‘Indiana Jones 4′ does well at overseas box office

‘Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull’ is not only doing good numbers domestically, it’s doing even better outside the U.S. Dr. Henry Jones made an estimated $143 million internationally. Added to the $126 million reported in the U.S., the adventurer has already made $269 million worldwide. Something for which you can take your hat off, I’d say. It is the sixth best international opening of all time. Here is the are the numbers for the international top 5 during the four day period:

United Kingdom: $21.5 million
Germany: $12.6 million
Spain: $11.7 million
South Korea: $10 million
Australia: $9 million

I initially doubted Indy’s box office power and buzz, but the numbers prove he can still do it. The $143 million was taken from 12,000 screens in more than 8,300 locations and 56 markets. Another well deployed distribution by Paramount Pictures International, after last month’s ‘Iron Man.’
