Looks like it's the end of the line for SUPERMAN, which now being beaten on a per-screen average by PRADA -- could this be like PLANET OF THE APES where the eventual gross will by off-set by the expense of its production and lack of enthusiasm in terms of word of mouth? (at this point, domestically speaking, I think we're talking possibly even a smaller gross than what APES generated several years ago!). I for one could live without sequels, especially given the direction Bryan Singer chose to drive the story in. Hugely disappointing.

1. PIRATES 2 $18.5 m (per screen $4586, $214m total)
2. LITTLE MAN $7.6 m
3. YOU ME & DUPREE $7.3 m
4. SUPERMAN RETURNS $3.29 m (per screen: $840, total $155m)
5. DEVIL WEARS PRADA $3.21 m (per screen: $1140, total $76m)

Actually I found the answer.

Good riddance as far as I'm concerned. Bryan Singer deserves the wrath of Man of Steel fans for killing the franchise off again!!

I would think its tepid gross this weekend would only add fuel to the fire...

Weekend Projections -- even a 50% drop for Pirates isn't bad (is it not the highest 2nd week grossing movie ever?) at all, considering what it opened to last week!

1 1 Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest BV $62,186,000 ($258m total)
2 N Little Man SonR $21,700,000
3 N You, Me and Dupree Uni. $21,338,000
4 2 Superman Returns WB $11,620,000 ($163m total)
5 3 The Devil Wears Prada Fox $10,450,000 ($83m total)
6 5 Cars BV $7,536,000 ($217m total)
7 4 Click SonR $7,000,000 ($119m total)

Pirates deserves all the success it gets.

62 million for the 2nd weekend? that's still more than many blockbusters do on their first weekend...

it deserves this success...

but LITTLE MAN no. 2? oh my...
