Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One took the top spot at the box office, making just shy of $80 million over its first five days of release.

Taking over for Steven Spielberg, director James Mangold previously sent Wolverine off with Logan and has now directed what is Harrison Ford’s final time in the fedora with Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny.  While obviously not at the level of any of the original trilogy, it is a massive improvement over Kingdom of the Crystal Skull and a fun, if overly long, send-off for Indy.

Indiana Jones’ final adventure took the top spot at the box office over the weekend but it was well below expectations, as is the trend for almost this entire summer so far.

Indiana Jones’ final adventure hits theaters this weekend along with the latest from Dreamworks Animation, Ruby Gillman Teenage Kraken, while Nimona and Run Rabbit Run hit Netflix and more in theaters and on streaming.

King Solomon’s Mines is one of the classic adventure stories and has seen numerous adaptations over the years.  In 2004, none other than Patrick Swayze took on the iconic role of Allan Quartermain for the Hallmark Channel when a two-episode miniseries debuted adapting the Henry Rider Haggard classic.

With Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny coming out this month and wrapping up Indy’s adventures, Zach and Chris went back to one of his earlier adventures and watch Young Indiana Jones and the Mystery of the Blues. 

During their tenure running Cannon Films, Golan and Globus were not afraid to chase trends and put their own spin on bigger, successful movies.  Post Raiders of the Lost Ark in 1981, everyone was trying to get their own throwback action/adventure movie in theaters and Cannon tried multiple times with movies like Sahara, Firewalker and the two Allan Quartermain movies, the first of which you can watch in this edition of Everything Action Theater.

As one of the biggest media events of the year, last night’s Super Bowl LVII was filled with star-studded commercials, an aerial spectacular from Rihanna, fast-paced, high-scoring action from the Chiefs and Eagles and, of course, a bunch of movie trailers. Check out The Flash, Guardians Vol 3., Creed III, and other trailers that debuted during the Big Game.
