Plenty of booty to go around
Published by Nate Nance May 29th, 2007 in Noteworthy News, Movie Blog, The InternetsThanks largely to the one-two-three punch from Buena Vista’s “Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End,” Paramount’s “Shrek the Third” from DreamWorks Animation and Sony’s friendly neighborhood “Spider-Man 3,” the four-day Memorial Day weekend was one for the record books. The total boxoffice for the 109 films tracked by The Hollywood Reporter was $255.3 million — marking the biggest weekend in box office history.
Pirates itself went $139.8 million, which I consider reasonable for all its flaws.
If you really care, here is a chart of this weekend’s take:
