Despite most critics splitting on whether or not Pirates Of The Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest was worth its weight in cinematic gold, actual (US) consumers decided that they definitely wanted to see this movie over the past weekend, even more so than any other movie in the history of film! That's right, with over US$132M in grosses, Pirates 2 beat Spider-Man's box-office weekend record of US$115M by a hefty amount, and even crushed the single-day record at the box-office, which was previously held by the terrible Revenge Of The Sith with US$50M, when it scored over US$55M on Friday alone.
