Part 2/9:
Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny managed to gross approximately $370 million globally. While that might seem substantial at a glance, when considering the hefty production costs, marketing expenses, and the studio's cut of box office revenues, the film's profitability was severely limited.
For a movie with an estimated budget of over $400 million, the studio’s share of box office receipts—roughly 55% domestically and 40% internationally—means that the revenue already falls short of recouping the initial investment. Specifically, the domestic box office brought in about $173 million, translating to roughly $95 million after studio cuts. International figures added around $78.8 million, bringing the total studio earnings to roughly $173.8 million.
