‘Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny’ strikes gold at the box office
“Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny” got a hero’s welcome on its hunt for the No. 1 spot at the box office.
The action-adventure struck gold and raked in $24 million on its opening night Friday, according to IMDB’s Box Office Mojo.
The film stars Harrison Ford in his fifth and final portrayal of archeologist-extraordinaire Jones. “While Ford is scrappy and lovable as ever, Indy was never a role that should have been played for 41 years,” The Post said.
“Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse” remained in second place this week, taking home $3.435 million.
The superhero flick has enjoyed earnings of more than $550 million globally, according to Variety.
In third was “Elemental” with a $3.4 million take. The animated comedy, which was released on June 16, had the worst opening-weekend box office numbers in Pixar’s history, as per Insider.
“Ruby Gillman, Teenage Kraken” took home the fourth place prize, with $2.34 million in sales on its opening night.
The computer-animated action-comedy, which Vulture said “might be the strangest movie of the year,” centers around an awkward high school student, voiced by Lana Condor.
In the fifth spot was sex comedy “No Hard Feelings,” which was number one at the box office last Friday, which took in $2.25 million.
