Holy crap.

The scurvy dogs and scalawags of Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest plundered a bigger than whopping $132 million from Friday to Sunday to sail away with the record for best three-day opening of all time.
Disney’s theme-park-ride inspired sequel made previous champ Spider-Man ($114.8 million in its first three days in 2002) walk the plank.
Johnny Depp’s high-seas adventure cut a wide swath through the record books. Aside from the vaunted opening-weekend record, Dead Man’s Chest became the first film to loot more than $100 million in just two days. And Friday’s $55.5 million first-day booty was the best ever, surpassing the $50 million Thursday opening day gross last year for Star Wars: Episode III–Revenge of the Sith.
Finally, the sequel became the 51st Disney film to reach that milestone, something no other studio has achieved.
