Pirates misses record

'Pirates' nabs $112.5M, missing record (AP)

This undated photo released by Disney Enterprises shows actors Johnny Depp, left, as Jack Sparrow and Orlando Bloom in a scene from 'Pirates of Caribbean: At Worlds End.' Pirate films are almost as old as movies themselves. Depp defines the pirate of the new millennium with his drunken, dreadlocked scamp at the center of Disney's 'Pirates of the Caribbean' trilogy. With his flamboyant style and campy charm, Depp's Jack Sparrow is a departure from the macho swashbucklers of yore, yet with the same good looks and rebellious edge that have long made pirate films so popular. (AP Photo/Disney Enterprises, Stephen Vaughan)AP - Box-office treasure is a little harder to come by on the new voyage of "Pirates of the Caribbean." The third installment in the Walt Disney Co. franchise, "Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End," hauled in $112.5 million from Friday to Sunday, well below last summer's $135.6 million opening weekend for its predecessor, "Dead Man's Chest."
