HOLLYWOOD, June 30 (UPI) -- The U.S. adventure flick "Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull" has grossed more than $713 million worldwide, Paramount Pictures said Monday.

SAVE MONEY ON TRAVEL DEALS

The studio, along with Lucasfilm Ltd., said its movie has earned more than $300 million domestically and $400 million overseas since its release last month, making it the top-grossing worldwide release in 2008 so far.

"Indy" is Paramount's distribution arm's second $300 million-plus release this summer, joining Marvel Entertainment's "Iron Man", which has grossed more than $309 million so far domestically and almost $250 million overseas.

Paramount said it is the first studio in movie history to release back-to-back $300 million -plus grossing films two years in a row. In 2007, two consecutive Paramount releases -- DreamWorks Animation's "Shrek the Third" and DreamWorks/Paramount's "Transformers" -- both surpassed $300 million domestically.
