Weekend Box Office: Pirates Holds On
By James A. on June 3rd, 2007
“Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End” saw a big drop-off in its second weekend but still held on to lead the box office with $43.2 million. Its 10-day gross is at $216.5 million, well below the pace of “Dead Man’s Chest.”
The comedy “Knocked Up,” starring Seth Rogen and Katherine Heigl, was surprisingly strong in its debut with $29.3 million, landing it in second place. “Knocked Up,” directed by Judd Apatow, played in about 1,500 fewer theaters than “Pirates” but averaged 300 dollars more per theater. The thriller “Mr. Brooks,” starring Kevin Costner as a serial killer, opened in fourth with $10 million.
Meanwhile, “Spider-Man 3″ dropped from third to fifth with $7.5 million, raising its total to $318 million. That puts it at No. 17 on the all-time list, right behind “The Lion King.”

It’s amazing how many movies keep stepping up the figures, but also amazing to me is how much higher titanic is than all the rest.
