Screenrant are reporting that the first four Indiana Jones movies, all directed by Steven Spielberg, have left the streamer worldwide, leaving only 2023’s Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny and two specials still on the streamer. The likelihood is that the four Paramount films were part of an agreement struck to have them on Disney Plus ahead of the release of Dial of Destiny, a deal that has now expired.
Disney acquired Lucasfilm in 2012, becoming the owner of the Indiana Jones IP in the process. It’s important to note, however, that Paramount Pictures retained the distribution rights for the first four movies. A deal was then made in 2023 and the films made their way onto Disney+, just in time for the release of Mangold’s Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny. It’s likely that this licensing agreement has now expired, and that’s why the first four Indiana Jones movies have left the service.
