Pirates sets new one-day box office record!

It took in 55.5 million, but I have a funny feeling that at least a third of that was from people who went just see the trailer for Rocky Balboa.

This has already been covered pretty well in the two POTC box office threads on the front page.

Me either. As a matter of fact there was only one trailer at our theater. I mentioned it to the GF but don't remember what it was.

I wish they would report it in terms of tickets sold/seats filled. I know they want to make money, but with ticket prices varying widely and changing over the years, a better picture of the 'popularity' of a film would be tix sales.

Yeah, the tickets sold is generally more accurate, tho for openings... still limited since we have more theaters these days.

Early reports have PotC2 selling 200,000 more tickets than Spider-man 2.
