'Pirates' ship-shape overseas
'Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End' topped $51 million to win its third weekend at the foreign wickets.
The buccaneers stayed on course in a robust frame at the international box office, as "Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End" sailed to its third weekend victory with $51.3 million at 17,500 playdates in 103 markets.
Disney's pirates fended off their first serious challenges as Warner Bros.' "Ocean's Thirteen" opened solidly with $28 million from 4,200 in 30 markets -- including 20 first-place finishes -- and Paramount's "Shrek the Third" grabbed serious green in its first major expansion with $25 million at 1,852 in 25 territories, setting several records.
And with the sixth frame of Sony's "Spider-Man 3" ensnaring $7 million at 6,205, the frame underlined the dominance of the third versions of mega-tentpoles in foreign markets -- where studios take in 60%-70% of their worldwide grosses on high-profile fare. The third "Pirates" pic and "Spider-Man 3" have already combined for more than $1 billion overseas; the two franchises have now combined for nearly $3 billion in foreign grosses.
Overall foreign biz posted socko results compared with the year-ago frame, when soccer's World Cup launch chilled international moviegoing as the fourth frame of "The Da Vinci Code" led with $22 million.
For the second weekend in a row, "At World's End" declined by 50% on the foreign front as it again showed more traction internationally than domestically. It held best in Latin America, with a 42% slide, and in Asia at 44%, while Europe slid a steeper 57% amid direct competition from "Ocean's Thirteen."
The third "Pirates" should become the 15th film to cross the $500 million mark for international grosses today or Tuesday. And with combined domestic and foreign box office nearing $750 million, pic's on target to join 17 others with worldwide grosses topping $800 million by the end of next weekend -- even with more serious competition via the worldwide launch of Fox's "Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer."
"At World's End" performed best by far in Japan, where it remained unchallenged by other tentpoles. It saw a decline of only 26% to $9 million at 871, lifting that market's cume past $50 million. It finished a sturdy second in the U.K., 21% behind "Ocean's Thirteen" with a 56% drop to $4.7 million at 552 for a Brit cume of almost $67 million; and in France, free of competish from "Ocean's Thirteen," the buccaneer biz fell only 29% to $3.9 million at 783.
"At World's End" finished behind "Ocean's Thirteen" in Germany with a 59% decline to $3.3 million at 1,568 and took in more than $2 million in Mexico, Australia and South Korea, where the pirates' cume has hit $30.7 million -- a record for a Hollywood pic. In Russia, the pirates' $1.5 million lifted the territorial total to $28.7 million, topping "Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest" as the highest U.S. grosser ever.
Third "Pirates" pic is less than $150 million behind the final foreign cume of $642 million for "Dead Man's Chest" and will receive one more boost Tuesday when it opens in China, its final market. It's already topped its predecessor in Mexico with $21 million, in Brazil with $12.8 million, in Hong Kong with $4.9 million, in India with $4.1 million and in Bolivia, Colombia, Ecuador, Indonesia, Malaysia and Singapore.

'Pirates' tops felons at international boxoffice
Walt Disney's "Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End" weathered intensified international competition during the weekend, maintaining its lock on the No. 1 spot for the third consecutive stanza with an estimated $51.3 million from 17,500 screens in 103 territories.
After two unthreatened weeks overseas, "At World's End" had to contend with the opening of Warner Bros. International's "Ocean's Thirteen," which tallied an estimated $28 million at about 4,200 screens in 30 markets.
Bowing day-and-date with its No. 1 domestic debut, the third in director Steven Soderbergh's Las Vegas caper series, co-starring George Clooney, Brad Pitt and Matt Damon, already has grossed $65.1 million worldwide.
"At World's End" also had to counter the expanded rollout (in 14 new territories) of DreamWorks/Paramount Pictures International's "Shrek the Third," which nabbed an estimated $25 million from 1,852 screens in 23 markets. Its overseas total is $54.5 million; worldwide, its cume is $336.4 million.
Meanwhile, "At World's End" has rolled up $493.5 million internationally in three weekends, surpassing 2005's "Star Wars: Episode III -- Revenge of the Sith" ($493.2 million) as the 15th-biggest overseas boxoffice smash of all time. It already has exceeded the international tally of 2003's "Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl" by nearly $140 million, and is shy $149 million of the total take of last year's "Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest."
"At World's End" should pass the half-billion-dollar mark internationally by today or Tuesday, according to distributor Buena Vista International. No other film has reached that benchmark so quickly.
"At World's End" now ranks No. 23 on the chart of all-time industry boxoffice hits worldwide with a gross of $747.1 million. It is the third most successful foreign release for Disney and the fourth-biggest worldwide grosser for the company (after "Dead Man's Chest," 2003's "Finding Nemo" and 1994's "The Lion King").
Japan was the biggest market for "At World's End," where the film ranked No. 1 with an estimated $9 million (down just 26% from the second weekend) at 871 screens, for a market cume of $50.5 million. In the U.K., "At World's End" placed No. 2 (after "Thirteen") with an estimated $4.7 million from 552 screens, for a cume of $66.8 million.
"At World's End" bows Tuesday in China, its last big overseas market.

after 22 weeks DMC had like 1.1 Billion dollars.
after 2.5 weeks, AWE is 250 million from 1 billion...wow. DMC opened July 7, closed dec 7(close to) so im assumin AWE would end around september/october...AWE might pass DMC on the all time chart...imagine 2 of of 3 Pirates over a billion dollars, its stunning.
CotBP topped out around 650 million...with very little hype compared to both sequels...
even if AWE tops out at 900 (i still think its gonna pass Spidey3) thats like 2.7 billion dollars in 3 movies.

Well Fantastic Four and Shrek 3 open in most territories this weekend. It's pretty exciting though, but theaters numbers will go way down this weekend.

im beginning to think it will...2 1/2 weeks out, already at 750...still has about 19 weeks in the theatres. plus opening in china...on average it needs about 13-14 million a week worldwide to break a billion. if it does 2 of the top 4 worldwide movies of all time are gonna be Pirates movies...AWEsome.
also...i expect a little bump in ticket sales this weekend...yes there are other movies out, but being Fathers day, and knowing my dad wants to go see Keith Richards, im assuming many more dads who are rolling stones fans will want to go too.

Saw it again for the second time, and like another poster wrote a few pages back: The film flows better the second time around. Still bummed about how little the Pirate Lords were used.
Final score: 8.5/10
