According to studio estimates, the Associated Press announced today that Johnny Depp’s record-shattering blockbuster Disney sequel “Dead Man’s Chest” earned another $62.2 million in the US in its second weekend. This brings its ten day total to $258.2 million and has made it the year’s top grossing film.
“It’s really fun when you’re riding a comet like this,” said Chuck Viane, head of distribution for Disney, which based the Pirates of the Caribbean movies on its theme park attraction. “This thing is just unbelievable. It creates its own wake.”
