Part 2/8:
"Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny," despite its extensive budget and marketing, bombed at the box office, resulting in substantial financial losses for Disney. Mangold, in his reflections, expressed disappointment over audience reactions, indicating a degree of deflection by suggesting that fans were partly to blame for the movie's poor performance. Such comments have elicited criticism, especially from those who view it as a defensive stance against legitimate feedback regarding the film's shortcomings.
