"Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End" hauled in $112.5 million from Friday to Sunday, just below last summer's $135.6 million opening weekend for its predecessor, "Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest." Some people are calling it a disappointment that it is only the second highest opening of the year($126,547 million when you count the Thursday night showings).
I think that's highly negative talk... and we have to wait and see the true test of the film. If it drops more than 50 percent next week will be the actual test of it's metal. Spiderman dropped over 60 percent on it's second weekend and if Pirates maintains less than 50 percent then it has a decent chance of catching up to Spiderman. And if it doesn't, then being the second highest grossing film of 2007 isn't all that bad. Just ask John Lasseter about Cars...
"At World's End" had the fifth-biggest three-day opening ever. It's take overseas was $205,500 million dollars which amounted to 61.9 percent of it's total take of $332,047 million. Not bad for three and a half days...
