     BEIJING, May 26 (Xinhuanet) --"Pirates(海盗) of the Caribbean 4" has achieved the second highest-grossing weekend opening ever for an imported film in China, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

    The latest installment¹, entitled "On Stranger Tides", opened on May 20 and raked in 142.1 million yuan (21.9 million U.S. dollars) over the following weekend, beating the previous No. 2 holder², "Transformers 2", and ranking below "Avatar", a spokesman for Walt Disney Company was quoted as saying on Tuesday, May 24.
