I mean, they really, really, really love the damn things. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Johnny Depp’s sequel to his “Pirates of the Caribbean” movie, “Dead Man’s Chest”, has become the highest selling DVD in the UK, ever. And it’s only been one week! Released to the market in November 20, “Dead Man’s Chest” has already sold a whopping 1.5 million DVDs. Hell, I didn’t even know there were 1.5 million people in all of the UK! Normally I would say the Brits are just loving hometown girl Keira Knightley in the flick, but since Keira and Orlando Bloom basically had cameos next to Johnny Depp, the special effects, and squid pirates, I’m gonna go with Brits just lovin’ pirate bootie.
