Indiana Jones And The Dial Of Destiny had a decent opening at the box office this past weekend; in short, it won the day but still didn’t live up to the lofty expectations some may have had.

Here’s a look at the biggest domestic box office openings so far in 2023 (courtesy of Box Office Mojo), featuring The Super Mario Bros. Movie, Guardians Of The Galaxy Vol. 3, John Wick: Chapter 4, Fast X, and The Little Mermaid.
