Indy at $126M for 5 day
That’s not very good, right? I mean, in comparison? I thought it was on like 9,000 screens! Look at Iron Man go, what a monster.
Here’s the breakdown, courtesy of Box Office Mojo.
1. Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull (Paramount)
$101.0 million | 4,260 | $126.0 million | 1
2. The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian (Buena Vista)
$23.0 million | 3,929 | $91.1 million | 2
3. Iron Man (Paramount)
$20.1 million | 3,915 | $252.3 million | 4
4. What Happens in Vegas (Fox)
$9.0 million | 3,188 | $54.2 million | 3
5. Speed Racer (Warner Bros.)
$4.0 million | 3,112 | $36.2 million | 3
Actually, it’s going to be $151 million for 5 days. That $126 million is only Friday-Monday. And it’s second best of all time Memorial Day weekends, hard to complain.
You’re right, that was from Thursday through Sunday, actually. Still, I’m not really complaining, but that the 4th Indy flick, after 19 years of anticipation, is still performing less than Spider-Man 3 makes me sad (and I liked Spider-Man 3!). Heck, Shrek the Third did better than Indy in 4 days.
Of course, this is all water under the bridge; of course it’s a hit, and someone right now is plotting a green-lightable, yet nonsensical draft for #5.
