This pirate really has found his treasure. Last summer's Pirates sequel, 'Dead Man's Chest', was the third-highest-grossing film ever, with $1.1 billion worldwide at the box office. The third Pirates sequel, 'At World's End', is on its way to at least match its predecessor. Next up for the star he plays the blood-thirsty butcher in this winter's film adaptation of 'Sweeney Todd'.
