Variety has
reported that Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull
crossed the $250 million mark at the US box office and narrowly
beat Sex and the City to come in No. 3. Tentpole declined
49% to an estimated $22.8 million from 4,190 screens in its third
frame for a cume of $253 million.
Foreign fans of Sex and the City pushed the romantic comedy
to the top of the weekend's international box office with $37.2
million at 4,000 playdates in 40 markets, edging the third frame
of Kingdom of the Crystal Skull.
After the fifth-biggest foreign opening frame ever, Kingdom
of the Crystal Skull has totaled an impressive $326 million
internationally -- the best offshore cume since I Am Legend
reached $327 million earlier this year. It should easily eclipse
the $400 million mark, becoming the 29th pic to do so, with Japan
launching on June 21.
