That does not account for how much they spent on marketing. The film cost roughly £300 million to make and its reported Disney under report the production costs of their films. All in all I wasn't a fan of this, Ford was far too old for it and Fwb just doesn't suit that type of role. Disney are massively struggling and in my honest opinion are involving politics far too much in their films.
Film Indiana Jones 5

That's an inappropirate semi you've got there.
That’s probably how Sean Connery would have pronounced it. And he was in an Indiana Jones movie. It all makes sense!Imagine proudly typing M-she-U.
The movie didn't make money because it cost far too much, wasn't good enough in a very crowded cinema market (clearly the worst of the run of MI7, Oppenheimer and Barbie that came in a row), and was an action movie starring an octogenarian.
The fact that it starred a spunky woman (?) in a lead role, just like like, err, Raiders of the Lost Ark, is not the reason, and you're a moron who spends far too much time in ugly online circles if you think that.

I love Willie, sure she screamed a lot, but I liked the bimbo city girl being mixed up in an Indiana Jones film. Not every female in every film has to be a strong willed independent warrior. Bimbo city girls have feelings too!!
She was so annoying tbf. I think the actress said afterwards she hated her character too.
It's better than MI7 (that was so so bland, imo) but yeah it was bad timing for release. It was never gonna fare well against those 3. It's also a fine, charming film, but I can totally imagine a lot of moviegoes thinking that out of all the films to go to the cinema to see, in the middle of a cost of living crisis and inflation worldwide, this might be one that would be fine to watch at home either. Nothing like the hype of Barbie or Oppenheimer, and Cruise/MI have a solid fanbase to pack cinemas I would imagine.
But yeah sure it's because PWB was a strong, spunky female character and "politics".
PWB won't do anything better than Fleabag. That was one of the best shows I've ever seen.
Is this… satire?On track to be the biggest flop in Disney history, losing hundreds of millions of dollars. It was obviously going to flop because it wasn't made for entertainment, rather to spite fans, but I don't think anybody expected it to become Disney's biggest flop in history
Keep in mind that when adjusting for inflation, every other Indiana Jones movie made over a billion!
Disney: releases another film shitting on a male legacy character they bought in order to propel their identity politics.
Fans: nah, we're done with you inserting your politics into everything.
Redcafe:
It's not just Lucasfilm. Marvel is now the M-she-U and both are producing flop after flop because fans are waking up.
On recent releases, Disney have lost over $900 million, and Disney+ is losing hundreds of millions every quarter resulting in BILLIONS.
It's time for Redcafes favourite saying. Go woke, go broke. Disney have now listed a load of their ips/assets for sale in order to actually make some money.
The upcoming Marvels and Snow White movies that are filled with the usual identity politics are surely going to correct this course for them
We’ve come full circle jerk.
Sadly, no. He's just regurgitating the content of a specific YT channel from Texas (why am i not surprised?) which is basically alt-right rhetoric disguised as film/comics/games etc. reviews and news.
It’s funny how people with the worst opinions on here always drop the bomb in a thread and then feck off for weeks/months at a time.
Is that a certain pretend drunk channel by any chance?

I see a lot of right wing loons talk about people 'waking up'. Considering woke is the big bad you'd think they'd choose better wordage.
I show this scene to my class in week 1 of the course I teach on Middle East history.No, that one's Scottish and he's actually more moderate than most. Can't say the same about the company he keeps in his live streams. One of them, whose nickname starts with "nerd" is a proper bellend, though. He's the one you're looking for.
And that's ok - the bar was set very high, but that doesn't mean she won't (and hasn't) make other very good things throughout her career.
But I agree concerning Fleabag - the second season notably is absolute perfection.
Yes it was. Totally pointless.

Oh yea, my comment wasn't a slight on her at all. Just that she set the bar so impossibly high when she worked on Fleabag. A genuinely great show.
I'm a big fan of hers generally, but thought the Bond movie she worked on was a bit naff.
Waller Bridge is actually one of the best things in it. If anyone is pretending she’s bad they’d clearly decided that beforehand. You can not like the character, but she plays it well.
It’s the action that lets this down, as others have said.

Agreed. The train scene was decent though.
Mads was disappointing if anything. Not cos he ain’t good, but he’s thoroughly on autopilot here and doesn’t even get the kind of hammy scenery chewing of some of the original 3 villains. If you’re looking for things that ‘aren’t Indy enough’…. But you probably won’t hear much cry-whinging about it, because he doesn’t fit the profile of the type of stuff that annoys those types of people

We should try and figure out the reason why, but I imagine it'll be impossible to determine. I was trying to figure out why Kevin Feige isn't mentioned when people talk about Marvel getting worse, whilst Kathleen Kennedy has apparently ruined Star Wars, but I couldn't think of any reasons why.
A waste of talent, another actor who wants to make the transition to English-speaking cinema but fails because of Hollywood's obsession to fit actors into certain moulds. It's like that he did Casino Royal and Hannibal and then the higher-ups decided that he can do that creepy expression well, so people will identify easily with him as a villain. He's ridiculously good in the Danish productions he's been in, a true tour de force of emotions when he's handed a good script.
He’s great in Another Round, though there’s a bit of a disconnect with this pathetic sad sack put upon teacher who gets bullied by his wife, friends and school kids and… a guy who looks like Mads fecking Mikkelsen!
But yeah, casting him as a Nazi is all a bit meeeuuughh. Someone like Claes Bang has kinda avoided it so far because he broke through internationally in The Square rather than a Bond film.
He has a penis, how dare you.
Agree on his part - it was fine, cos Mads even on autopilot is fine, but it was basically what you imagine an AI generated part of "Mads as a Nazi" would be.
He does stand out a bit vs his 3 friends in that one
Oh and also... I don't think Claes Bang is that good an actor

I googled this man because I'd never heard of him. Then I was training some people on a Teams video call sharing my screen, went to copy and paste something and it must not have worked because 'Claes Bang' suddenly popped up in the field everyone was looking at
I guess seemed innocent enough but the word Bang could be interpreted many ways.Oh and also... I don't think Claes Bang is that good an actor
His voice didn’t work as Dracula at all.
Went to see Indy and saw a annoying woman with no rhyme or reason to her and an old man in the shits. Sorry but this was not good at all, it's just a poor movie and a bad use of an legacy title. It's too long, writing is bad and the characters are poorly developed. Harrison should have stayed home for this one, I feel bad for Indy this just wasn't it. CGI was poor, Mads was poorly used as a villain, could've been something as he is a fantastic actor. 2/10
Moderately funny story but I just spent an hour thinking I was watching this and turns out I was actually watching Temple of Doom.
I went through a range of emotions such as thinking they captured the old feeling well and the de-aging being fantastic, to thinking the opening sequence was dragging on a bit and the plot seems vaguely familiar and eventually to ‘oh wait. This is Temple of Doom’ when they get trapped in the room with the spikes.

I agree and I enjoyed the film for what it was. Much better than the Crystal Skull (low bar I know) and it wrapped the series up nicely. The time travel bit didn't work particularly well and the young sidekick was anonymous but still well worth watching. At least it wasn't more superhero bollocks (another low bar).
They should really have made 1 or 2 more films soon after #3 and wrapped it up there of course. However, it would have been criminal to finish with Crystal Skull.

Strongly disagree with this. It was a nice change from the usual racist take in previous films, the character actually had agency and the actor was pretty good and assured.
Agreed but also a bit boring and anonymous imo.
What an awful indiana jones movie. No wonder steven speilberg left the project. Dull and not very exciting. Dial of destiny mcguffins rubbish.
It should have been Indiana Jones and the fate of atlantis as per the superb videogame frm the early 1990s.
