Indy 5 lost $130 Million

The fifth Indiana Jones movie was supposed to send the franchise out on a high note, but it proved to be a sad anti-climax to an amazing franchise. Indeed, yesterday, Disney boss Bob Iger won a brutal proxy battle against a group led by Nelson Pelts over control of the Disney board. One of the issues was how the company had a pretty dire 100th anniversary, with them posting a shocking number of flops, which included The Marvels, Haunted Mansion, and more. Yet, of all the films, none was a more bitter loss to the company than Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny. It’s now being estimated that the fifth Indiana Jones film lost upwards of $130 million.

While the movie grossed $174 million domestically for a $383 million worldwide total, the film cost a staggering $387 million.
