Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest” led the foreign box office for the 11th time in 12 weekends Sunday with estimated sales of $7.6 million from 36 territories.

The total for the Disney swashbuckler stands at $625.6 million, making it the fourth-biggest overseas movie ever, surpassing 2002′s ” Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets” ($614 million). “Dead Man’s Chest” now has its sights set on the No. 3 title, 2001′s “Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone” ($658 million).

 

 

With its phenomenally successful overseas rollout winding down, it is considered unlikely that “Dead Man’s Chest” will overtake the No. 2 all-time international grosser, 2003′s “The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King” ($756 million), or the reigning overseas champ, 1997′s “Titanic” ($1.244 billion).

The biggest territory for “Dead Man’s Chest” during the weekend was Italy, where the film absconded with an estimated $4.5 million, pushing its 12-day market total to $20 million. Its worldwide box office total stands at $1.0545 billion. [Source]
