I thought we had a Pirates of the Caribbean thread, but I couldn't find it. This is definitely worth mentioning:

Pirates Reaches Massive $923.8M Worldwide

Disney's Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest easily won its seventh straight weekend at the international box office with $25.5 million at 6,222 playdates in 51 markets, reports Variety.

The seventh victory, tying the record set by Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl in 2003, drove the sequel's foreign total to $522.7 million and the worldwide total to $923.8 million -- sixth place on the list just behind Star Wars: Episode I The Phantom Menace, at $924.3 million, and The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers, at $926.3 million.

"Dead Man's Chest" soon will be challenging Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone for the No. 3 slot at $969 million combined. And with Greece and Italy still to open, "Dead Man's Chest" has a decent shot at becoming the third film after Titanic (with $1.8 billion) and The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King ($1.1 billion) to gross more than a billion dollars worldwide.

"Dead Man's Chest" will soon pass the foreign total for The Da Vinci Code at $532 million.

Never saw the movie due to a hectic life style change. Having a 4+ month-old baby and trying to get the house ready for sale in the spring doesn't leave much free time...

Heard it was good and glad it is coming out before Christmas, so I will ask for it then.

Some proposed one-sheets for the third movie......
(I say "proposed" because the high-profile place I got em from has been order to take them down)

How can Johnny Depp be in the third one, I mean he was eaten by a giant octopuss? lmao!!!

Seriously, great flicks. Isn't Spleef Richards going to make a cameo in the third one as Capt. Jack's pop?

I'd like her to kick my ass just so I can say she got physical with me.

Dead Man's Chest was entertaining, but not half as good as the first one. I didn't think Depp was as funny or as cool in the 2nd. I expect the 3rd to be better.
