Pirates of the Caribbean 2 has the best shot, from that list, as long as it's released 3-day.

It could very well be spidey 3 also.
I put HP4 there so people wouldnt ask, and War of Worlds, for the same.

POTC 2, no doubt.
Especially since how large it's fan base has probably grown.

Shrek 3 will. The others don't have a good chance, except maybe for POTC 2, and perhaps Indiana Jones 4.

Well, Pirates of the Caribbean 2 is a lock to break it! It will open on July 7th (=Friday) and will make about 120-125m on its weekend! It will also break the Opening Day of Spidey 2 easily! Mark my words! :razz:

Im not so sure about Pirates - it has to be one of the most forgotten $300m+ hits. Most people i know didnt even like it all that much. But its BO run indicated it had good WOM so it will open big but not Spidey big.

Ah..this thread. It's humourous how every so often the same sort of thread appears, it's either "what will beat Titanic? or Spider-man? or Shrek 2's record?".....its getting tiresome.
Think of some original idea's people, OR Impact stop making this thread over and over again. 
A movie that we do not know about yet will beat SM's record. _________________STOP UIGHUR GENOCIDE IN XINJIANG

Problem is that all the films that could've beaten the record opened on five days. I bet War of the Worlds would've had a shot if it opened on a three day. Batman will be big, but not 114 million big. Right now I'd say that if Pirates opened on a Friday, it would be the film to do it.

I see no reason why would Pirates 2 open that big as some of you are saying. And those that voted for it.
Think around $70m would be it's gross if opens on friday.
As for record breaking, none of those listed would break it.

I think that War of the Worlds could open to more than Spiderman.
