Pirates can't catch Spidey

Pirates didn't sell as many tickets as Spidey did at opening, but it still did very well. The movie length (2 hours 45+ minutes) hurt it because screens were limited in how many showings per day. Also, there was about 17 million done in pre-screenings, which likely hindered opening day as well.

And I suspect we will in time for Christmas, if not sooner.

Truthfully... who cares how it did next to Spider-Man? They're 2 different movies. They have 2 different run times. One is based on a comic book which will give it more of an audience there. It also started at 8 the day before where it made 14 mil. I don't get why people are comparing it to Spider-Man. To me it's pointless.

Pirates 3 set the record for most screens (breaking the record Spiderman 3 set.)

while i enjoyed both of them on opening night, i have to say POTC was better. they are both the two biggest movies of the year and both are blu-ray exclusive, which will crush HD DUD.

I am shocked they haven't brought out Spiderman or Spiderman 2 I know there planning on bring them all out together, but last time I checked the format war was still raging.

I liked Spidey way better than Pirates... but that's what makes movies great. We all have our favorites... as long as they all end up on Blu-ray, then YAY !

I'm just shocked at how many people care about either of these movies. They were both terrible! I nearly walked out of both, with Pirates completely pushing the envelope into the brink of ridiculous and nonsensical scenes right from the get-go.

I thought Spidey 3 was awesome. I haven't seen Pirates 3 as I don't go to the cinema very often.
1) My audio is better than any cinema I've ever been to
2) I don't crinkle wrappers and talk about every scene

I love this quote...Maybe I dont watch movies for the same reason you do but I watch them to have a good time. I want to see them push the envelope and show me something Ive never seen before. But hey, maybe I weird

Huh? Try more like $44 million separate the two, and then there's Shrek the Third in between.
