It is official, the Disney movie "Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest", has had the most successful opening weekend in Box Office history. In a time when people are talking about the demise of “Old Media” and the slump at the box office, “Pirates” comes along and grosses $136 million over three days in the US and Canada.

Today, Friday July 7, the much anticipated “Pirate of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest” will hit the theaters. All the other studios have backed off any other big opening this weekend, afraid to challenge the mighty Captain Jack Sparrow and his fellow Pirates. It is probably a wise choice. The buzz online is loud and clear: this is going to be THE big summer flick. The movie is already climbing quickly in the number of Yahoo searches on Movies and Actors.
