    I think "Dark Knight" and "Indiana Jones" will both be neck-in-neck. A few things - 1.) Teenagers weren't around for the last Indiana Jones movie, so they'll probably flock to the "Dark Knight" cause it's the newer, hipper movie, 2.) Men in their 30s and above may see both, especially there's some who grew up on the Indiana Jones series and 3.) Don't forget the comic book nerds (and former ones). They come out in droves, and may play a factor.

    Worldwide weekend gross for the Dark Knight was ...$199,711,483.
    And well on the way to the $900 million to $1 billion mark I predicted.
    Here's the movies with more than $300 million worldwide. The breakdown is total, domestic and international
    Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull $742.7 $312.6 $430.1
    Iron Man $566.1 $314.4 $251.7
    Sex and the City $371.5 $149.9 $221.7
    Hancock $371.4 $191.5 $179.8
    Kung Fu Panda $360.7 $206.6 $154.1
    The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian $301.2 $139.6 $161.6

    And it hasn't even been released in Europe yet, right? I think the international release is rolling out over time and not many places have it yet.
