Dead Man's Chest Breaks Records and Destroys Superman
Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest exploded to theatres on the past weekend, gathering $132 million dollars in ticket sales for the first 3 days. This beats the old opening weekend record ($114.8M ) set by Spider-Man in 2002. Dead Man's Chest averaged $31,945 from 4,133 theaters.
In comparison, the other big blockbuster of the summer Superman Returns made $21.9M on its second weekend, combining to a total of $142M so far. It looks like the Pirates sequel might end up doing twice or more money than Superman Returns - a surprise for all the Man of Steel fans who were convinced that it will beat the Pirates in this summers box office race.
It is already clear that Dead Man's Chest will be the number one hit of the year, and it might climb very high in different all time box office record lists.
More updates to follow as the movie breaks new records.

Dead Man’s Chest Blows Away the Competition
Captain Jack is back, in a huge way. On Friday, July 7, he swaggered his way onto over 4,100 movie screens across the US…the third widest Disney release ever. Even so, lines to the cinemas stretched for blocks in some cities, and shows were sold out well in advance.
On Thursday, one day before the Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest US opening, Fandango.com announced a new ticketing record; the movie now stands as Fandango’s top day-before-opening ticket seller, the previous record holder being Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. For several hours on Thursday, Dead Man’s Chest was selling an average of seven tickets per second, and hundreds of midnight showings sold out in advance across the country. According to Chuck Davis, chairman of Fandango, “Pirates advance ticket sales have been truly extraordinary, and we expect to break even more records on Friday…[w]e are pleased that millions of moviegoers are taking advantage of the ease of Fandango to avoid sold out signs at the theatre this weekend.”
Davis’s Friday expectations may have been right on target. Although Fandango has not released an official count of online ticket sales for Friday, Box Office Mojo is reporting that Dead Man’s Chest took in an astounding $55 million on Friday…handily setting a new record as the highest opening-day box office in American history. The previous record holder was Spider-Man 2. Industry insiders estimate the total box office for the weekend could top $120 million, which would also be a new record.
Dead Man’s Chest also broke UK box office records on its July 6 opening, taking in £2.3 million and also breaking Spider-Man 2’s opening-day record of £1.57 million. Advance ticket sales at UK cinemas topped £1 million.
Thanks to Johnny Depp’s performance as Captain Jack Sparrow…helped in no small part by Disney’s in-your-face marketing…Dead Man’s Chest is already breaking records, and could be well on its way to becoming the blockbuster of the decade. Pirate mania has swept the world, mate…so if you plan on braving the crowd of armchair sailors at the theatre this weekend, buy yer ticket online or get there very early, savvy?

Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest World Premiere
A few things today. First, Indeppth.com is proud to have extended the contract of famous writer Bootler, who has recently found a new collection of random facts about Johnny Depp. The fans of Bootler will be able to enjoy at least 7 new hidden episodes of his random facts, hidden in different locations at the Indeppth site.
Secondly, we have finally a report about the World Premiere of Johnny's latest film, enjoy:
Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest World Premiere
By Mortsmuse
By 5:30 A.M. on June 24, 2006, the morning of the Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest World Premiere, over 5000 excited fans were already lined up at the gates of Disneyland. Once those gates opened, they flocked in and staked their claims along the lengthy red carpet, prepared to spend the next 14 hours or more braving the California summer heat and the chaotic frenzy typical at movie premieres in hopes of obtaining a photo or autograph from their favorite stars from the film…many of them hoping to interact with Captain Jack Sparrow himself, Mr. Johnny Depp.
Depp was the last celebrity to arrive on the red carpet, having already had a full day – spending time with seriously ill children through a charity organization, and being among the first to ride the newly refurbished Pirates of the Caribbean ride, featuring a stunning hologram of Davey Jones and new animatronic figures of Captain Barbossa and Captain Jack Sparrow.
Due to Depp’s late arrival on the red carpet and spending over two hours signing autographs for lucky fans, the movie itself was late in starting. Several media outlets stationed near the end of the red carpet became impatient waiting for Depp to make his way to them, yet Depp continued to calmly move up the rows of barricades, signing autographs, posing for photos and exchanging a few words with fans here and there. “Thank you for coming out tonight,” he was heard saying on several occasions. Meanwhile, a few interviewers reportedly grew tired of waiting and jumped the barricades, making their way toward Depp, at which point his security detail closed in and surrounded the actor, literally trotting him the rest of the way up the red carpet and into the screening area…leaving several hopeful fans tearfully disappointed and many media outlets grumbling after not receiving their promised interview with Depp.
After a few more group photos in the movie screening area, the film finally began around 10:00 P.M. Afterward, lucky viewers raved about the movie, many declaring it to be much better than Curse of the Black Pearl…exciting news for those who may have had their doubts about the sequel ever being able to top the original.
After being forced to cancel interviews in New York City last week due to illness, this week will be cram-packed with premieres, press conferences and even a special ceremony for Depp. The London premiere will take place on July 3, the Paris premiere on July 6, and the Japanese premiere on July 10. During the Paris premiere, Depp will be presented with the Grande Médaille de vermeil de la ville de Paris, honorary award for act of devotion, by the Mayor of Paris, Bertrand Delanoe.
Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest opens in wide release in the UK on July 6, and in the USA on July 7.

Article about the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise
Jim Hill has written this interesting article relating to the POTC franchise, the merchandise, and the further sequel possibilities:
http://jimhillmedia.com/blogs/jim_hill/archive/2006/05/31/2652.aspx
I must say, I personally wouldn't believe that Johnny Depp is interested in doing a fourth POTC movie. But maybe money might be such a big factor that it would lure Depp to do it. Considering Depp's importance to the franchise, he could probably ensure a big % of the profits the movies make, giving him a chance to make huge amount of money. And we are not talking about just a "regular" 20-25 million paycheck here. Depending on what his actual cut is, Depp might earn more than 100 million dollars from the profits of the two POTC sequels. Like Hill has written, rumours have speculated that the combined production and marketing budget for the movies would be even as high as 600 million dollars, which shows that Disney is doing everything it can to build this into a mega franchise. Considering this, it wouldn't be surprising if they would give Depp pretty much everything to come back for even a fourth and fifth movie.
Because face it, it is Johnny Depp who IS the franchise. If you took him away, the movies would lose the majority of their appeal. The (un)-charisma of Orlando Bloom and Keira Knightley wouldn't be enough to support the franchise. So, it is Captain Jack that they need.

Meet Jack Sparrow (in Disneyland)
Our forum is now open here: http://www.indeppth.com/forum/index.php
Right from the forum comes an interesting look at a few theme park related issues concerning Pirates of the Caribbean. Thanks for worldwide renowned Depptologist 'The Collector' for this!
"Disney is updating the PotC rides in both Disney Land and Walt Disney World for the release of the second movie this summer. They completed Phase 1 last month, which mostly entailed refurbishing various audio-animatronics (I noticed that the dog in the jail scene, for instance, had had all its fur replaced). They reopened the ride briefly for the Spring Break rush, and closed it again on May 1st to start Phase 2, which will bring about much larger changes. Eavesdropping in the Mouseketeeria (the sad thing is that I didn't make that up--that's really the name of the employee cafeteria under Fantasyland) has led me to understand that they have drained the entire ride for this stage.
According to the various announcements, the ride will remain closed through July 6. According to these same announcements, the new story of the ride will be Jack and Barbossa "racing to be the first ones to the treasure"--though I doubt this information due to the fact that a press release months ago said that it would be about Jack hiding from angry pirates who want to...I dunno, kill him or something. On characters from the new movie all it says is "Davey Jones will also be making an appearance." It goes on to say something about how "new characters will only be the beginning" and they're adding a bunch of new effects. No idea what those are. I know that they're adding some new scenery somewhere, because I saw the rebar frames for it out back next to the production center. Couldn't figure out what they were frames for, though, since at that stage it's a bit hard to see what the shapes make if you don't already know. They're keeping the ride's giftshop open all this time, but who didn't see that one coming?
Jack Sparrow is also going to be a meet-and-greet character starting in July, and will be found near the ride. His height range is 5'9"-6'0", and they have already picked the first guys who will play him."

Shantram article
Here is a small news article relating to Shantram, Depp's next movie:
http://www.ibnlive.com/news/shantaram-moves-into-big-screen/9205-8.html
Looks quite interesting, Peter Weir will be another great director Johnny Depp has the chance to work with. For me, the best Weir movie to date is the dreamlike 'Picnic at the Hanging Rock' from 1975, check it out if you can.
