Harrison Ford's last time donning the iconic hat and whip, the film heavily underperformed when taking its brand into consideration, which has historically earned Disney significant profits. The film dug up $70 million (about Rs. 573 crore) from regions outside the US and Canada, which was to be expected given how poorly it fared critically at the Cannes Film Festival this year. Even headlines musing about Ford's five-minute standing ovation didn't come off as a strong draw for audiences. Indiana Jones 5 earned the remaining $60 million (about Rs. 491 crore) in the US and Canada, and is tracking to build on its box office performance during the July 4 holiday in the US.

The figures look pretty bad once you take the budget into as well, which is reported to be close to $300 million (about Rs. 2,456 crore), excluding the marketing campaign that secured a film Disney+.

In comparison, both Mission: Impossible is set at $290 million (about Rs. 2,374 crore). Indiana Jones 5's failure to dominate comes as a bit of a shock, given the veteran 80-year-old Ford's star power was a driving force for its marketing. As per Variety, the UK was the biggest market for the film, earning $8.9 million (about Rs. 73 crore) in ticket sales. Coming in second is with $5.9 million (about Rs. 48 crore), followed by Japan adding $4.7 million (about Rs. 38 crore) to the pot. Korea and rounded out the top five list by adding $4.1 million (about Rs. 34 crore) apiece.

Meanwhile, Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse is planned for release on March 29, 2024.

Both Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny and Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse are currently playing in theatres worldwide.
