Pirates of the Caribbean: At World¹s End (Buena Vista) raked in a total of $126.5 million during its four-day opening weekend, and while that figure doesn’t top Pirates 2’s $135.6 million last July, it still manages to destroy the Memorial Day weekend record set by X-Men: The Last Stand (Fox) last year ($122.9 million). Both the Spider-Man and Shrek trequels managed to beat out their predecessors during their opening weekends. Excluding the Thursday previews, At World’s End pulled in $112.5 million during its debut weekend; we’ll have to wait to see what kind of stamina it’ll have. Shrek the Third (Paramount/DreamWorks) and Spider-Man 3 (Sony) rounded out the top three, while the Judd/Connick Jr. thriller Bug (Lion’s Gate) grabbed the number four spot. Waitress (Fox Searchlight) was sitting in the twelfth spot last week and climbed up to fifth in its fourth week of release. Disturbia (Paramount/DreamWorks) is still holding a spot in the top ten after seven weeks. Foreign releases Paprika (Sony Pictures Classics), Angel-A (Sony Pictures Classics), and The Golden Door (Miramax) didn’t make the top twenty.

And now for this week’s top ten.
