While it is a humongous number for Pirates (and certainly exceeding my expectations), I just can't wait to see DP07's reaction to it and an explanation as to why it didn't make $70+ million opening day.

I think POTC2 should make around $141 million for the weekend.

And DP was off by a whole million with his 140 prediction he's been making for the past several months.

Ah, fuck SR. It has its 9 days and it missed. It had its chanced and it blew it. It'll probably manage 22m this weekend

No uber-blockbuster this year? Yeah right.

POTC2 breakdown

OD: 55m. New record
Sat: 46m (16.4% drop). New record.
Sun: 39m (15.3% drop). New record.

OW: 140m. New record

IM: 2.545

HOWEVER...I think ROTS 4-day record won't be broken.

Pretty bad for Supes, but can't say I didn't expect that. Looks like a $22 million weekend to me. Perfectly in line with my suggested 58% drop.

The most amazing thing in all of this I think is that Disney's biggest weekend could very well be DOUBLED this weekend. For a studio that has been around so long, and releases so many films, that's staggering...

"This number obviously doesn't include midnight sales!" If the number holds, the real winner here is BJ. I still think the legs are going to be drastically less than he's anticipating, but he stuck with that 58m number for a long time.

Right on target for Dead Man's Chest. I see $137 million. Plus it looks like the holdovers didn't get spillover business, and that Dead Man's Chest didn't rejuvenate the box office, like The Incredibles did.

That would be amazing if true for Pirates, if that happens I am guessing it could make 130-140..

If true, that'd be really something. I considered $50+ million unlikely, so... stupid me.

I'll bet anyone Disney greenlights a sequel tomorrow and is filming by August for a Summer 2007 release date.

I love this kind of opening in relation to the Derby. I'm going to be 10 million off, and yet my average is going to be something like 93%!?

If it did what you state and it might not do that well, might do better who really knows we are basing all this on the conjecture of a rumour. Anyways, it might beat ROTS, because it will be a Summer Monday and movies that open this huge have great drops on Monday. Spiderman 2 did $12m on its 7th day after it had already made $180m and this appeals more to young kids than SM2. A $19-20m Monday would be more likely than not.

The last day or two he went goofy, trying to build excitement and making all sorts of outrageous claims but I didn't take them seriously.
