Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny's debuted to a bad Rotten Tomatoes score after Cannes, but now it's risen into Fresh territory. Here's why.
Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny debuted to mixed reviews and a "Rotten" score on Rotten Tomatoes, but its score has slowly gone up, becoming Fresh in time for its wide theatrical release. While the trend may be for blockbusters to see a decline in their Rotten Tomatoes score after their debut, Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny is doing the exact opposite, largely because of Disney and Lucasfilm's release strategy to debut the movie at Cannes Film Festival.
Blockbusters like Top Gun: Maverick seeing huge success from a Cannes debut and Indiana Jones movies are historically well reviewed, but the decision to premiere at Cannes was still a big risk. The previous Indiana Jones movie, Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull earned 77 percent on Rotten Tomatoes in 2008, but a closer look at the score reveals a huge split with Rotten Tomatoes specially selected "Top Critics" scored it a full 10 percent lower at 66 percent.
Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny Has The Opposite Rotten Tomatoes Problem From Other Recent Blockbusters Ironically, Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny's Rotten Tomatoes score going up is the exact opposite of the trend seen with many other big blockbuster movies in recent years. There's been a strong trend of movies seeing significant drop-off from their debut scores, sometimes even losing their Certified Fresh status or flipping to a Rotten score altogether.
