Johnny wants his record back
After Spider-Man 3 scored the first ever $150 million weekend, Disney is getting a little more aggressive with Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End. Deadline Hollywood Daily broke the news that Pirates 3 is adding not just midnight showings, but 8 p.m. showings on Thursday, May 24. Those Thursday grosses have a nasty little habit of ending up in the weekend numbers.
Pirates 3’s 3-hour runtime is going to make it tough to last the weekend, so the move makes sense. More screenings mean more money, even if they don’t count toward the weekend.
I personally need Pirates 3 to have a big return. You see, I stupidly shorted the Spider-Man 3 stock on Hollywood Stock Exchange and lost $2 million dollars. Who would have thought it was going to make more than $125 million?
Here’s hoping for a $150 million dollar weekend for Johnny. I need to get my HSX portfolio back on track.
