Hollywood news is keeps trickling in, and it’s time for another round-up!
Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny, the first Indiana Jones film since the Disney acquisition of Lucasfilm, opened to a disappointing $60 million box office domestically and $130 million with the rest of the world included, according to Deadline. The global take is less than half what Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull pulled in its first weekend ($272.1 million worldwide, see “Indy Grabs B.O. Treasure“), and less domestically than the latest Transformers film this year ($61 million, see “Weekend Box Office Winner“). What’s worse for Disney, the film reportedly cost $250-$300 million to make, before marketing costs of $100 million.
DC Studios has found a new Lois Lane and Clark Kent for Superman: Legacy, according to Deadline. David Corenswet will become the next Clark Kent/Superman and Rachel Brosnahan will co-star as Lois Lane. James Gunn will direct this movie, and it will be the first title on the Gunn/Safran slate of DC movies (see “‘Superman: Legacy’“).
