Pirates: Dead Man's Chest Crosses $1 Billion Worldwide

September 7, 2006

Disney's Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest has finally crossed the $1 Billion worldwide earnings mark and has claimed its spot as one of only three movies ever to cross the mark (the others being Titanic and Lord of the Rings: Return of the King). This is quite an amazing feat and may foreshadow what is to come as 2007 nears (refer to Why 2007 Will Be A Great Year For Movies). If this movie, Pirates 2, can so "easily" cross the $1 Billion mark, how "easy" will it be for the big films like Shrek 3, Pirates 3 ("At Worlds End"), or Spider-Man 3 (coincidentally, all third iterations in trilogies) to cross the mark? We'll have to see next May…

For full box office earnings, refer to Box Office Mojo's All Time Worldwide Grosses and 2006 Yearly Box Office Worldwide.
