'Pirates' breaks record for best 4-day Memorial Day weekend debut

Nevertheless, the adventure fell far short of breaking the best three-day opening ever, the US$151.1 million (euro112.32 million) haul for Sony's Spider-Man 3 three weeks earlier.

Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End hauled in US$142.1 million (euro.63 million) to commandeer the record for best four-day Memorial Day weekend debut, capping a huge month that puts Hollywood on track for record summer business.

Disney's third Pirates adventure fell far short of breaking the best three-day opening ever, the US$151.1 million (euro112.32 million) haul for Sony's Spider-Man 3 three weeks earlier, according to studio estimates Monday.

Yet At World's End cruised past last year's record for best four-day Memorial Day opening, US$122.9 million (euro91.36 million) for X-Men: The Last Stand.

With US$115.1 million (euro85.56 million) from Friday to Sunday, At World's End was well behind the US$135.6 million (euro100.8 million) premiere of its predecessor last summer, Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest, the second-biggest debut ever.
