G-rated movies are where the money is. But the 12-year-old sex fixation of the Producers and Directors makes them not like to do them. Can't "do lunch" on them. No prestige.

Pirate flick top opening moneymaker ever

By Donald Sensing on Movies

“Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest” has stars Johnny Depp, Orlando Bloom and Keira Knightley aarghing all the way to the bank.

With its first-three-day box standing at $132 million, it’s a new record. It also beat the first-day revenue of $50 million, set by “Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith.” “Chest” sailed by that figure with $55.5 million on opening day. And the next day “Chest” became the only movie ever to gross $100 million in just two days.

Put another way, in only three days “Chest” is only $9.5 million shy of “Superman Returns”’s total take in two weeks.

I saw Superman and thought it was outstanding. It is at one level deeply theological. I have not seen “Dead Man’s Chest” but hope to do so soon.
