When I first reported on the high ‘Indiana Jones 4′ tracking numbers, I must say I wasn’t feeling it. And when some analysts said ‘Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull’ might do $50 million on Thursday alone, I thought well, I could be wrong. But as it turns out, those numbers were a little too optimistic. Early estimates indicate anywhere between $24-$27 million for Thursday alone.
Yesterday’s (Wednesday’s) early screenings were good for an estimated $4.5 million — the ones after midnight. Of course you can’t compare those diehard fans to the more casual crowd this weekend. So those midnight numbers don’t prove much. But now that the early Thursday numbers are in, we can conclude Indy 4 is off to a good start. Not record breaking yet, but it might still break some during the weekend.
More on Indy’s box office when new numbers come in.
UPDATE: the final figure is a little over $25 million, according to Paramount.

 | | Yesterday we saw how ‘Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull’ was releasing early in some territories and now the first ticket sales have been counted. Paramount said Steven Spielberg’s baby made $2.2 in just one day in France. If we compare these numbers to the other Paramount blockbuster, we see ‘Iron Man’ made $7 million in the first 5 days in France, including the whole weekend. Indy can easily beat this.
Fueled by the positive Cannes hype, Indy sold 240,000 tickets. In Belgium, another country where the movies open at Wednesday, the picture made $250,000. We might see some early US numbers soon. A lot of theaters were sold out of tickets for their early midnight shows yesterday.
