Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny: Home Release On December 5th
Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny is coming to 4K Ultra HD, Blu-ray, and DVD on December 5th with tons of bonus features.
It was a weird summer at the box office. Whatever you thought would do well before the middle of July either didn't do well or didn't do as well as everyone wanted it to. It was shocking to see how many massive movies that seemed like sure things underperformed repeatedly. In fact, it felt like more films managed to perform well despite the circumstances than things that should have been easy wins doing victory laps. One of the bigger examples of this was Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny. There were a lot of factors that went into this film underperforming the way it did, from the mediocre reviews at the early debut at Cannes to the packed summer box office where no movies really had room to thrive that wasn't neon on pink or about bombs. By the end of June, people had likely already seen Spider-Verse, and movies are expensive. If you decided not to check out this film back in the summer, you'll have the chance because it was announced that it is coming to 4K Ultra HD, Blu-ray, and DVD on December 5th. We got a press release with all of the special features and images, plus a new TV spot as well.
