And Indiana Jones broke $300M domestically (or will by the time you’ve read this) and The Happening is at $120M worldwide, so I suppose we should expect Indy V and Night to be just fine.

I’m so gald WALL-E took the top spot. It deserves ALL the money in the galaxy. ALL of it. If I had more money i would just buy hundreds of tickets to it. I’d buy one ticket at each of the 4,000 theaters it’s playing at and wallpaper my house with them.
I don’t think anyone’s surprised at WALL-E on top… but what do you think about next weekend? I think Hancock will be #1, because you shouldn’t bet against Will Smith, but that WALL-E will be a high #2? No?
I think that’s right on. Really, in the family film department, there’s no new competition for Wall-E until Space Chimps hits on the 18th.
