The film premiered at the 2008 Cannes Film Festival on May 18, 2008, and was released worldwide on May 22, 2008 to generally positive reviews from critics, although audience reception was more mixed. There was significant praise for the performances, action scenes, John Williams ' musical score, and the costume design. Criticism, however, focused on the dialogue, storyline, pacing, and overuse of CGI. It was also a financial success like the previous three films in the series, grossing over $786 million worldwide, becoming the franchise 's highest - grossing film when not adjusted for inflation, and the second - highest - grossing film of 2008. The film will be followed by an as yet untitled fifth film planned for release on July 10, 2020, for which both Spielberg and Ford will return.
