Well, not too disappointed of course.
Pirates had a six day opening of $153,042,234 million dollars. It broke a Memorial Day records, just not the all time record when it comes to domestic... but it actually set an opening record for it's tally over six days.
$404,042,234 million dollars. Wow... "that's hot" as Paris Hilton would say...
No film in history has pulled so much booty, err... money, I mean in it's opening. So the total(domestic & international) added together created a powerful statement about Walt Disney Pictures, Franchises and... oh, yes: Pirates!
In an every growing trend, international box office is starting to play more and more of a role, relegating domestic b.o. to the back seat, so to speak. The overseas market made up 62.1 percent of a very big pie. As I've said before, we'll see this coming weekend what kind of legs the film has. If it drops 40 percent or less that's a good thing... if over 50 percent then we may not see it maintain it's hefty grosses. Were it to continue it's showings with the lower drop in receipts then it may still have a chance of overtaking Spider-Man 3. The one movie this summer that may throw a monkey wrench into Spider-Man 3 and POTC 3's plans could be Transformers. It remains to be seen if this movie featuring giant robots can steal the show from Super-Heroes and Pirates.
The summer box office is upon us...
