We’re deep into 2024 territory as of the time of writing, but our good friends and Deadline have decided to go back to last year and reveal the biggest box office bombs of 2023. It was a short trip down memory lane, but it was done properly because all the numbers were finally in, and there was enough time to objectively interpret the facts and numbers before us. This is why we decided to report on this list.
The list contains five titles and we are going to reveal them to you, as well as all the relevant numbers. Long story short, out of the five titles on this list, four belong to Disney/MCU and one to Warner, so it seems that Disney is undoubtedly the biggest loser of 2023, especially since some of the titles in question are major ones. Now, let us start!

Uncle Tony went to America to seek his fortune and succeeded beyond his wildest dreams. “He was like this big CEO, the president of Coca-Cola America,” recalls Jez Butterworth of his relation, who even acquired an American accent as he made his way from Rochdale to master of the universe.
When Uncle Tony returned to visit the little house in St Albans that Butterworth grew up in, it was as if someone unspeakably glamorous had materialised in the living room. “He was magical,” says the playwright. “There was a glow to all things American in the late 70s for English people, certainly for my family.” But this return was also painful to little Jez...

In the wake of his Oscar win for Oppenheimer, Cillian Murphy has added another role to his increasingly busy slate – the period drama Blood Runs Coal.
With the odd exception, Oscar-winning actors don’t tend to be short of work in the wake of winning the coveted gong, and the same seems true for Cillian Murphy. In fairness, the actor’s schedule was already pretty busy, but he’s added another project to his slate that will see him produce and star in another take on a non-fiction story.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, Murphy has signed up to star in Blood Runs Coal, an adaptation of the book of the same name. Universal is backing the project, which has been penned by Jez Butterworth and John-Henry Butterworth who previously co-wrote Edge Of Tomorrow together. No director has been named yet.

Fresh off his Oscar win for Oppenheimer, Deadline reports that Cillian Murphy has set up one of his next projects, a feature adaptation of Blood Runs Coal: The Yablonski Murders and the Battle for the United Mine Workers of America by Mark A. Bradley.
Blood Runs Coal takes place in the late 1960s and will feature Cillian Murphy playing Chip Yablonski, a labor attorney who fights to get justice for his father, Jock Yablonski. The elder Yablonski was a second-generation coal miner and activist who fought for better working conditions and health benefits for his fellow miners. However, he butted heads with union president Tony Boyle, and when Yablonski decided to run against him, Boyle used embezzled union funds to order the murder of his opponent. Yablonski was killed, along with his wife and daughter, with Chip Yablonski barely escaping the same fate as he had left the house the day prior.

Award-winning dramatist Jez Butterworth has revealed that his new play is part-inspired by his encounters with disgraced mogul Harvey Weinstein.
The British playwright, who previously penned The Ferryman and Jerusalem as well as Sky Atlantic drama Britannia, told the BBC’s Front Row radio show that his experience with Weinstein – when the pair worked together on the 2001 Birthday Girl starring Nicole Kidman – has stayed with him and influenced his writing on The Hills of California.
Butterworth said: “My very early experiences in the film business were with Miramax, specifically Harvey Weinstein. It became very clear, very quickly that that was the rules of the game. I was meeting actresses in California who wanted to do my film but would not talk to me because they’d had encounters with him.”

Then, in the same year we heard that Mel Gibson, one half of the series’ leading duo was set to take over the directorial reins.

Doug Liman's epic sci-fi adventure "Edge of Tomorrow" (aka "Live Die Repeat") remains one of the great underappreciated event films of the last decade. Featuring solid performances from Tom Cruise and Emily Blunt and a sharp script from Christopher McQuarrie, Jez Butterworth, and John-Henry Butterworth, the 2014 spectacle is a compelling and even enthralling piece of entertainment.
The story, based on the novel "All You Need is Kill" by Hiroshi Sakurazaka, follows public affairs officer Major William Cage (Cruise), who inexplicably gets caught up in a war between humanity and an invading alien force. After dying on the battlefield, Cage wakes up the day before and quickly realizes he is somehow reliving the same day over and over again, resetting each time he gets killed. He then teams up with Sergeant Rita Vrataski (Blunt) to figure out the cause of his condition and the best way to utilize it against the aliens.

Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny took some risks with the iconic character at least in terms of how they presented him on-camera, digitally de-aging him through the use of artificial intelligence. And while the filmmakers took the story back to the 1940s and the bulk of the movie takes place in the late 1960s, one place they weren’t going to go was to the future – that is, the last days of Indiana Jones, refusing to kill off the character in what is Harrison Ford’s last outing as the bullwhip-snapping adventurer.
As Harrison Ford put it in a new video excerpt (made available via ComingSoon), “I never saw a version that had him die or stay in the past…I can imagine them…” And now we’re all wondering just how Ford pictures the death of Indiana Jones…

When Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny premiered at the Cannes Film Festival, the film met with mediocre reviews. Knowing Indy’s latest odyssey would be compared to its predecessors, Mangold spoke with Variety about the film’s reception, saying, “When you’re in franchise land, it’s very hard for critical thinkers…to overlook what I’m sure their editors want, which is this business prism of how does it rate to the other ones?…I always thought if I were second or third...

Harrison Ford would like some more cuddly critters to bear his name.
The German scientific journal Slamandra recently published the discovery of a new species of snake, giving it the name Tachymenoides harrisonfordi, after the “Indiana Jones” star.

Ford’s iconic character is, of course, famous for being afraid of snakes, making the naming of a snake after the actor a fitting joke and tribute, though he has some qualms about it.
“These scientists keep naming critters after me, but it’s always the ones that terrify children,” the actor joked in a statement to Entertainment Weekly. “I don’t understand. I spend my free time cross-stitching. I sing lullabies to my basil plants, so they won’t fear the night.”

Indiana Jones gets punched in the face. That’s how director James Mangold decided to end Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny, the fifth and final movie about the adventurous archaeologist. For some, the ending is the ultimate sign of disrespect, in which a broken Indy begs to be left in the past with Archimedes, only to get knocked out and dragged to the present by his goddaughter Helena (Phoebe Waller-Bridge). Others found it to be a bit of a stretch, taking Dr. Jones out of his element via time travel, and throwing him into an unfamiliar past with the aid of another wild MacGuffin.
But for Mangold, the ending was the only way to close out the final movie in a franchise that began in 1981. Giving Indy access to a time-travel device and then letting him...

[This story contains spoilers for Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny.]
Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny director James Mangold is glad he not only met his heroes but collaborated with them, too.
Dial of Destiny is Mangold’s twelfth feature film, but it was his second film, Cop Land (1997), that prepared him most for the job nearly three decades later. Cop Land boasted a cast of Sylvester Stallone, Robert De Niro, Harvey Keitel and Ray Liotta among others, and this experience conditioned the New York filmmaker for his current working relationships alongside industry titans such as Steven Spielberg, Harrison Ford, George Lucas, John Williams, Frank Marshall and Kathleen Kennedy. Mangold certainly anticipated moments where one of these heavy hitters would pull rank, but he was pleasantly surprised when just the opposite happened.

Indy’s back, in a new chapter that is a throw-back to that original Steven Spielberg Raiders Of The Lost Ark that hooked us to begin with. While Harrison Ford returns as archaeologist/adventurer Indiana Jones, along with a bunch of other Spielberg characters from the first one (along with some new ones), and this is the final film in the series and a farewell to Ford as the character, Spielberg does not direct Indiana Jones And The Dial Of Destiny. Fear not, director James Mangold (Ferrari Vs Ford) seamlessly captures the Spielberg vibe. You’d never know if you didn’t look at the credits.

Harrison Ford returns as Indiana Jones for his (presumably) final big screen adventure as the titular character in Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny. While this fifth installment in the series is an improvement over 2008’s Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, it fails to reach the heights that the first three films in the series – Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981), Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom (1984), and Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade (1989) – managed to achieve.
In this adventure, an aged Indiana Jones (Ford) finds himself in the 1960s where he must race against time itself to keep the legendary Dial of Destiny out of the hands of former Nazi Jürgen Voller (Mads Mikkelsen) who plans to use the device to change the course of history.
Of course, Dr. Jones does not take on this task alone. This time around he is accompanied by...

Chicago – By all accounts the Indiana Jones series had nowhere to go but up after the woebegone “Crystal Skull.” But “Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny” manages to clear that admittedly low bar to add a sense of adventure back to the tales of the graying archeologist. That said there’s a certain pointlessness to the whole endeavor.
Rating: 3.5/5.0
The film begins with an extended opening sequence involving a de-aged Harrison Ford as Indy scrambling to recover stolen artifacts from the Nazis at the tail end of World War II. That’s when we first encounter the mythical “Dial of Destiny,” a relic from the mathematician Archimedes which can predict fissures in time and space. This throwback young Indy sequence represents a high water mark for Hollywood’s fascination with the technology. At first glance it actually does look like the Indy of old. Occasionally you’ll get a...

Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny isn’t only the final adventure of Nazi puncher/archeologist/teacher Indiana Jones. It’s also a referendum on his last, last adventure, 2008’s Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. Despite reuniting the original Indy creative team of director Steven Spielberg, writer/producer George Lucas, and star Harrison Ford, most consider Crystal Skull to be an embarrassing disaster. Haters have plenty of nits to pick at, too, including Indy’s refrigerator bomb escape, CGI monkeys, and space aliens. But more than a few would argue that worst part is Shia Labeouf as Mutt Williams, son of Indy and his former great love, Marion Ravenwood (Karen Allen).
For a moment, it appeared that Spielberg and Lucas wanted Mutt to follow in his father’s footsteps. The movie even ended...

While Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny marks Harrison Ford’s final performance as Dr. Henry Walton “Indiana” Jones Jr., the franchise may continue with another character leading future expeditions into the unknown. I’m talking about Indy’s goddaughter, Helena Shaw. Phoebe Waller-Bridge brings the character to life in the James Mangold-directed sequel. From what I’ve heard, Helena is a highlight of the new film, and the franchise’s future could rest in her capable hands. In a recent interview with Variety, producer Kathleen Kennedy says it’s “entirely possible” for Waller-Bridge to continue the brand.
Speaking with Variety about the new film, its mixed reception, and the franchise’s future, Mangold becomes visibly excited when the outlet broaches the topic of Helena Shaw.

Indiana Jones may be in his twilight years, but that doesn’t mean that he can’t solve a few more ancient puzzles. Disney has released a new clip for Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny in which the famed hero uses the power of water displacement to find his way out of a pickle.
Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny had its world premiere at the Cannes Film Festival last month, but the early reception was mixed. Some had a lot of fun with the movie and had plenty of praise for Harrison Ford, but others felt it was bogged down in nostalgia. Either way, I can’t wait to watch the film for myself and go on one final adventure with my favourite hero.

Harrison Ford’s final performance as Indiana Jones in Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny could be looking at an underwhelming box office when the film opens exclusively in theaters on June 30. Analysts predict a $60 million to $70 million take for the fifth and final Indiana Jones film over a five-day holiday opening. While $60M would be a reason to celebrate for most movies, the Indiana Jones franchise carries a legacy that could warrant more of a return for Ford’s farewell performance as the intrepid archaeologist.
Dial of Destiny‘s 3-day opening is down from the $100.1M opening for 2008’s Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, often hailed as the worst film in the franchise. Crystal Skull opened during Memorial Day weekend, securing $151.9M across five days. One could point to the mediocre reviews from Dial of Destiny‘s Cannes premiere as a reason for the...

Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny premiered at the Cannes Film Festival on Thursday night. At the glitzy Palais screening, director James Mangold and stars Phoebe Waller-Bridge, Mads Mikkelsen, Boyd Holbrook and Ethann Isidore enjoyed a warm five-minute standing ovation from the crowd. But it was Indy himself, Harrison Ford, who was the center of attention, with the actor visibly moved to tears by the reception.
Not soon after the premiere, the first reviews of the film, which hits theaters on June 30, came trickling in. As of late Thursday, the early critical reaction to the fifth film in the much-loved Indiana Jones franchise has been decidedly mixed.
A common theme among the early reviews is that the film is better than Indy’s last outing, the rather polarizing Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull from 2008, but not much better. Many reviewers took issue with digitally de-aging...

At the Cannes Film Festival recently, Harrison Ford fought back tears several times at the premiere of ‘Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny’, the fifth (and perhaps final) chapter of one of the most celebrated franchises in movie history.
No expense was spared as Disney jetted its top executives, including CEO Bob Iger and Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kennedy, to the South of France for the summer action film directed by James Mangold and starring Phoebe Waller-Bridge, reports ‘Variety’.
But when the credits rolled, Cannes mustered a muted standing ovation for Indy’s latest adventure. Yes, the applause lasted for five minutes, but by Cannes standards, that’s more of a polite formality.
As per ‘Variety’, regardless of how the crowd felt about the film, the biggest cheers of the night were reserved for Ford. The actor arrived on the carpet with wife Calista Flockhart, and an announcer introduced the...

There was genuine curiosity for many of us when James Mangold was confirmed as director on Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny, the fifth and final entry in the beloved franchise that started with a bang in 1981 when Steven Spielberg and George Lucas reimagined the Saturday matinee adventure serials they grew up with for a new generation that couldn’t get enough. Mangold, after all, was the man who not only resuscitated the weary Wolverine but gave the character a genuinely poignant sendoff that was thoughtful, textured, even profound in 2017’s Logan.
Maybe the Indiana Jones films, with their appealing combination of laughs and close-shave thrills built around a rugged, quick-thinking archeologist in a fedora and leather jacket, were never going to be a great fit for that kind of gritty treatment. But it seemed fair to hope for at least some kind of fresh take beyond the rinse-and-repeat...

One of the best lines in “Raiders of the Lost Ark” – which is to say, one of the best lines in the entire, now-five-film saga of Indiana Jones – comes when Harrison Ford’s intrepid archaeologist and part-time Nazi hunter lies on a bed, bruised, battered and aching pretty much everywhere. When his girlfriend, Marion (Karen Allen), comments on how many years he’s been doing the punishing gig, Ford ad-libbed, “It’s not the years, honey. It’s the mileage.”
Well, “Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny,” which premiered on Thursday night at the Cannes Film Festival, is about the years and the mileage. Then it’s about the years some more because the semi-supernatural twist this time around involves time travel.
The film is full of action, stunts and escapes from Nazis, because that’s what “Indiana Jones” movies are. It relies heavily on the charm and charisma...
