Hey everybody, how you all feel like Indy 5 is going to perform this weekend? Anybody goes some last minute predictions?

Personally feel like this movie is gonna tank. Apparently the budget for Dial of Destiny over $300m and the last one was so bad. Is anybody asking for more Indiana Jones? I would be surprised if this broke 250 world wide box office.

I think a lot of what has to do with how movies either boom or bust is mostly up to the budget. Indy 5 is budgeted at 300m. That is just an insanely high price for ANY movie, let alone one that isn't 100% guaranteed to be a hit. If they were able to spend a reasonable amount on the film (100m?) and not blow out the budget, it would probably make some profit. Its like these studios think if they just spend more they will for sure make it back, regardless of quality.
