• $90 million opening for Johnny Depp’s latest meal ticket

• $46M the amount the first “Pirates of the Caribbean” made in its opening weekend
• $135M the amount “Dead Man’s Chest” opened at — the most successful of the franchise
• $114M the amount “At World’s’ End” opened at; it had a bigger foreign gross than the first two source

• » Look beyond the U.S.: While it wasn’t a super-impressive opening weekend compared to other “Pirates of the Carrribean” movies, worldwide it’s a juggernaut — earning over $256 million this weekend alone, which is the largest foreign weekend ever. Also of note: It’s still the largest domestic opening weekend of the year so far, which we credit to Michael Bolton being a major cinephile.
