The kraken doesn't seem to be very discriminating. After all, the first boat we see it destroy was simply in possession of Jack's hat.

The Top 214 All-Time Leaders for Biggest Drop In Second Weekend Box Office as Percentage of First Weekend Box Office.

#1 for a movie that made more than $50 million its first weekend is Hulk (40th overall) which dropped 70% the next weekend. That is powerfully bad word of mouth. #2 (72nd overall) for films over $50 million is X-Men: The Last Stand which dropped 66%. #3 (132nd) is 2 Fast 2 Furious. #4 (140th) is Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban.

If you're watching the box office game is that PotCCM will probably pass Superman Returns in overall box office after today doing in 4 days what that movie did in 12. Superman's 58% second-weekend drop will not get it onto the list above.
