I don't think it's wokeism.

It's just the fact that Harrison Ford is too old and should have relinquished the role to Chris Pratt. Actually, I'd like to see Bradley Cooper be Jones, as he as that professor and action figure look.

It’s another Disney Film.
I hope it does flop.

That droning voice hurt my ears after 3-4mins; had to shut it down.

James Camron wheeled out _Titanic_ to help _Avatar 2_ recoup the billion it had to make just to sustain itself.

Maybe they’ll wheel out the original and perhaps _The Last Crusade_ to make sure the fifth adventure makes its money, too.

I love the Critical Drinker.

Yes, Harrison Ford is too old. But putting someone else in the role won't solve the problem of the woke script that fans will hate.

Disney has killed a ton of revered franchises. Hope they al end up dumpster diving to survive.

Eh, I’ll watch it before judging it. There’s way too much judgment being passed down on every piece of media these days, before stuff is even released. Hark! It’s woke! ...good grief give it a rest already. I love watching movies, and can’t resist the nostalgia of a new Indiana Jones film. I even enjoyed the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, even though according to popular opinion, I’m supposed to hate the movie and I’m dumb for liking it.

I’ll have fun watching it hopefully, while all you fuddy duddies sit there and rant online about how anti-woke you all are and how great your judgment is.

Almost all $300 million + movies are flopping.

No telling what WB spent on “The Flash” . So far it’s only earned $125 million world wide.

Which means it will be available for rent from my cable provider earlier. Once it gets down to $5.99 I can use award perks to watch it for $1.

So this film has got to make $600-$700 million to even see a breakeven point which means it probably needs to gross worldwide at least over $1 billion to see any kind of return whatsoever. And we don’t know what kind of back in deal Harrison Ford they have on this. This guy is right they have an extreme uphill road to drive to make any money on this movie.

How Kennedy has a Job is beyond me....

I wish I could fail so spectacularly as these woke, largely women, do, and still get promoted and huge paychecks.

Just saw the projected opening numbers and they don’t look good. It’s predicted it will open over the weekend at $70 Million. By contrast Top Gun 2 opened at $126 Million and went on to gross $718 in the U.S. alone.

Top Gun 2 cost $152 Million to make.

So I would say as it looks, unless it does massive overseas Top Gun 2 numbers or Avatar 2 numbers, it will never make any money and this will definitely impact Disney’s bottom line along with all the other flops they have had this year.
