Welcome to a special — and quick — Memorial Day update on the box office numbers for the entire four-day weekend. Projections for Monday are now in and without further ado, here are the Friday-to-Monday numbers.

Adding these numbers to Thursday’s haul, Indiana Jones 4 has officially topped $151 million for its five-day holiday opening. Not too bad, but not a record-setting performance.

Still, it’s the best performance for any movie so far this year, and it’s very likely to be the top grossing movie of 2008. Like I say, if this is the best the top-grossing movie of the year is likely to do — a non-record haul — then everyone in Hollywood has to be worried about a possible down summer. Then again, maybe a movie will come along that will capture everyone’s imagination and do even better. Maybe Indiana Jones 4 can be had. Naaaaah.

Hope you had a happy Memorial Day at a theater or in front of a DVD player near you! See you later this week when The Reject Report has Sex in the City. (Man, I have to work harder on these headlines.)
