The film only opened with $130 million worldwide, which is less than the $139 million that the box office bomb The Flash managed to earn. Furthermore, the Indiana Jones sequel is said to have cost more than $300 million to make with marketing costs, while The Flash was estimated at $250 million. Either way, both films appear to be box office bombs, with the fifth Indiana Jones film making even less at the box office so far.
What did they expect? The whole premise falls apart now that he's older than the artifacts
"Indy, are these objects worth anything?"
"Worth anything? They are priceless artifacts nearly as old as me."
Indiana Jones and the Rascal Scooter of Evil (2028)
honestly, they could do something cool with the concept of an old Indiana Jones that shouldn't be out looking for artifacts anymore but obviously they wouldn't do that bc that wouldn't lend itself to another sequel that sucks.
No industry for old protagonists
All they have to do is pick a Young Indy book and just do that. THey have a whole entire series right fucking there
well this one is about an ancient greek artifact so thankfully they managed to find another artifact that is older than Harrison Ford
