Summer Box Office: Pirates of the Caribbean 3

After a very fun original and rather dull sequel, the surprise hit/cult film is releasing its (hopefully) final installment this summer. As overrated as I think the saga is, it has excellent marketing. It is what Spider-Man should have done. It releases its sequel a few years after the original, then releases the third installment just before the cult dies down. This is sure to be the box-office hit of 2007, unless there is some rare phenomenon and The Simpsons Movie, Spider-Man 3, Shrek 3 or Harry Potter 5 beats it.

My Excitement Factor: 4.5/10
U.S. Box Office Prediction: $350-450 Million

I don't understand some of the negativity towards Dead Man's Chest. I thought it delivered. Oh well. Pirates 3 will take the box office by storm and it will most definitely be this summer's winner at making money.
