People saw At World's End 29 May, 2007, 20:05 / 5 comments

Quite a few, actually. Enough to make the movie the Memorial weekend record holder, even. Though it didn't set the opening weekend record like its predecessor did (which was recently surpassed by Spider-Man 3), the amount of loot that the film managed to pull in over four days might be described by King Andre as, an awful lot of money.

Let me be the first to say that I couldn't be more proud of LucasArts for resisting the urge to take advantage of the public's peak-high excitement for supernatural piratey adventures with a sense humor by repackaging a certain beloved and out-of-print franchise of theirs. That kind of stunt is beneath them, and it's time for the company to move beyond the IP they have.

    Just imagine it... a four-game Monkey Island Bounty Pack... it would be so beautiful (sniffs).

    They did offer something like that for a short time several years back. It was just Monkey Island Madness in a paper sleeve and CMI and EMI in jewel cases. No box. I'd settle for that though, I just want to see these games being sold by LucasArts.

    I've got a friend who wants to buy the Monkey Island games, and you know it's a damn shame when there's no reasonable way he can do that.

    No, there was a 4-game boxed pack released in Australian territories, I believe.

    Yeah there was that too, but LucasArts itself can take no credit for that. Plus that version is exceedingly rare (the box at least).
