Ahhhhhhhhhh, so close! Nuevo York beats New Mexico’s own Terminator Salvation at the box office over the holiday weekend, but both are dwarfed by all-time Memorial Day winner, Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End at $139.8 million, again N.M. comes in second with Geriatric Hunk Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull at $126 million. source

On a ~related note – Funny man David Spade puts his Benjamins where it counts.
In March Spade joined forces with Operation Helmet to provide state-of-the-art protection from traumatic brain injuries for troops serving in the Middle East, donating $100,000 for 3,000 helmets.
