August 21, 2006 — Frank Segers reports "In its seventh consecutive weekend as the top-grossing film internationally, the Walt Disney Co.'s "Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest" continues to notch significant records, becoming Disney's biggest release of all time, the 12th highest-grossing title ever released abroad and the industry's sixth-ranked worldwide hit of all time. With a weekend estimate of $25.5 million from 6,222 screens in 51 territories, "Dead Man's Chest" pushed its international gross total to $522.7 million. Its worldwide cume stands at $923.8 million, pushing it above the $866.9 million worldwide gross of Disney's previous record holder, 2003's "Finding Nemo." "Dead Man's Chest's" boxoffice momentum is such that the title bounced from being the industry's No. 12 all-time hit globally last weekend to No. 6."
