"Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides" $400 million in less than one week

Disney's "Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides" jumped the $400 million mark at the worldwide box office on Tuesday, in less than a week in release. That's faster than any other film this year.


From director Rob Marshall, "On Stranger Tides" has grossed a massive $310.8 million overseas, three times the $104.4 million it has earned in North America. The movie's total gross through Tuesday was $415.2 million.

The 3D film has done especially well in territories including China and Russia.

Universal's "Fast Five" remains the top grossing film of 2011 at the global box office, and is the only movie to have grossed north of $500 million (pic's total through Tuesday was north of $520 million). Twentieth Century Fox's 3D cartoon "Rio" is next up, grossing north of $450 million through Tuesday.

Paramount and Marvel Studios' "Thor" also was expected to have jumped the $400 million mark on Tuesday.
