Indiana Jones earns $56 million in first 2 days

[Mrs Behavin]

LOS ANGELES - He may be older, but Indiana Jones is still finding box office treasure. Paramount's "Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull," the fourth film in the action-adventure series starring Harrison Ford, earned $56 million in its first two days, Media By Numbers president Paul Dergarabedian said.
After earning $25 million in its Thursday debut, the Steven Spielberg-directed movie brought in another $31 million Friday.
"These are very solid numbers, no question about it. The fact that earnings went up on the second day is a good sign," Dergarabedian said. "Whether it's on pace to beat "Pirates'" numbers from last Memorial Day remains to be seen."
Last year, "Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End" set the record for a Memorial Day weekend opening, earning $153 million including Thursday night preview grosses.
"Indiana Jones" will need a strong weekend finish to top the year's biggest hit so far, "Iron Man," which pulled in $98.6 million domestically in its first weekend.
The film opened early Thursday in 4,260 theaters, according to Media By Numbers.

Can't say I'm surprised.

I saw the first Indiana Jones movie as a kid and just hated it.

 

[Obdurate]

I actually have yet to see any because they've never interested me. Eventually I will.

 

[OSKIE]

56 million, how many gallons of gas is that?

 

[SouthOfHeaven]

I saw it lol but not untill Monday so we don't count on that first 2 days thing lol

 

[sakurarox]

i'm not surprised, it was awesome

My older brother loves those sorts of movies so I saw several of those type things as a kid.

 

[GuesSAngel]

i think the movie could have been better...maybe my expectations were to high.

 

[Minor Axis]

I was disappointed in Grandpa Indie... as one reviewer called it "a tribute movie". And I usually I like Shia LaBeouf (Transformers, Disturbia) but he was not well suited to the role imo.

 

[NicAuf]

My friend said it let him down, it was okay......the alien ship FUCKED everything up

 

[gillibean]

I really liked the movie but the aliens got a bit too weird. It would have been better if they'd kept that part more mysterious

 

[Kayteh]

Can't say I'm surprised.

The most suprising thing about this film was how crap it was.

Although Harrison Ford was still great.

 

[Peter Parka]

Unfortunately popularity of films is a lot more dependant on hype than how good it is these days.

 

[Obdurate]

And how easy it is to digest.

I mean, I overheard a girl say "[There Will Be Blood] was the weirdest movie ever!" It's a brilliant film but it wasn't really weird. Just expertly crafted. And not Saw IV.

I posted re this on another thread, never saw this thread til now. went to see the film today.

:cliffs:


Great film.

A few parts where ya think :smiley24: but not too many.

Action packed all through, not just last half hour like a lot of films.

Some good humour.

Better than I thought it'd be, not normally my type of film.

I give it 9/10

There Will Be Blood was exactly like the kind of classic western Hollywood made in the 1930s right down to the extreme ending.

I did not think it was weird, just about an unlikable character in a relatively dark story.

i like Indianna Jones 1,2 & 3. It's one of the rare trilogies where all 3 films are good. Then they made 4 which was mediocre, probably ruined by Shia LaBeouf who is quite an annoying actor. Sean Connery should have been in the new ones as he was a great addition.

This is an old thread but thought i should revive it
