Indiana Jones and The Dial of Destiny enjoyed a brief moment of triumph at the box office, but the tides quickly turned. The action-adventure, blockbuster series finale crafted by Disney, slipped from its throne to claim second place in its second weekend, raking in $26.5 million from 4,600 theaters across North America. However, it was overshadowed by the impressive performance of Insidious: The Red Door, which exceeded expectations with a debut of $32.6 million from 3,188 venues.
The last installment of the Indiana Jones saga, featuring the legendary adventurer portrayed by Harrison Ford, experienced a noticeable decline in ticket sales following its initial weekend. This ongoing struggle at the box office adds to the uphill battle faced by the movie, which carried a significant budget of nearly $300 million. On the international stage, Dial of Destiny managed to contribute $31.8 million to the box office, resulting in a total global ticket sales figure of $247.9 million.
In contrast, the earnings from lnsidious: The Red Door are soaring past the Indiana Jones film by a substantial margin. Despite being made with a modest budget of only $16 million, the fifth installment of Insidious is already reaping considerable rewards during its box office run. It made a resounding impact at the international box office, earning $31.4 million and claiming the title of the highest-grossing overseas opening for a horror film during the pandemic.
