LOS ANGELES, May 25 (UPI) -- The latest "Indiana Jones" adventure movie got off to a strong start in U.S. theaters this weekend, opening at No. 1, Box Office Mojo reported.

"Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull," once again starring Harrison Ford in the title role of the cinematic series, grossed an estimated $101 million, easily pushing last week's top film, "The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian," to the No. 2 spot with $23.03 million in estimated gate receipts.

"Iron Man," slipped to No. 3 with $20.15 million, followed by "What Happens in Vegas" at $9 million and "Speed Racer" with $4 million.

Rounding out the Top 10 were "Made of Honor," $3.4 million; "Baby Mama," $3.32 million; "Forgetting Sarah Marshall," $1.67 million; "Harold and Kumar Escape from Guantanamo Bay," $915,000; and "The Visitor," $781,000.
