'Pirates of the Caribbean 4' passes $1 billion!

They did it again! Walt Disney has a reason to celebrate because its "Pirates Of The Caribbean: On Stranger Tides" passed the $1 billion mark this weekend. Yep, the fourth film in the ridiculously profitable franchise lifted its global box office gross to $1,008.9 billion.

While "On Stranger Tides" only bagged $234.2 million domestically, the Johnny Depp adventure generated $774.7 million overseas. For Disney, it's a huge success, considering they developed this film with a budget smaller than that of its predecessor.

Additionally, "Tides" is now the second film of the series to cross $1 billion. "Pirates of the Caribbean:
Dead Man's Chest" did it as well, earning $1,066.1 million total during its theatrical run. What does this mean? Get ready for more Captain Jack action...
