As anticipated, the new Indiana Jones film has cleaned up at the box office on its opening weekend.
Kingdom of the Crystal Skull more than recouped its big budget with an estimated $311 million in global box office sales through the long weekend, according to studio estimates. This included £12.5m in the UK.
Paramount Pictures estimated the action sequel made $151.1 million in the U.S.
and Canada from Thursday to the holiday Monday and $160 million overseas.
By comparison, in it's opening weekend (Friday through Sunday) Marvel's Iron Man brought in $98.6m in the US.
