EXCLUSIVE: Disney/Lucasfilm’s Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destinyis posting an estimated $6M-$7.5M Thursday night per sources, which is where previous older skewing action guy comps live.
We’re specifically referencing the Thursday night starts of No Time to Die which grossed $6.3M (started at 4PM) before its $55.2M opening weekend, and 2018’s Mission: Impossible – Fallout which made $6M before its $61.2M weekend start. Dial of Destiny, which started previews at 3PM tonight, is expected to gross between $60M-$65M at 4,500 theaters, making is the second highest stateside opening for the Steven Spielberg-George Lucas produced franchise after 2008’s Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull which posted a 5-day opening of $151.9M, 3-day of $100.1M. Crystal Skull didn’t have previews, but opened fully on the Thursday before Memorial Day weekend with $25M at 4,260 theaters.
Why aren’t weekend projections up to the same level as the previous chapter? It’s two-fold: part of that has to do with this Indy getting the worst reviews ever at 66% coming out of its Cannes world premiere, but also, its audience is graying and on par with 007 franchises. You can’t say that Mission: Impossible is getting older just yet as that movie is set to see a franchise best start with Dead Reckoning of $100M over 5 days starting July 12; that sequel expecting to nab a Top Gun: Maverick halo effect.

SATURDAY AM: Refresh for chart…and more analysis Disney/Lucasfilm’s Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny is still bound to open at the bottom of end of tracking’s projection of $60M as this morning.

That figure might be good for exhibition and popcorn sales over the five-day holiday weekend, but it stinks for a movie that has a reported cost of $250M to near $300M before P&A.

Indiana Jones And The Dial Of Destiny has arrived in cinemas – but should you remain seated for the credits?The latest offering marks the fifth and final instalment of the franchise, and sees acting legend Harrison Ford reprise his role as the daring adventurer.With the first part of the movie being set in 1944, Dial Of Destiny kicks off with the whip-cracking archaeologist looking to retrieve one half of the Antikythera – an ancient dial built by Archimedes – from a Nazi scientist (played by Mads Mikkelsen).The remainder of the film ventures forward to 1969, where Jones partners up with his goddaughter Helena (Phoebe Waller-Bridge) to locate and retrieve the other half, and potentially alter the course of history.The Dial Of Destiny has very much been pitched as Indy’s final adventure, but fans will still be curious to know if a post-credits scene teases future possibilities for the franchise.Unlike other Disney titles, this Indy offering doesn’t feature a post-credits or mid-credits scene. So once the film ends, you’re safe to leave.The lack of any teasers perhaps shouldn’t come as a surprise, given that Ford himself has made it clear on numerous occasions that this is his final outing as Indiana Jones.“This is it! I will not fall down for you again,” the actor joked at D23 last year.“I’ll miss the people who I’ve worked with on the film – everyone at Lucasfilm, at Disney, [director] Jim Mangold, and the actors.
