So lets say it ends up at $450 million all in (making and advertising) at the low end of the 2.5x this movie will have to make $1.125 billion before it starts making a profit. And again from what I am reading of how this film is going to end, it may do well opening weekend, but once word of mouth gets out it is going to fall off quick. I may be wrong, the rumors I've read may be wrong (I hope they are), but this just seems crazy to me. bentbryan, october and Larryw7 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There have been more rumors that the film has undergone a significant amount of reshoots, and is being heavily edited. If you want to believe these things, the reason Phebe Waller-Bridge is basically only in one scene of the final trailer, and is shown in peril is because her character's role in the film has been reduced and reworked. I do not think the end of the movie will end up looking anything like the rumors, and Disney will deny and destroy and evidence that those ending ever existed.

Shame they didn’t do that with the end of Rise of Skywalker. Or all of Rise of Skywalker for that matter.

However I still will not be seeing it opening weekend, for sure going to wait for reviews and chatter before I plunk down money and get fooled, this is Disney we are talking about after all.

drotto Posted March 24, 2023 Share Posted March 24, 2023 Thought that was fairly obvious when PWB left Lucasfilm to take over at Tomb Raider. They rumor way back was she was going to head up the D+ Indiana Johns series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because it is set in the 1968-1969 when the song came out. The trailer takes a few steps to reinforce the idea that this takes place decades after Raiders from the music cues to the space helmets on the subway.

"Paramount retains rights to the first four films and “will receive a financial participation on any future films that are produced and released,” says the statement from the studios." https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/general-news/disney-takes-control-indiana-jones-663704/ Edited April 8, 2023 by Buzzetta Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
