Given the billion dollar earnings of the previous three films, Lucas and Spielberg are betting that it can.
But what do you think? Are you looking forward to the latest adventures of Indiana Jones?
The feverish anticipation surrounding the fourth Indiana Jones film looks set to prompt the biggest movie opening of all time for blockbuster veterans George Lucas and Steven Spielberg.
Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull: box office history of Indiana Jones films
The excitement over Harrison Ford's long-awaited return to the screens as the whip-toting, globe-trotting archaeologist, is expected to rake in $150m within five days of opening in the US.
Lucas and Spielberg have already clocked up 13 of the 100 top-grossing movies of all time.
The original trilogy - the last installment of which was Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade - was one of the highest-earning franchises in film history, grossing more than $1bn.
Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, which opens on Thursday and cost a reported $65m to make, sees a revival of the franchise which director Spielberg has hinted could be followed by a fifth instalment.

I have 2 other LEGO Indiana Jones sets, but they were from the trilogy movies.
I bought this specifically for the Cate Blanchett's character ;-)
