LOS ANGELES (AFP) — The third "Pirates of the Caribbean" movie clung to the top of the North American box office, plundering 44.2 million dollars on its second weekend of release, industry figures showed Monday.

The Pirates' takings were down sharply on the movie's 126.5-million-dollar opening run the previous holiday weekend, giving it 217.5 million dollars overall from its first 12 days, said the full weekend tally from industry tracker Exhibitor Relations.

The figure for takings from the Canadian and United States box offices represented a 61 percent drop from the previous weekend when the movie launched, the California-based firm said.
