US Box Office
The box office is under attack by pirates this week. Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest, despite mixed reviews, not only break a first day release record ($55.5 million, beating SWIII’s $50 millon), it also breaks the 3-day opening record ($132 million, beating Spidey’s $115 million).
One victim of this, is Superman Returns, appearing to lose his powers of flight, dropping hard (56%) with just $21.9 million. Rounding out the top 5 are last week’s left-overs, all dropping one spot, resp. The Devil Wears Prada with $15.6 million, Click with $12 million and Cars with $10.3.
