<P> 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 . </P>
