Part 4/8:
The film's production costs are estimated to be close to $300 million, with marketing and promotional expenses pushing the total investment to approximately $450 million. To break even, Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny would need to gross around $900 million globally—a bar it’s unlikely to reach. Current estimates project a total worldwide gross between $300 million and $350 million, with some pessimistic predictions as low as $300 million. Even at the higher end, Disney could face a loss of up to $250 million.
Moreover, international markets—such as China—have been no exception to the film’s underperformance, with only about $2.3 million collected in China during its opening. This further underscores the film's failure to resonate with global audiences.
