Fans Are Trying To Blame Something New ForIndiana JonesAnd TheDial of Destiny‘s Box Office Failure

A) Gen Z and Younger Millennials should be seeking out older movies, especially ones belonging to one of the great action adventure series of all time.B) Waiting for streaming is lazy and dumb. Why wait to watch something months later on a lower quality service?
A lot of kids still grew up on star wars and indiana jones
I’m not. There’s just no incentive for those generations to watch Indiana Jones because it hasn’t been popular in a long time.
I mean, let’s not act like everyone born after 1990 is incapable of watching movies from before they were born. New installments from older movies happen all the time, some even overshadow the originals.
Is it??? Why would Gen Z and younger Millennials care about Indiana Jones?And if some do, why would they care about him enough to see his movie in theaters when they could wait to stream it??
Fans may not get to see anotherIndiana Jonesanytime soon, if ever again and they are simply reluctant to accept the potential final film to be a disappointment. Regardless, we’ll have to see what’s next in store for Harrison Ford.
