Jacky Sparrow
well let's just say you'll get invited or you have a friend who works there in the cinema or you do not watch it in the cinema

katelovespirate
a lot of my friends work at the movie theatre. they get free tickets and they give them to me sometimes cause they are too busy to use them. lol.

True so true...I know that's why i went back to see it four more times, so I've seen it a total of five times...but I watch our favorite clips on youtube everyday...can't wait for the DVD - I am rushing out to buy the day it is released..first thing after midnight at WalMart....LOL

I'm so proud of DMC...Disney has got to know it's because of Jack and Liz...i mean come on, there cannot be anything about DMC that Will and Liz fans liked...so it has to be Jack/Liz shippers pushing this movie over the top....Wish I could go see it again...but no time to slip away....

It's Official: Pirates Joins Billion Dollar Club
Source: The Walt Disney Studios September 9, 2006


Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest, the swashbuckling summer blockbuster from Walt Disney Pictures and Jerry Bruckheimer Films, added a new milestone on Friday, September 8, 2006 when it officially crossed the $1 billion mark ($1,002.6 billion) at the global box office, and became only the third film in history (behind Titanic and The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King) to achieve this extraordinary feat, it was announced today, Saturday, September 09, 2006, by Dick Cook, chairman of The Walt Disney Studios.

The film, which continues to break records around the world*, has topped the international box office for nine consecutive weeks. Thus far, "Pirates" has grossed an astonishing $415.1 million at the domestic box office, making it the #1 film of the year. Internationally, its cumulative tally now stands at $587.5 million, also making it the number #1 film of the year. "Pirates" is scheduled to open in Italy on September 13, 2006.

Commenting on the announcement, Cook said, "To say we are excited is an understatement. This is truly an historical time for The Walt Disney Studios and a time to celebrate. 'Pirates' continues to perform on all cylinders and this is a real tribute to the remarkable team of Jerry Bruckheimer, Gore Verbinski, Johnny Depp, Keira Knightley, Orlando Bloom, and writers Ted Elliott & Terry Rossio. The film's phenomenal success all over the world proves once again that audiences will vote to come back again and again when presented with great entertainment."

Cook continued, "I'd be remiss if I didn't mention how proud we are of our other summer successes including 'Cars,' 'Step Up,' and 'Invincible.' It's a summer that you dream about and it came together with amazing talent and diverse stories that everyone could relate to."

i was camping when i heard the news on the radio about DMC! then i was like "wahooo!!!!!!!! Drinks on me....gibs get the rum....oh...wait..."

ivebeendepped43
lol nice

mmoviejunkie
wait so it hasn't even opened in Italy yet?

LovelyOne
they must realize the Liz/Jack aspect is what helped push its sales along?..its the only aspect thats really new in the movie...so it must have been the thing that was drawing everyone back to see it again..and hearing about how these 2 got together must have been what made all the people (who never watched it before) go and watch it..cuz thats a LOT more than those who watched movie 1

360 million vs a billion??

Chiki Mina
yup
i think disney is like DAMN
They mustve noticed that one of the BIG things taht hit the box office was the liz and jack scenes. Noticed on how it didnt hurt the potc franchise. it actually went higher!! this is definitely a good sign and a total wake up call for disney and the writers

yeah i didn't see pirates 1 until the weekend before pirates 2 came out then i saw 2 that weekend it came out
and when i saw the first one i was really hoping that the scene on the beach would progress, but when it didn't i was like okay fine no biggie, so seeing the scene progress in the second one made me really happy and i went back and saw it two more times

ivebeendepped43
