It's interesting to see it only dropped 51% overseas on its second weekend.

I don't think SitC is going to do well next weekend. Rotten Tomatoes has it rated Rotten at 55%, which means a whole lot of people's hometown reviewers aren't very keen on it. For all the fanboy ranting on hater sites like 4Chan and whatnot, those aren't the people viewers listen to, and Indy has a 77% freshness rating on RT. As far as local word-of-mouth... well, most people I know have been saying, "it wasn't as good as the others, but it was fun". Hopefully Skull will have a bit more staying power.
As to how The Dark Knight will do... I think it's gonna be an amazing film, but yes, BB was not a huge, huge film... didn't crack 200mil. And I know BB has done great on DVD, but The Dark Knight has another problem... a *lot* of people don't know about it. I mean a lot of the general public. If I mention "The Dark Knight" to normal people I know, they just stare at me. When I remind it's the new Batman movie, I'd say only about half even realize there is a new Batman movie. Sure, they'll be more advertising as it approaches, but I think (as much as I love the title) not having 'Batman' in the title is gonna hurt it with a lot of average viewers who will just glance past its title in their movie listings... I predict it will do about 270 mil, maybe. I doubt it'll break 300...

It's been out 15 days and it's made (assuming more people buy tickets on a Friday than during the week) half a billion dollars as of today. That's excellent. I wonder how much it will have made in 50 days?
It hasn't even opened in Japan, and that's a HUGE market of Indiana Jones fans. That country alone should add substantially to Indy's box office take.
I'd like to see it make at least 640 million, which would be a tidy sum. I chose that figure because that's right about what AOTC made, and I think Indy 4 should at least make as much as a Star Wars prequel.

Looks like it's still running strong. May be able to pull in $20 million this weekend. Suprised to see SiTC doing so good still.

This is great. I was hoping Indy would have this kind of staying power at the box office, and so far it is looking to be the case. It knocked out sex in the city this weekend and doing 21 million the 3rd weekend isn't bad at all. The true test will be to see how it does this upcoming weekend and to see how it will fare against Zohan and Panda in their second weeks of release. My predictions for this upcoming weekend.

Indy's catching to Iron Man actually, pretty impressive. I'm surprised Iron Man is still hanging around so strongly, it obviously has great word of mouth.

Just a question, how is "Indy" catching up to "Iron Man' a big surprise to anyone? Perhaps the biggest movie franchise outside of "Star Wars". The film was guaranteed to make a ton of cash, no matter what the quality. It has a far bigger target audience than "Iron Man" did. The fact that "Iron Man" will almost make as much is what should surprise people.

Well, Iron Man has great word of mouth and has been doing really well. It's not exactly surprising that Indy would be the top summer movie (as it almost certainly will be), but it's just nice to see it passing probably its biggest competition.
