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.
