Indiana Jones Tops the Box Office

Posted on May 27, 2008

Indiana Jones and the Crystal Skull made box office magic over the Memorial Day weekend, taking in $126,917,373 over four days. We saw it and loved it. And we were shocked at how good Shia LaBeouf was. Really. He was pretty annoying in Transformers, but somehow he's grown up a bit. He's calmer. He's funnier. Or maybe he paid attention to what Harrison Ford was doing and learned a few tricks. In any event, the dialogue is snappy, the action is non-stop and Harrison Ford has still got it. We're ready for Indy 5!

In second place was The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian, which pulled in another $29,810,163, putting its cumulative take at $97,855,173. In third place was Iron Man which made another $26,111,130, for a cumulative take so far of $258,278,546. Now that's what we call a comeback for Robert Downey, Jr. The sequel is already being planned. In fourth place was What Happens in Vegas, which made another $11,363,713 for a cumulative take of $56,609,605. That's excellent for a romantic comedy and probably means we'll be seeing more of Cameron Diaz and Ashton Kutcher in the near future.

Here's the trailer for Indiana Jones and the Crystal Skull:
