How did Crystal Skull make that much money? It was terrible. That's probably why they made the new one. They figured it couldn't be any worse so they thought they had a guaranteed payday.

Crystal Skull was the comeback movie. I can understand why it made as much as it did despite not being great. I'm a fan and can't tell you anything about this last movie. I remember reading it was going to feature a woman taking over as Indy or something and I immediately checked out. Clearly I wasn't alone

Nostalgia.
Long gap between movies had people clamoring for a new movie. Unfortunately, Skull was not what anyone wanted.
It was horrible which killed any interest in a sequel. This movie is partially responsible for the terrible box office for Destiny. Along with essentially replacing Indy with a completely unlikable character.

Indiana Jones nostalgia, the movie industry was still alive and well, and Harrison Ford was nearly 20 years younger and still semi-believable as an action star.

Car crash bystander effect. Word of mouth on how bad it was led a wave of curiosity.... To see how bad it was.
