Although it didn't come close to my prediction of a $200 million weekend, Pirates of The Caribbean: At World's End still cleaned up at the box office taking in $142.1 ($156.1 if you count Thursday nights receipts), a Memorial Day weekend record. Although the box office take is outstanding, people are saying that it didn't beat Spider-Man 3 because of its' 2 hour and 47 minute run time, limiting the number of screenings a theater could fit in. But people fail to remember that Pirates opened up in over a hundred more theaters than Spider-Man. My reasoning? Pirates had stiffer competition, having to face off against Spider-Man 3 and the third installment of the animated juggernaut Shrek: The Third. Oh and who the hell really wants to go to the movies when I can get drunk at the beach for 3-days? Or have unprotected sex while tubing down the Colorado River like a certain "#1 fan" of this blog?
