Traditionally, Memorial Day weekend [1] is very kind to Summer blockbusters, and this year was no exception for Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull [2]. According to Variety, the return of the Steven Spielberg franchise was his biggest movie opening ever [3], hauling in an estimated $126 million over the four-day holiday.

While these results are a career high for Spielberg, the film itself did not break any box office records related to this holiday weekend [4] or any other long weekend openings.

Disney's The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian [5] dropped to second place followed by Iron Man [6]. The fourth spot went to What Happens in Vegas [7], which continues to perform well, followed by Made of Honor [8] at No. 5 and Baby Mama [9] at No. 6.

John Cusack's War Inc. [10] — also starring Hillary Duff — opened in limited release and did not make the top 10.
