The latest
Pirates film,
On Stranger Tides, is the clear victor when it comes to this week's box office. Earning a total of $90 million so far domestically, the film isn't as high as some predictions have assumed.
Meanwhile, Marvel Studios'
THOR - which has been in the top spot twice in a row since its release - slides down to third place, losing the second place to the comedy
Bridesmaids and earning a total of $15.5 million. From
Box Office Mojo:
Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides swooped in with the top-grossing weekend of the year so far. The supernatural swashbuckler claimed an estimated $90.1 million at 4,155 locations, edging out
Fast Five's $86.2 million launch. That was also the 12th highest-grossing May opening day ever, but, since close to half of
On Stranger Tides' gross was from 3D presentations at a record 2,747 locations (and due to today's general ticket prices), its estimated attendance level would rank 27th.
Thor took a typical third weekend hit, dropping 55 percent to an estimated $15.5 million. Its sum grew to a solid $145.4 million in 17 days.
Fast Five was in a similar boat, down 48 percent to an estimated $10.6 million and rocking a $186.2 million tally in 24 days.
Both
POTC: On Stranger Tides and
Thor are out now at your local theater!
