Not much better than opening weekend of The Flash. Indiana Jones' budget is also $295 million compared to The Flash's $210 million.

For comparison, The Flash (2023);

It went on to have a $55.1 million domestic opening, with an additional $75 million from international markets, for a worldwide debut of $130.1 million.

Another major box office disaster for the Summer of 2023. These budgets are out of control.

People just don't like watching movies these days, I think the markets in a bit of a slump.

People just don't like watching *shitty movies these days.

Quality, non-politically-injected films like Top Gun: Maverick however are doing just fine.

I think Top Gun: Maverick is proof that if you make a great, critically-acclaimed crowd-pleasing blockbuster that respects its iconic lead character from an 80s movie, audiences will come out in droves for the movie.

Just a little over a year ago, I never would have guessed that a Top Gun sequel would outgross the latest Indiana Jones movie, but yet it's looking like that will be the case. I'm not even sure Dial of Destiny will gross half of Maverick.
