Even if that were true, Indy 5 with both Spielberg and Ford on board ain't gonna be cheap to make. The more Disney have to spend for marketing on top of that, the more difficult it becomes to turn a big profit.
KOTCS already used up a big chunk of goodwill, even amongst older fans.
If this is going to be a typical Indy flick, then yes, it's going to cost at least 100 million plus to make it, especially considering that both Ford and Spielberg charge high fees for their talents (I mean, look at Steven, the guy's a billionaire). Marketing, of course, will also be costly, considering the amount of money that studios put into promotion today, with even "small" films placing dozens of ads over social media, TV, and other mediums. But on the other hand, Indy belongs to the Disney/Marvel/Lucasfilm juggernaut, which bar
Solo, has been pumping out 1 billion plus box office hauls per film. Sure, KotCS might've taken away goodwill, but people are still interested in seeing another film with Indy, and casual audiences and hardcore fans are willing to pay up come July 2021.

Easy, tiger.
It wasn't aimed at you, plus "de gustibus non disputandum est".
I know, I know
. Just having a bit of fun, and yes,
de gustibus non disputandum est, as the Romans would say.
In fact, that saying might sum up all of our arguments over Indy 5.
