 What does POTC 2's Opening Mean For The Film Industry? I was just thinking about this. Where does the industry go after this opening? What changes will we see, and what can we expect?

It should send a message to skip the mid week opening and stick with Fridays....

It might help them understand people want more humor in their blockbusters. Superman Returns and MI:3 could have used more humor.
And it might possibly open them up to the power of women moviegoers. It was they as much as any demographic that made Pirates big.
I'm not expecting any major changes but maybe a nudge here or there.

It means that PotC3 will have a $200M+ 4-day weekend next May.

a movie doesn't need a fanatical fanbase to open huge, and that the real money still comes from the general audience.

With both Shrek 2 and this, it might mean they take anti-heroes more seriously.

Studios have become too fixated on genres to realize that. Pirates harkens back to the Raiders days when movies were lighthearted and fun.

Hire Terry Rossio and Ted Elliot. They both wrote both POTC's, Shrek, and National Treasure, all blockbuster crowd-pleasers.

I think it teaches the studios a lesson about not over marketing your movies.
Pirates 2 was made because people wanted to see what happens to Jack next (along with part three).

Hopefully it will signal that there is life beyond comic book films.
And that like Lord of the Rings and Harry Potter, if you really put care and attention and detail into your character, sets, film, you can produce something beautiful that can bring in a large audience.

Fun > All.
That was Supes biggest problem, and it's the reason Pirates is huge.
