A-harrr! Johnny Depp rules supreme on both sides of the stormy sea with the third Pirates movie, nabbing a mighty $140 million from US moviegoers alone! Mind you Shrek 3 still took a huge $67 million even in the #2 spot!

In the UK, Zodiac's doing well considering the summer blockbusters are vying for attention in the multiplexes, but I can't fathom why Lovewrecked is in the Top 10!
