I probably won't see this one until DVD, anyway. I tried to watch the first one on three seperate occasions, and it just bored me to tears.
Me too. Everyone was telling what a great movie it was and I rented it when it hit Dvd and fell asleep about half way in. The only scene I really cared for was the brief segment where the Pirates where walking under the water. Other than that, it was overated.
well even more records go down to POTC.
Pirates Breaks the Tuesday Box Office Record
Source: ShowBIZ Data
July 12, 2006
Disney's Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest has broken yet another record - biggest Tuesday at the box office ever with $15.6 million. The Omen remake set the previous record at $12.6 million last month. "Dead Man's Chest" also set the record for a nonholiday Monday two days ago with $18.1 million. The previous high was the $14.4 million earned by Star Wars: Episode III Revenge of the Sith.
If you're looking at days of the week, Friday also belongs to the "Pirates" sequel with $55.83 million. That figure marked the biggest single day and opening day ever. The movie set a new opening weekend record with $135.6 million its first three days. It reached the $100 million mark in just two days, another record.
"Dead Man's Chest" has earned $169.39 million in five days. "Revenge of the Sith "was at $172.8 million after the same amount of days, but it looks like "Pirates" will be ahead by the sixth day.

Saw it coming a mile away, personally. Guess you can chalk it up to Depp/Bloom fangirls and their collective allowances. Better this than that godawful "Superman" movie, which seems to have come and gone.
Returns was bad. I'll give it that. The thing that REALLY bugged me was the fact that Warner didn't have the balls to say "and the American way".
Oh great. Now Bruckheimer & Co will say "Shucks! Look at all the people who liked this movie! Let's make Pirates 4! Heck, why stop -- let's make Pirates 5, 6, 7 and 8!!" And run it into the ground.
Don't get me wrong, I loved the original Pirates; but the second mostly just left a bad taste in my mouth. And knowing Disney, they'll be cashing in on this one several more times to come. I say, whatever happened to artistic integrity -- what? 🙁

I dont get the big deal over sequels, and how it ruins the franchise or hurts the original. SO what if they make 6 POTC movies? What if 3 or 4 are good, who cares if 2 arent, dont watch them, it doesnt hurt you.

True. Still frustrating though. I guess I just need counseling. 😛
