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.

    It was either about The Thing with Carpenter or The Fly with Cronenburg. I'd say The Fly is a stronger example because it had the worse original, I think Carpenter did enjoy the original The Thing From Another World but I feel thats more a case of a sticking closer to the original novella as well as just a quantitative update on how alien one could make an alien in the 80s vs the 50s.
