And Just Like That, Pirates 3 Breaks Spidey's Record

No, not the first-weekend box-office feat... the number of theaters it's debuting in. Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End hits a record 4,362 screens on Friday, 110 more than carried Spider-Man 3 at that film's launch. Still, Pirates' 167-minute running time not only edges out the Idol finale, it threatens to anchor down the sequel's booty haul.

Hmm. This could be the fastest that 167 minutes have passed in history. I sure hope so.

I probably won't turn out on opening weekend for Pirates 3 like I did for Spidey 3 — I actually waited in line on a Friday night at midnight! — but I'm looking forward to this movie, Matt.
