By Disney and Lucasfilm have set a December 1st premiere date for “Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny” on the Disney+ service. The date is approximately five months after the film hit cinemas on June 30th.
The film opened to mixed reviews and ended up making $383 million worldwide at the box office, a far cry from the franchise’s better days.
Combined with a costly budget said to be around $300 million, the film is considered a box-office bomb and resulted in a nearly $100 million loss for Disney.
In addition, a feature-length documentary titled “Timeless Heroes: Indiana Jones & Harrison Ford” will be added to the service on December 5th and will look at the creation of the character and Ford’s enduring appeal.
Filmmaker Laurent Bouzereau, who worked behind the scenes of many Spielberg productions, directs the doco which will offer new takes from Spielberg, co-creator George Lucas, producers Kathleen Kennedy and Frank Marshall, director James Mangold and more.
There will also be archival footage across the four decades of the franchise in the documentary film that will screen worldwide.
