POTC2 records Options

[*Kathleen*]

- Largest grossing film on opening day ($55.5 million; Spider-Man 2 was the previous record-holder with $50 million)
- Largest grossing film on non-holiday Monday ($18 million; Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith was the previous record-holder with $14 million)
- So far, it has grossed over $180 million (many predict it will break a third record of largest grossing film in the first single week; Spider-Man 2 holds that record at $192 million)
- On unrelated (interesting nonetheless) news, it was banned in China.

What the, Lol. If i was chinese I'd fly my ass to the next country where I could see it Lol.

I was reading article reviews about it and the magezines were saying that POTC was a flop and all this stuff and I was like ... what? Because I read that it did so much better than Spiderman and everything. I love POTC.


Am I weird because I get SOOOO MAD that I can't be a pirate. And whenever I see commercials or things on DisneyChannel Movie Surfers I have to change it because I get so sad and mad that I can't be a pirate, and that I probably will never be an actress ? I get so upset.

Yeah, it's funny that it got worse reviews than a lot of movies that it still grossed more than this past year. But it's okay. I can't really be a pirate, either, so we can sulk in self-pity together, no? Yeah I thought I heard it only had broken the first record I listed, but I looked into it more and it broke two (and is probably going to break the third). I honestly don't know what people were talking about, saying how bad it was and whatnot. That hurt. It's surprising, though, because movies tend to usually break one record (if they're even that lucky).

I remember watching something about this on TV. It's true that it got bad reviews, but it did make more than all of the other movies in the Box Office. And surely it'll be reason enough for viewers to anticipate POTC3. I know I'm excited.

I heard the third movie is coming out Memorial Day weekend in 2007.

[*Kathleen*]

Yeah, I heard that, too, but then again I remember hearing Keith Richards was going to make an appearance as Jack's dad and that they were filmed at the same time. Maybe he'll make it in the third. From what I'm hearing now, they're aiming to release it next summer. I can't wait an entire year.

I feel bad for my friend. She's obsessed with POTC but the thing is she had to go to China this summer.

[RCcola]

i suppose the reason why it earned so much but reviewed so badly is because it was the most anticipated movie of the summer.

wonder why they banned it in china? are they afraid of giant squid-like monsters???

[me1issaaaa]

I think that would be an understandable reason to kill yourself if you live in China.
Geez, critics always give bad reviews to the best movies

[*Statues/Shadows*]

I only read reviews in the newspaper, and that's mainly just to keep track of what's coming out, but it got good reviews in there It said it was better than the first.

[Hiphop d[-_-]b]

Yeah, it upset me reading the review. I got mad and all sad. This movie makes me feel too many emotions.


I also heard it was supposed to come out near Memorial day or December, but that there were some problems and a delay. I dont remember, because I was only skimming the article. I cant wait. I want to act now. Well, I've always wanted to act but still.

DAMN POTC. Why can't I be a pirate
