Number of movies: 4
Highest grossing: "Raiders of the Lost Ark" (1981) — $696 million
Lowest grossing: "Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull" (2008) — $398 million
The "Indiana Jones" franchise has been successful. The last one, "Kingdom of the Crystal Skull," made over $780 million worldwide, and nearly $400 million domestically after adjusting for inflation.
But that's still the lowest-grossing movie in the franchise after inflation. In fact, they have all decreased at the box office since the first movie, "Raiders of the Lost Ark."
That's not to mention that "Crystal Skull" is the worst movie in the franchise, and left a bad taste in a lot of fans' and critics' mouths. Maybe the upcoming fifth movie, set to be released in 2021, can be both a comeback and a fitting end to the character — or at least, we can hope.
