What About Indiana Jones' 5-Day Opening Weekend Gross?

The numbers are already in for Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny's opening weekend--a $60 million gross that would be deemed disappointing for any big Independence Day weekend release, never mind an installment in a classic Lucas-Spielberg saga.

But what about the prospects for the full five-day "weekend?"

Boxoffice Pro, which had down to the film's release anticipated its getting up near $94 million now has it doing not much better than $82 million--which seems to me unlikely to be the last downward revision of projections regarding the film.

Still, the film will have at least one chance to surprise the dismayed and dismaying--next week, when we will see how it holds up. Will good word of mouth offer at least partial compensation for a disappointing opening, the way it did for Guardians of the Galaxy 3? Or will the fall just continue, the way it has for The Flash?

Thoughts, readers?
