Though suffering a huge dip in sales (earning $43 million this weekend, down from $139 million the previous weekend), Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End easily took the No. 1 spot at the box office this weekend, though Judd Apatow's latest baby Knocked Up came in second place with a respectable $29 million. The budget for Knocked Up, by the way, was approximately $30 million, so I'd say they're off to a great start.
Shrek the Third held steady at No. 3, bringing in nearly as much as Knocked Up did. Curiously, Spider-Man 3 took the 5th place spot after the Kevin Costner thriller Mr. Brooks, so it looks like ol' Spidey is losing some steam. This Friday we'll see whether thirteen Vegas rollers can swindle Captain Jack Sparrow out of his box office place of honor.

Again I say Knocked Up is an excellent film! Just saw it again with a coworker and it was just as good the second time! I realized that you can miss a LOT on the first time after laughing so damn much. Ah, good times!
1I love Pirates, a lot of special effects. Johnny Depp flutters my heart. For some odd reason, he looks hot in that costume.
2I saw pirates this weekend and loved it despite it being 3 hours long and the plot jumping around everywhere. I would love to see Knocked Up too, but I don't have anyone to see it with
3looks like pirates didnt need all that publicity.
4I LOVE IT!!! Orlando Bloom is soooo cute & hot!!! Pirates rule!
5Pirates was much better than the critics make you believe. But most especially if you love Johnny Depp. He is soooo good and you get "lots" of him! lol By the way, there is an extra scene at the end of the credits!!
6I think I'm the only person in the world who hasnt seen POTC3!
