Refresh for chart…On the bright side for Independence Day bomb Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny, its first five days at the box office of $82M aren’t as bad as Paramount/Skydance’s Terminator Genisys.

Indiana Jones And The Dial Of Destiny has been described as “horrifying” by fans online.The IJ Adventure Outpost account on Twitter, which is an unofficial blog on the latest news about the action-adventure movie franchise, shared photos purporting to show the mask worn by stunt performers while filming the latest instalment.While many agreed that the mask is realistic, others pointed out how “creepy” it is – some even likening it to “the new Michael Myers” due to its skin folds.“That’s horrifying,” wrote one Twitter user beneath IJ Adventure Outpost’s photos. “Definitely looks like something from Dawn of the Dead…,” said another.This is my sleep paralysis demon— Mr.
