That's astounding! $100 million in two days? $132 million in one weekend? Almost 3x greater than the first movie's opening weekend!

The only question left: will the third movie be able to top this record-breaking figure? It's a difficult question to answer, but it is possible.

I dunno... another good question will be, "Will Spiderman 3 beat it?"

I was thinking the same thing, don't worry about it, not only was it a whole other thread it doesnt even belong in this part of the forum, it doesn't fall into WDW news and rumors at all lol

*waits for people to flame me*

I knew that was posted. I did do a search. I posted this cuz the final weekend tally was up, and i thought it deserved its own thread.

Nothing wrong with your comment mate. It's just a friendly reminder that the search is our friend :)

And I too saw the movie - very good but not as impressed as I thought I'd be. Could be due to the fact that it was left open-ended - we'll probably not be able to determine it's true significance until the third one is out.

Possibly, but can you imagine Pirates 3 next year?

Yeah... and I don't think it will be as big as this one is. At least from a personal stand-point, I'm not as "dying" to see 3 as I thought I would be. The twist was nice, the effects were good, but the story was FAR too convoluted in my opinion. Will I see 3 opening weekend? If I can, but I'm going to make my schedule around it.

You have the right idea warlord, I enjoyed it much more on the second viewing...I'd have still changed a few little things but really liked it better the second time

What did you think was too convoluted? I think the story twists and all were great and I think we are all in for a great ending to the triology. I am curious though as to what you are thinking about....?

Pirates will have a much tougher haul next year....it will not only be dealing with a recently released Spider-Man 3, but it also goes right up against (coming out a week later than...) Shrek 3. Not a film that I would want to pit my movie against. Disney is really banking a lot on their confidence in this Pirates franchise, but to be honest (and I really dislike Shrek and haven't ever liked it), but....Shrek is probably going to hand Disney it's rear end on a silver platter (I can't believe I just said that......).

I'll probably go see POTC2 at some point, but to be honest the trailers didn't grab me...I didn't absolutely love the first one enough to make seeing this one a neccessity. I'd probably see Cars a third time before I go to see POTC2.

Yeah, the twist and turns were there... but what was the point? Not a one was neccessary to the overall plot. Even a lot of the characters seemed to return out of coolness than anything else. Honestly (and I really hate using this as a metaphor, but it's fairly accurate), it feels like they went all Matrix Reloaded on Pirates, making a too complicated story from what was originally a fun, simple film.

But both of them are "tacked-on trilogies", which I have major grievances with, anyway. So, I might just be biased.
