Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny Will Premiere At Cannes

Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny will premiere at the Cannes Film Festival on May 18th, more than a month before its June 30th wide release.

When you think of movies that will make their debut at something like the Cannes Film Festival, you usually think of some arthouse movie that will eventually make the Oscar and awards rounds at the end of the year. While that is typically the case, the line between "Oscar bait" and "mainstream film" becomes blurrier and blurrier with each passing year. So it really isn't surprising that Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny, which looks like it could be one of the biggest movies of the year, will premiere at Cannes on May 18th.

Director James Mangold said in a press release, "In 1995, I was honored to come to Cannes with my first film as part of Director's Fortnite. Twenty-eight years later, I am proud to return with a slightly larger spectacle. My legendary collaborators and I are very excited to share a brand new and final Indiana Jones adventure with you!"

That is more than a month before the scheduled wide release of June 30th, and a premiere like that usually indicates that the studio thinks they have something good in their hands. We'll have to see what happens with Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny, but it is always fascinating to see that line between "Oscar bait" and "mainstream film" continue to blur.
