Harrison Ford’s fans rejoiced at the release of the actor’s recent installment,Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destinyon June 29, 2025. Although the movie earned $24M on Friday, following the expectation of a $60M weekend debut, it isn’t deemed enough based on its $295M budget. Thus, it appears that even fans can’t save the movie from being a failure, as producers witness a languishing box office competition.
Although Harrison Ford’s movie appears to be gaining a critical resurgence, it is too early to decide if the fifth film in the iconic franchise can actually defy box office expectations. Poised to deliver a modest opening with $60M, the worrying projections and box office domination of other movies suggest a struggle forIndiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny.

Indiana Jones and the Dial of DestinyBox Office Collection
Released on 30th June 2023, Harrison Ford’s fifth film in the iconic adventure franchise,Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destinydelivers a critical resurgence at the box office. Although it’s been just a couple of days and is thus too early to tell, it appears the movie is struggling amid competitors at the Box Office.
Poised to make a modest opening weekend with $60M, the movie grossed $24M simply on the first day, after release. Thus, great things are expected fromHarrison Ford‘s fifth installment after being made on an astronomical $295M budget. Being one of the most expensive movies of all time,Dial of Destinyis thus expected to surpass the bona fide box office hit,Kingdom of the Crystal Skull.
Currently aiming for an $85M haul across the five-day extended weekend, Harrison Ford’sIndiana Jones and the Dial of Destinywas awarded a middling B+ CinemaScore. Despite earning a “fresh” 68% score on Rotten Tomatoes, the movie appears to be struggling with its modest opening collection of $60M, especially after DC’sThe Flashearned $55M on its debut weekend.

Harrison Ford’s Movie Couldn’t Make It To The Top Five
Considering the fact that it’s been just a few days since the release ofIndiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny,it is hard to make any assumptions. However, witnessing the box office competition where Harrison Ford’s movie appears nowhere on the top five list, it feels the fifth installment might suffer a disastrous fate.
Making a comeback after its disastrous opening weekend, even Pixar’sElementalgot back in a tight race, earning the second spot. Pushing the domestic haul,Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verseappears to be residing on the first spot. With constant changes in box office projections, whileElementalis struggling to maintain its second spot and is often getting pushed to the third, the animated Spiderman movie is maintaining its tight grip on the top of the list.
Further claiming the third and at times fourth spot, there is Sony’s raunchy R-rated comedy,No Hard Feelings.Opening with a strong $15M collection, Jennifer Lawrence’s comedy film swiftly made it to the top five spots on the box office list. There is also Paramount’sTransformers: Rise of the Beasts, sitting right behindNo Hard Feelings,despite running with an underwhelming $131M domestic total.
Lastly,No Hard FeelingsandTransformers: Rise of the Beastswere both outperformed by newcomerRuby Gillman, Teenage Kraken,as the DreamWorks film grossed $2.3M on opening day.
