BOX OFFICE: Pirates Of The Caribbean: On Stranger Tides Passes $1 Billion Worldwide!

i knew it would,transformers 3 & harry potter 7 part 2 will be the ones to beat it.

Heck yeah!
Shows once again that people can enjoy a movie while the critics take a shit on it.

Depp is one of those rare actors that is just really good in any role you put him in.

It was definitely better then the heavily convoluted At Worlds End. Like I said before bad reviews don't kill a movie but bad word of mouth does, most of the people I know don't give a shit about reviews from critic.

Avengers will blow the box office!!

Impressive...Most impressive

rubbish movie.
some movies just seem immune to bad word of mouth and poor reviews.

ugh. I'm never going to see this movie. Dont much care for it.

I cant get it! Why?! Aside from Johnny Depp who's always amazing even if they hire him to sneeze and go home, nothing in Pirates of the Caribian movies ever was that good on any level... I couldnt so much as sit through any of the previous 3 past 30 mins!

I'm beginning to think The Dark Knight stands alone as the only decent movie in the over $billion box office record coz the rest is just a trash list of CGI and 3D extravaganzas.
Hell, I wont be surprised if Transformer 3 passed the billion marker as well!

@StingrayX Harry Potter behind Transformers???? When did that ever happen?

As a big HP fan, I sure hope it makes a LOT

This is the new SAW. The sequels will not stop!

I think avengers has a good shot of hitting a billion. a lot of non comic book fans i know are already hyped for it. TDKR might make a billion too but i don't think the public will be quite as interested without the joker in there. i don't see spiderman hitting a billion though.

Ppl a billion dollar is a rare profit for a movie. Every movie isn't going to reach that. I'm surprised to see this movie reach that, because I haven't heard any reviews, and barely anything about it.

I like Deep, but I'll pass on this one. They're beating a dead horse.

Disney, pour that surplus money on more Marvel projects.

Engrosses the least out of its franchise domestically, but makes the most world wide. Huh.

...yup. Fifth one is comin up.

Transformers was never set to make a billion, the last movie opened in over 200 more cinemas than this new movie which equates to anything up to 6-700 more screens! In fact because of their 3D initiative, TF3 has opened in the least amount of cinemas out of the trilogy but yet it's doing extremely well!

TF2 opened in 4234 theatres on a wednesday with tuesday midnight previews and took weekend total of $108,966,307 even though its haul from wed-sun was $200.1 million. That same debut weekend it did internationally $190 million so amassed $390.3 mill Worldwide in 5 days!

TF3 opened in just in 2700 theatres on its tuesday midnight previews then expanded to 4013 cinemas on wednesday. Its fri-sun weekend total was $97,400,000 million but from wed-sun it has totalled $162. That's only $38 million behind TF2 considering the far fewer screenings it having every day! Internationally though its beaten TF2 with $210 from overseas, that's $20 million more than TF2 making its 5 day world wide total $372.1 million! That's only $18 million behind TF2 with less theatres and 60% of its domestic gross from 3D screenings which is something the other two TF movies didn't have to deal with.

With just a $195 production budget and only 5 days with Harry Potter still two week away, TF3 is pretty much on track to about the same as TF2. TF3 has also just beaten Spiderman 2's 7 year standing Independence Day weekend record with its $97 million weekend!
