[MOPO] Boxoffice Treasure In Pirates

[Flixspix]

.....and SUPERMAN  had generally much better reviews overall by a considerable margin.   Now note PIRATES is on 8500  screens that has to represent at least 2 onesheets  each.   That's 19,000  posters right there.   50 years from now that poster will be worth what?         By the way did anyone notice and congratulate MOPO's own Rudy Franchi's  Emmy Nomination for Best Reality Show?  His show up ended such programs as CHEERLEADER NATION, DANCING WITH THE STARS,  ROLLER GIRLS, COUNTDOWN TO LOCKDOWN, FILTHY RICH, ULTIMATE COYOTE UGLY SEARCH, WIFE SWAP, and ANIMALS WHO EAT THEIR YOUNG.  Congratulations Rudy for this auspicious recognition.  Who knows a new collectible may be on the horizon for you!   Yo ho, yo ho. A pirate's life for… everyone. Or so it seems after Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest plundered the record books with an estimated $132 million opening weekend, swatting Spider-Man's long standing $114.8 million milestone atop the all time chart. Buena Vista's swarthy sequel marauded over 8,500 screens at 4,133 sites—the third widest debut ever—compared to Spider-Man's 7,500 screens at 3,615 sites, though Pirates' estimated 20 million admissions out-paced Spidey by only a hair. Pirates pilfered a trove of records, but the key ones, in addition to opening weekend, were biggest single and opening day and fastest to $100 million. On Friday, Dead Man's Chest raked in $55.5 million (including $9 million's worth of 2,100 midnight showings), eclipsing Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith's $50 million and grossing more in one day than its predecessor, The Curse of the Black Pearl, did in its entire opening weekend. Dead Man's Chest also became the first picture to cross the century mark in two days flat.       freeman fisher 8601 west knoll drive #7 west hollywood, ca 90069 Visit the MoPo Mailing List Web Site at www.filmfan.com ___________________________________________________________________ How to UNSUBSCRIBE from the MoPo Mailing List Send a message addressed to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] In the BODY of your message type: SIGNOFF MOPO-L The author of this message is solely responsible for its content.
