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.
