Sab's just providing the economic proof to support what others have been saying for years.

Pale Horse said:...I would like to throw the thought out that perhaps the tent-pole model of an Indiana Jones feature is indeed outdated.
Jay Rasulo said:We've also learned that there needs to be a cap on tentpole, nonfranchise movies. We need to cap those at a level that allows us to experience good economics and doesn't quite put as much at risk. So going forward, you're really going to see a cap on the spending on those movies."
The Hollywood Reporter said:Rasulo said a typical year in the future would feature one Star Wars film, two Marvel films, one Disney Animation movie and two from Pixar, in addition to one to three other tentpole films and "some other films that would be Disney live-action branded but not be of a tentpole nature."
Grizzlor said:So if they can squeeze another billion dollars (KOTCS made $600 Million profit) out of Indiana Jones/Harrison Ford...
Milliones said:Like other posters told you, there is money to be made in Indy
kongisking said:Lazy, people. Truly lazy. No wonder this movie will never get made.
Grizzlor said:At worst they stand to probably make a couple hundred million with very little risk.
DIrishB said:Its budget was 185 million, it made 785 million, ie 600 million profit, minues whatever other additional costs = still a hell of a lot of money and a notable financial success in the eyes of the studio heads.
That's assuming that any new Indy movie by Disney will be good…and my prediction is that it/they won't be (just like their version of "The Lone Ranger"). Not everything they touch is golden because Disney does have their fair share of failures.IndyForever said:I predict an Indy 5 + 6 filmed back to back both could easily generate $1b each maybe slightly more for 6.
This isn't the 1st time where Lucas has attended the Montreal Grand Prix. While I doubt he is actively working on a story, I don't see the connection between Lucas being there and him working on Indy 5. The Grand Prix is only 3 days long so how does it relate?IndyForever said:We will hear Disney say they are working with writers on a story unless Lucas is currently doing it which I doubt as he was in Canada at the weekend with his wife to watch the Formula 1 race I saw him on TV in the garages but no-one bothered interviewing him at all

Plus, Georgie was not there to talk about Indiana Jones. He was there because he likes fast cars!
Only 18 movies have made $1B, but a fan can dream. However, they include (by my count) 6 less deserving supposedly final installments.IndyForever said:Indy 5 + 6 filmed back to back both could easily generate $1b each maybe slightly more
So I'm sure Disney's contemplating whether Spielberg would add $50M - $75M to the total and make himself worthwhile. Or if giving Lucas a story credit and Spielberg a producer credit and having them visit sets and premieres would keep fans pacified. It would probably feel about the same to the average moviegoer. I doubt Ford would say no to such an arrangement and $50M+.They have a very strict set of guidelines that they impose on each director they hire, which is why (with the exception of Jon Favreau and Joss Whedon) no director has made more than a single movie for Marvel Studios.
Yes but a final Indiana Jones would generate a lot of global interest outside US is where the real money is nowadays. KOTCS topped The Dark Knight in 2008 that was excluding China, 3D & Imax $$$ so global appeal is still high. Now global box office is much bigger Indy 5 could easily wip past $1b.Moedred said:Only 18 movies have made $1B, but a fan can dream.

Also, in that second Cracked Marvel article I linked:

Moedred said:Sure, Marvel is cleaning up internationally and probably selling heaps of toys. Even if superhero movies become box office poison they'll keep arriving to preserve the respective film rights.
Moedred said:Even JK Rowling is off writing Potterverse screenplays. Endings are so rare it's hard to gauge how big they might be.
Here's the sked.The studio now produces about 10 movies a year, and its annual lineup is dominated by family-friendly franchises: one Star Wars sequel or spinoff, two or three Marvel superhero movies, one or two live-action versions of animated classics like The Jungle Book and Beauty and the Beast, and two or three animated films, either originals or sequels.
A committee of 20 executives analyzes franchises, hunts for new opportunities and occasionally demotes fallen stars, as happened with High School Musical. Mr. Iger decides what the company?s top franchise priorities are each year, sending a powerful signal to Disney?s 180,000 employees in offices, studios and theme parks around the world.
Moedred said:Reconsidering Spielberg's directing fee: if Mike Moore directed the truck chase in Raiders, after other second unit work I'm guessing Spielberg directed about 85% of Raiders. What if he directed 51% of Indy 5 at a reduced rate for Disney and still had his name on it? He could send second unit directors to locations overseas (since he didn't want to travel very far last time) and check in digitally. The emotive turning points he's interested in usually occur on set anyway.
Lance Quazar said:It would never happen. The DGA itself frowns on even the very idea of "directing teams" and rarely permits two directors to share credit on a film.
This notion is 100% impossible.
Pale Horse said:Is Cosmatos' Tombstone the anomaly here? (in all seriousness)...I know that film had special circumstances, though.
