Some of you might have purchased that ticket to see the latest "Pirates" movie but it seems that most of you decided to skip out on it this time. The family adventure film failed to live up to it's predecessor this Sunday in the American Box office."Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End" sold an estimated $126.5 million worth of tickets during the Friday-to-Sunday portion of the U.S. Memorial Day holiday weekend, distributor Walt Disney Co. said on Sunday.
"Pirates" did, however, break the four-day (Friday-Monday) Memorial Day record with a day to spare. The old mark of $123 million was set last year by "X-Men: The Last Stand." Internationally, "Pirates" earned $176.7 million from 102 markets, Disney said.
The marketers behind the situation however are not ready to put on there unhappy faces yet. Apparently the competition was tough, with Spider Man 3 and Shrek the Third all showing very closely (wow they are all triquels).
What I am most concerned about is how this will affect the rumored release of a fourth "Pirates". This one may not have been that good but they should finish the thing off and create a tv spin-off when they're done.

The first Pirates of the Caribbean was great in every way, the best part of the other two was the special effects… the question now is, if they come out with a fourth, will it maintain the quality of the first?
