Superman’s weakness may be kryptonite, but he may have another one – pirates.

“Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest” not only raked in gold in its opening weekend at the box office, but it has also set a couple of records.

The Johnny Depp flick took in $132 million, making it number one for the weekend, and also the highest grossing opening weekend since “Spiderman” in 2002, the Associated Press reports.

It also set a record on Friday for the highest grossing opening day since “Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith” last year. And, to add to all of that, the film also took in more money than the 12 films below it.

“Superman Returns” was in second place, taking in only $21.85 million ? over 50 per cent less than its opening weekend last weekend. “The Devil Wears Prada” was number three, taking in $15.6 million.

The rest of the top 10 were: “Click” at number four with $12 million; “Cars” at number five with $10.3 million; the Jack Black flick “Nacho Libre” was sixth with $3.3 million; “The Lake House” at seventh with $2.8 million; “The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift” was eighth with $2.5 million; “Waist Deep” was ninth with $1.9 million; and “The Break-Up” rounded out the top 10 with $1.6 million.
