While full weekend box office figures won’t be out until late tomorrow, the numbers are already in for Thursday through today. Indy isn’t the record-breaking hit that some people predicted it would be, but it’s still raking in the dough. Since midnight Thursday, Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull has made $126 million. That’s $101 million for Friday-Sunday, placing it tenth on the all time list of opening weekends, just above Iron Man. The two flip-flop on the list of top Saturday grosses; Iron Man is barely above Indy as number 8 with $37.35 million to Indy’s flat $37 million.

If Indy makes enough money tonight, it could pass Spider-Man 3’s opening weekend record of $151 million, even though Indy cheats a little because he had fives days to reach the top and the web slinger only had three. Either way, Dr. Jones, has proven this weekend that even in old age, he’s healthier than John McCain and can still make a hit.
