The summer's biggest blockbuster, Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest, sailed past $400 million on Sunday, its 45th day of release. The supernatural swashbuckler became the seventh picture to ever cross the milestone, and only Shrek 2 did it in less time.It will certainly climb one more spot on the chart, since it hasn't run out of steam yet and the next movie is just $2.5 million away (it made more than 5 this past weekend alone). After that, it's anybody's guess where it will end up, but my prediction is that it will have to make do with being number six, because I can't see it making another $30 million to pass number five.
It will probably depend in large measure by how other releases perform in the final two weeks of the summer season (according to Hollywood, summer ends with the Labor Day weekend, screw the calendar!)
Personally, I didn't see the movie. I saw the first episode of the franchise and wasn't that impressed that I had to see the second, so I guess even the third, which I believe will be released next year, is out of the question, but forecasters are already predicting a huge success.
We'll see.
