LOS ANGELES- anchor "Pirates of the Caribbean: on Stranger tides" weighed with 346.4 million in ticket sales in its first week worldwide release and set a record as the biggest debut film never outside North Americafunction studio estimates Sunday.


The fourth opus of the series of Walt Disney Co - his first 3D blockbuster - dug 90.1 million of his Treasury of ticketing from Friday to Sunday in the United States and the Canada only, a figure at the lower end of the projections.


By comparison, two previous "Pirates" suites each increased by well over 100 million in their first three days at the Canada.


But the last adventure of "Pirates" looted 256.3 million in overseas receipts exceed "Harry Potter and the half-blood 2009 Prince" as international film high weighting of opening of all time, Disney said.


Altogether, "on the tides of the Stranger" has collected approximately 346.4 million worldwide - domestic and abroad - in its first week. To mark the fourth largest global opening ever, behind "Harry potter" film 2009, "Spider-Man 3 and tale last"Pirates"Disney,"end of the world.""


The overall count included a record $ 16.7 million reported projections on giant-format of approximately 400 screens IMAX Corp. everywhere in the world, said Imax.


Definition of sailing with poor reviews, but little competition in American and Canadian classrooms 4,155, "on the Stranger tides" ends its weekend opening as the greatest debut at North American cinema so far this year. It exceeded the $ 86.2 million reported by thriller fireball "Fast five" at the end of April.


The most recent "Pirates" back in his signature role pairs adventure: Captain Jack Sparrow with the winner of the Oscar Penelope Cruz, a newcomer in the franchise star Johnny Depp. The film also plays a different winner of the Academy and "Pirates" veteran, Geoffrey Rush, along with Ian McShane, making his first appearance as beard black.


The comedy "Bridesmaids" ranking a distant No. 2 in its second weekend at the U.S. box office with 21.1 million of dollars, but retains an impressive 80 percent of its activities from the previous week.


Finish among the top five were dramatic super hero Marvel "Thor," Box-Office 15.5 million in its third weekend, "Fast five" with $ 10.6 million in its fourth weekend, and the animated 3D "Rio" with $ 4.7 million in its sixth.


Woody Allen last offer, "Midnight in Paris," receiving critical acclaim and a warm welcome to the Cannes Film Festival, was able to break the top 12 with nearly $579,000 has reported only six cinemas, the first weekend in North America.


A robust performance "Pirates" was considered critical to Disney after the failures of its highly promoted but poorly attended of animation film "March a need of moms" in March, which slipped to the bottom of its revenue tax studio in the second quarter.


High occurrences overseas for "On Stranger tides," including about $ 53 million, collectively in emerging markets such as the Russia, the India and China over the weekend emphasized the growing importance of international trade in the studios.


"In the context of the ticket's world, it's a total winner," said ticketing analyst Paul Dergarabedian of Hollywood.com says "pirates".


Yet, "on the Stranger tides" had received debut posted at the Canada by each of the first suites of two "Pirates" - 135,6 million in 2006 for "Secret of the cursed trunk" and $ 114.7 million a year later to "at the end of the world.".


The first film in the franchise, "Pirates of the Caribbean: the curse of the Black Pearl," reported $ 46.6 million to the country the first weekend in 2003.


Poor reviews never lower than commercial projection for "On Stranger tides" in North America that aid compared with the last two films "Pirates" perhaps more to do with a general softness in the current market. Some momentum also may have been lost in the four years between "Pirates 3" and the new film.


With the arrival of "the tides of the Stranger", the franchise together now has a more theatrical revenues collectively $ 3 billion in the world, Disney said.
