After tepid reviews at the Cannes Film Festival, Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull was launched in 4,260 theaters and found an eager audience over the Memorial Day weekend. Thursday debut numbers were low at $25 million but things picked up for the weekend with an estimated $101 million, bringing it’s total gross including Thursday to a respectable $126 million.

Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian, in it’s second weekend in theaters has earned a total of $91 Million. Iron Man, which debuted on May 2, has earned a whopping $252 million for its three week run.
The Steven Spielberg directed movie is the fourth action adventure film in the series made famous by Harrison Ford. After a 19 year break, the 65 year old actor set out to convince audiences that he was still viable as the swashbuckling hero.

According to those in the know, the slumping economy and high gas prices may have put a crimp in the way people spend their money but movie reviewers believe that this doesn’t translate to a slower box office. Most feel that when times get tough people head to the darkened movie theaters to temporarily forget about their own woes.

Harrison Ford has been in a six year relationship with Hollywood actress Calista Flockhart. The couple met at the 2002 Golden Globes when she spilled wine on his award. She has an adopted seven year old son Liam.
