"Pirates of the Caribbean : Dead Man's Chest" went ahead the foreign box office with sales of $7.6 million from 36 territories, according to Reuters.

That makes it the fourth-biggest abroad movie ever, beating 2002's "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets", with $614 million.
It is considered improbable that "Dead Man's Chest" will pass the No. 2 all-time international grosser, 2003's "The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King", with $756 million, or the reigning overseas champ, 1997's "Titanic", with $1.244 billion. The film was best sold in Italy .

"World Trade Center" was No. 2 for the weekend. It expanded its international exposure from one to 11 markets for an estimated $6.1 million. Oliver Stone's September 11 drama stands at $8.1 million thanks to France , where it grossed an estimated $2.6 million.

The comedy "Little Man" took No. 3. It grossed an estimated $5 million from 31 markets, lifting its abroad total to $29.6 million.

The film No. 4 was "Cars". It listed an estimated $4.7 million from 27 territories in its 15th weekend internationally. The cartoon earned $200.1 million.

"You, Me and Dupree" was No.5 with $4.4 million from 24 markets, lifting its overseas total to $36.3 million.
