Pirates of the Caribbean Makes More Than One Billion

Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest, by Walt Disney Pictures has now hit over one billion dollars at the box-office.  There are only two other movies that have done this well at the box-office…Titanic and Lord of the Rings:  Return of the KIng.

This sequel, is no longer in the top ten at the box-office.  It made 4.9 million during Labour Day Weekend, giving it a North American total of $414 million, the sixth best result of all time.

Among the foreign markets, the most popular for this movie, was in Great Britain with $94 million and Japan $78 million.  Italy should have good numbers when the movie is released on September 15.

Despite its great success, it has little chance of beating Titanic which made $1.83 billion, or Lord of the Rings:  The Return of the King, which is still $130 million dollars ahead of it.

The third film in the sequel, Pirates of the Caribbean:  At World’s End, will be in theatres on May 25, 2007.
