Dead Man's Chest

There are movies that absolutely kill at the box office, and there are movies that only find their audience later on DVD. And then there are movies that do both.

Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest is apparently one of those movies. Disney has announced that the Pirates sequel sold an amazing 5 million copies in its first day available on DVD, and that it is on pace to break the record for best-selling live action movie on DVD.

That record is currently held by — you guessed it — Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl, which sold 16 million DVDs (plus another 2 million on VHS). The current record holder for all-time DVD sales is Finding Nemo, with a staggering 27 million.

Anyway, I guess now those rumours of Pirates of the Caribbean parts 4, 5 and 6 aren’t looking so crazy anymore.
