"Pirates" hits $960 million at global box office
"Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest" ruled the foreign box office for an eighth weekend, grossing an estimated $17.8 million from 48 territories.
Disney's seafaring sequel has now earned $554.7 million internationally; including its North American haul, the global total stands at $962.3 million.
Disney expects the title to surpass within a week the global gross of 2001's "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone" ($976.5 million), which would make "Dead Man's Chest" the third-biggest worldwide box office smash of all time.
