Disney Lost A Shocking Amount Of Money On Latest 'Indiana Jones' Movie

Disney bled money on "Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny."

The fifth "Indiana Jones" film hit theaters at the end of June 2023, and it was the last time fans will ever see Harrison Ford crack a whip as he hunts down artifacts.

I was very nervous about what the film would be like prior to its release, and ultimately, it wasn't terrible. It was just also completely unnecessary.

It earned a 6/10 in my review. Turns out, my review was the least of the studio's problems because the movie apparently lost major money for Disney.

"Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny" was a financial failure for Disney.

Financial documents released late last week show "Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny" lost a staggering $134.2 million for Disney after grossing around $384 million at the box office, according to Forbes.

Could that money eventually be made up in digital rentals and sales? It's possible, but it's also incredibly unlikely.

It might be a tough pill to swallow, but there's no way to sum up this situation other than to call it a complete and total failure for Disney when it comes to the financial books.

Losing $134.2 million on a single film is unbelievable. As I said after seeing it, the movie felt completely unnecessary. Why was it made? What was the point?

Well, turns out it didn't need to be made because there clearly wasn't enough interest to justify it. Now, Disney has to eat a loss of $134.2 million.

Disney continues to get hit with disappointing news after disappointing news, and now, it's been revealed it burned piles of cash making a fifth Indy movie nobody really wanted.

My guess is the public has seen the last of the Indiana Jones saga on-screen for a very long time. Think they'll make another? Let me know at David.Hookstead@outkick.com.
