The swashbuckler epic "Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest" has become the third film to pass $1 billion at the worldwide box office, distributor Walt Disney Co.
said on Saturday.
The film starring Johnny Depp had sold $1.003 billion worth of tickets as of Friday, the company said in a statement.
But it was unlikely to climb any higher up the rankings.
"Titanic," released in 1997, holds the record with $1.8 billion, followed by 2003's "Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King" with $1.1 billion.
"Pirates," which has ruled the foreign box office for the last nine weekends, enters its final major market, Italy, on Wednesday.
The first film, 2003's "Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl," earned $21 million there, and $656 million worldwide.
