is Fleabag.

[@jimmyb79]

For the algorithm 👍

[@backto-il9ne]

Wait! So you are saying if we let people make noise and speak on their phones in the move theaters then more people will go to the movies??? LOL What kind of logic like that ??? A huge percentage of movie goers love to watch their movies uninterrupted so alienating that audience in favor of a younger tik tok crowd will not solve the problem. And most adults use their phones during movies without any issue. No one kicks them out for using their phones because they do it discreetly and respectfully. Their volume is off and they usually shield the phone not to draw attention. This idea that if you pull out a phone the whole theater draws out a pitchfork is hilarious haha

[@pleaserewind295]

I disagree. Embracing the tiktok generation is more important than holding onto the older generations that will be dying off. And yes, the drafthouse would legit kick you out for having a cell phone.

[@captainllyon1378]

First 👋 pat

[@EpicJoshua314]

Stop with the trolling, I saw it last night and it’s a great movie.

[@pleaserewind295]

I'm not trolling, the box office numbers are bad. .

[@EpicJoshua314]

@@pleaserewind295 Yeah, because you and many people are trolling, spreading all this nonsense and killing a movie long before it’s release without giving it even one single chance.

[@pleaserewind295]

​@@EpicJoshua314I don't get to decide if people go see a movie. Lol

[@EpicJoshua314]

@@pleaserewind295 But you’re saying that the movie is a flop which normally means that it isn’t very good and people who are very cynical will probably not want to watch the movie as a result. The movie isn’t bad, it’s a great and epic adventure.

[@pleaserewind295]

A movie being a flop doesn't mean its good or bad, but that it lost money.
