Indiana Jones And The Kingdom Of The Crystal Skull struck gold at the international box office this weekend, raking in $143 million on its first four days on release.

The Steven Spielberg-directed movie has already taken the U.s. by storm, with a $56 million haul in the first 48 hours after hitting cinemas on Thursday.

And its impressive draw continued around the globe - making the action adventure the sixth biggest foreign launch of all time, behind the likes of Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End, Spider-Man 3 and Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix.

The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian is the second most popular movie outside the U.s. market with $18 million, while Iron Man and romantic comedy What Happens in Vegas are tied at three with $12.5 million each.

Rounding out the top five is Speed Racer, which continues to slip out of interest with just $3 million.
