$400 million or bust? Say it ain't so, Indie!

Word on the street here in Hollywood is that the latest installment of the Indiana Jones flicks -Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull - needs to recoup $400 million before Harrison Ford, Steven Spielberg or George Lucas see a penny.

"Kingdom" opens in May. Here's what the previous three movies did at the box office:
Raiders (1981) = $242.4 million lifetime domestic gross/$18 million budget
Temple of Doom (1984) = $179.9 million gross/$28 million budget
Last Crusade (1989) = $197.2 million gross/$48 million budget

Interesting. I think this series is better than the Star Wars series, don't you, Nick? Nerts.
