I love #1 and #3, hated #2. I just hope they make it entertaining, instead of trying to preach at us again.

I saw DMC last night, and I LOVED it. It was darker than the first, but Depp turned in another stellar performance as Captain Jack. the Ending offered some interesting sub-plots to look for in Pirates 3.

Pointness addition to a dead thread, but this film decently crossed this $440 million mark.

With my favorite movie "A Scanner Darkly" right behind it.  "Scanner" did really good in the box office and did almost as good as Pirates.

$00 milion you mean Wr. DMc is the 7th film to make $400 million, and is now 6th on the all-time list, passing the original Spiderman. It will not pass Titanic, but if it grosses another 57 million it will pass Star WArs as #2 all-time on the US list. It probably will pass $1 billion worldwide...

Yes, I did mean $00 million, it was a typo.

Well, in any case, it recently crossed the $400 million line, in the U.S. boxoffice. I believe the first one made somewhere between $350 million and $375 million, in the U.S. boxoffice.
Worldwide, the first one only made about $650 million-$675 million, this one's topped that by about $200 million, thus far, and its not done yet!

I didn't know there was a movie called "A Scanner Darkly". What's it about?

And a trailer.

It came out in select cities about two months ago.  So it's probably gone now.

Eh, it looks like its worth a look. I'll try to see it, whether it be in the theaters or DVD.

So that makes it only the 3rd film to reach $1 billion. It may pass ROTK, but no way is it going to pass Titanic, It would need another 800 million to do that.

I was going to post a spoiler for POTC 3 but the image won't show up on this site for some stupid reason.  And I can't delete this now totally useless post.  Sorry.

Probably for the best anyway.  I can only imagine what would happen if a Pirates fan (like me) stumbled across a Pirates3 spoiler :p
