The movie grossed an estimated $153.8 million in four days and made $18.1 on Monday, the most ever made on a non-holiday Monday. Some writers are even saying it may go on to pass the biggest money maker in history, "Titanic," which made over $600 million.

It's funny how some of you mentioned that ticket prices are more expensive so newer movies make more money, but even with that being, "Titanic" has stayed at the top of the all-time box office charts for almost ten years!

Check that. "Pirates" has made $186.3 million as of yesterday, almost setting another record, just behind the biggest money maker in the first six days, which is held by "Spider Man 2" at $192 million.

"Pirates" has now made over $200 million and is expected to make $60 million over the weekend!

I hope so... I am so tired of seeing Titanic at the top of the list when it was a good movie but not a great movie! AND a lot of the money Titanic made was because a lot of people paid to see it multiple times...
I think Pirates 2 could mean more people TOTAL saw it instead of the same people over and over again...

Nope....Domestic some where between 365mil and 425mil, if it had opened in May, it would have had a better chance, it's over seas totals should boost it to around 725-800 million worldwide....
Most of the people answering don't seem to realize the difference between the domestic & worldwide boxoffice totals, Titanic did about 605 million in North America, but 1.8 billion world wide, that record is not in jeopardy....
The over saturation of Pirates will hurt it, Revenge of the Sith was in about 600 less theaters in it's opening and has similar numbers...over time more theaters mean less viewers & viewings. Titanic never made more than 45 million in any one week, but maintained good numbers for over 3+ months, Pirates will be lucky if it is still in the top 10 in 6 weeks...
I really dont think either record of Titanics will be broken by Pirates...after a huge 3 day open it is now trailing the pace set by Revenge of the Sith last year....Sith still holds the 4 & 5 day opening records and it went on to make a little over 380mil....and over 700+ worldwide....the thing Pirates 2 has going against it, is that it is not as good as Titanic or Revenge & many other movies that top the record lists...time will tell....

Yes, because ticket prices are more than they were when titanic was released. They don't count total number of ticket sales, but income (which I think is stupid). Each successive film becomes a bigger and bigger money maker because the ticket and marketing prices continue to climb year after year.

Not likely. It will make a lot of money, but Titanic was a phenomena. It will likely be some time before that it topped, whether better movies come along or not.

The second Pirates movie is nowhere near as good as the first. Dont even come close - but ANYTHING is better than Titanic, so I would hope so.

Probably not.
Too much build up, not enough umph behind the movie this time around.
I think 3 will though.

It might, it has a good variety of audience, both men and women and even kids like this movie. All depends on how it goes in worldwide release. =)

Not even close. Titanic had international "legs" that this picture can only dream of.
