More records for Pirates

It's fun to watch the various Box Office analysis sites on the web, because they are all very excited about the records that Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead man's Chest is breaking at the moment. Every day seems to be a new record day, as Pirates recorded the biggest non-holiday Monday gross ever, besting Star Wars Episode 3: Revenge of the Sith's record by $ 3.7 million. The record now stands at $ 18.1 million. Several of the analysts are even speculating that Dead Man's Chest is on track to become the highest grossing movie ever in America, it's sights set firmly on Titanic's $ 600.8 million dollar total. At the very least, it seems like another very successful weekend is ahead for Captain Jack Sparrow and his shipmates, as the two movies premiering on Friday don't seem a real threat to the box office crown. While You, Me and Dupree and Little Man are bound to attract some viewers, analysts predict that the Pirates might take home another $ 60 million to $ 70 million bounty.
