Indiana Jones rocks the show worldwide

It bears noting that little arthouse flick starring a 65-year-old action hero reached $290 million domestically and continues to perform well at the North American box office. In fact, KOTCS performed better than other films that opened after it, including Sex and the City and You Don't Mess With The Zohan. Internationally, KOTCS crept back up to the #1 spot as it opened in Japan, putting it ahead of the U.S. #1 film, Get Smart. Its grand total gross is now $650 million, about what AOTC grossed worldwide six years ago, and its b.o. run isn't yet done. I'm predicting $750 million worldwide, about $310 million domestic when all's said and done. Not bad for a franchise that had been dormant 19 years!
