Every kid and teen in my fully packed theater went wild at the end of DMC on the opening friday. That was when I knew the weekend might be huge (and it was lol)

I must be the only one that thinks DMC is an overlong tedious movie. COTBP was tighter and funnier.(When Depp's Sparrow was surprising and refreshing in his unexpectability and not a tired comedy schtick)

DMC would be good if they completely cut out the irrelevant and overlong opening.

Uh, the lines to get into the movie didn't give you a hint?

[bballman24]

Fuck, I can't remember any scenes from it.

The only movie I fell asleep in.

There is a reason why I did not join screaming with the rest of the theater at the end of DMC lol

That time, I lived in a place where there was only one big theater so we got packed most of the time, but it was the first time since Spider-man 2 and ROTK and to some extent AOTC where the audience reacted in anyway lol

Dead Mans Chest is perhaps Johnny Depp's best movie! (and best selling).

[HeyItsMoses]

Is MU hitting at least $45m this weekend?

The reaction to the ending would be irrelevant to the opening. I saw DMC on opening day and I saw Inception on its first Saturday. Inception had a much stronger/more audible reaction from the crowd, yet it opened to $62m while DMC opened to $135m. The opening is all about hype, nothing more and nothing less. I knew DMC would be huge when I saw long lines with people of all ages. Couldn't believe there were dudes in their 50's lined up to see it on opening day.

Just came from WWZ and jumped to the last page for discussion and what do I see....talk about f**cking POTC. 

Interest in this weekend nonexistent it seems.

 Yes, if it gets good Saturday bump than 50M could be in picture.

It's all Druv's fault.

DMC's opening was all about Disney marketing and great WOM from COTBP.

My bad.  I had just finished watching COTBP and that movie's amazing. I just wanted to point that out. 

[CaptainJackSparrow]

DMC also had great WOM. Otherwise legs would have been like AWE, also don't forget millions of DVDs were sold.

AWE had huge sales on home video too.

Pretty much.

 

Also, the boringness of Superman Returns made it insignificant competition.

Tonight's movie is....

I can find dozen of movies in his filmography that are miles better than DMC.
