Pirates shoots for ninth week at top and $1bn

Buena Vista International (BVI)'s Pirates of The Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest will still be the one to beat as it bears down on $1bn in global ticket sales and attempts a ninth consecutive weekend as the international box office champion.

The adventure sequel thus far stands at $976m of which $566.8m was taken at the international box office.

There are no openings planned for the weekend, but strong holds are expected in all territories and executives have revised their earlier forecast and expect it to cross $1bn by the end of next week.
