Indiana Jones takes $126m

BBC reports on how well Indiana Jones has done at the cinema.

The new Indiana Jones film has shot to the top of the North American box office chart, taking $126m (£63.7m) in its first four days on release.

Released 19 years after the last Indiana Jones film, The Kingdom of the Crystal Skull opened on Thursday following mixed reviews at Cannes.

Still have yet to see it myself, hopefully soon. In the meantime why not look at some photographs inspired by Indiana Jones.

Buy Indiana Jones stuff from Amazon.

Update: Buy Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull

The fifth Indiana Jones movie….

Last night I watched Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade on the BBC and really enjoyed it. Why I watched it on the TV when I have it on DVD is a different question!

This week sees the launch of the fourth instalment in cinemas, nearly twenty years after the Last Crusade hit the screen. I am hoping to get to see it, though I don’t go to the cinema as much as a I use to.

According to the BBC this instalment, Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, may not be the last.

Steven Spielberg has said he is happy to make another Indiana Jones movie if fans enjoy the long-awaited fourth film, Kingdom of the Crystal Skull.

There is a possibility then that there may be a fifth (or even a sixth) instalment.

I have enjoyed the first three Indiana Jones’ movies and even at one time contemplated writing a series of rules which were inspired by the films.

Not Indiana Jones…

With the new film, I may revisit the rules and see if I can put them on the web. In the meantime have a look at some pictures.
