And this weekends winners are…..

Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull debuted #1 at the box office this weekend, earning $101 million. The film earned $126 million since opening on Thursday and had the highest per theater average of any film in the top ten with $23,708 per theater. The opening now stands as the 10th biggest ever (Spider-Man 3 remains #1 with $151.1 million). The film also had the 9th highest single day gross ever, with $37 million on Saturday (#1 is Spider-Man 3 with $51.3 million on 5/05/07) and the 4th highest Thursday gross ever with $25 million (#1 is Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith with $50 million).
So with Indy taking over the box office this weekend. Lets see how the rest of the competition came in.
