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.

    (Raiders of the Lost Ark had an extremely sus thing between a child and "Dr. Jones" that was even worse in an earlier draft that Spielburg and Lucas were giggling about)

    Going to save my sanity and not look this one up.

      Good idea. At least you know why its roots are deeply rotten and why it's hard for me to enjoy the slop now.

        probably not their intention considering you said they were giggling about it, but before i knew about all that i always took it as like a critique in a way of that character archetype if that makes sense

          The context specifically in the discussion of the child character's age was Lucas and Spielburg only having reservations because of what the suits around them would think. They spoke about the character in a way that sounded like they wanted to be in Indy's place, if only they could, with the only problem being externally perceived consequences. libertarian-alert
