Harrison Ford isn’t throwing in the towel.
Even though “Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny” fell 58% this weekend, to second place, the star who’s played him for 40 years issued a warm message to fans on social media this weekend. You can see it below.
“DoD” isn’t a bomb but it’s not what was hoped for. It has around $250 million in worldwide sales so far, but it’s struggling to stay afloat. In years to come it may pay off on streaming and DVD, TV sales, too as it joins the four other films. One day someone will be watching it and say, “Hey, that was great.” But for now, it’s a wash.
“DoD” lost its top spot to “Insidious: The Red Door,” which made $32 million If you like horror films, especially from Blumhouse, that’s a great success. Of the films, “DoD” will probably last longer. But right now, that doesn’t matter.
Elsewhere, more free tickets– thousands – pushed “Sound of Freedom” to nearly $40 million total. This is absurd, of course. Religious organizations are paying for their followers to see the movie, so they’re getting in free. I signed u for a free ticket to see how this works. It took a few days to get a response, but if I want to cash it in, I can. (I won’t.) The whole enterprise has cult like markings and its box office report should reflect that.
