‘Indiana Jones And The Dial Of Destiny’ has landed with a whimper and not a bang. Despite the excitement, Harrison Ford’s swan song as Indiana Jones nostalgia trip hasn’t attracted an intimate audience. The film debuted with a paltry box-office collection of $60 million, a bad omen for any film worth the reputation of ‘Indiana Jones’ franchise.
With the upcoming theatrical releases of ‘Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One,’’ Barbie,’ and ‘Oppenheimer,’ the chances of ‘Indiana Jones’ picking up an audience are less than likely. In fact, the film could possibly take over ‘The Flash’ as the most expensive flop this summer.
