Indy To Set Box-office Record?

Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull blasted off Thursday night with signs that it could overtake last year's Spider-Man 3 and set a record for a box-office debut. The Spider-Man sequel opened on a non-holiday weekend last May with $151.6 million. The best Memorial Day results were posted last year by Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End with $153 million. Paramount figured that midnight shows of Crystal Skull in the U.S. Wednesday night brought in about $4.5 million. The studio did not release any full-day estimates for Thursday but rival studios keeping an eye on ticket sales figured that the film probably took in $25-30 million.
