Remember how we talked about the $400 million Indy 4 has to make before the big three get a share? Well, expect this point to be reached within a week. ‘Indiana Jones 4′ made $311 million worldwide in the first couple of days. Spielberg’s best opening to date. The old whip made an estimated $151 million during the full 5-day Memorial Day weekend, from Thursday to Monday.

‘The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian’ came in second with a disappointing $31 million during its second weekend. It merely beat ‘Iron Man,’ which made $27.5 million and currently stand at a total of $485 million worldwide. ‘What Happens in Vegas’ grossed double of what ‘Speed Racer’ did, with another $12 million. While ‘Speed Racer’ is driving off the circuit, making just $5.5 million.

2. Iron Man: $40,882,027 ($186 million budget, third week)

Apparently some people would disagree if a say ‘Untraceable’ is not worth your popcorn. Sony Pictures’ $35 million crime thriller wasn’t a major success in theaters.

‘Untraceable’ came in second for rentals, doing $6.9 million. The $22 million Diane Keaton comedy ‘Mad Money’ came in first, with $7.3 million in rentals. The number one from last week, ‘P.S. I Love You,’ added another $5.9 million in rentals, making a total of $13.1 million. And lastly, the first ‘Chronicles of Narnia’ movie topped the Blu-ray chart, with ‘Untraceable’ coming in second. All those numbers are making me dizzy.
