So if you were to ask me in 1997 what the biggest grossing movie opening of all time would be as of July 10, 2006. I would guess the following all before I said a pirate movie starting Johnny Depp:

A) A movie where Jim Carrey as a sports agent is transformed and believes he is a parakeet.
B) A romantic comedy starting Sandra Bullock and Nicolas Cage where they confuse suitcases at a convention of travel agents.
C) Michael Douglas is a CIA agent who is trying to escape from London as he is followed by rogue CIA agent Samuel L. Jackson
D) A computer generated movie about the inner workings of a colony of slugs who live in an amusement park (Voices by Hal Holbrook and Richard Jeni and Tom Selleck's Agent)
E) A documentary about the Spanish influence in modern Ninja's (Directed by A gent from Stockholm)
F) Jerry McGuire II (He stops being an Agent and becomes a dispacter for a limo service in Walla Walla
G) A rerelease of Groundhog Day (at the advise of Bill Murray's Agent)

Just a note, in 1997 I was obsessed with Agents. Not any particular type, just any person who acted as a representative of interests of other people. It is something that interests me to this day, although my curiousity has subsided greatly, as I learned that there was more to being an agent then walking into rooms and making Renee Zellwiger cry or helping grandparents book trips to Scottsdale for a week.
