YOUR MONDAY MORNING WAKE-UP CALL

We knew the French were sneaky, but what the heck was soccer star Zinedine Zidane thinking with that bizarre overtime head bump? Well, at least he didn’t use his hands as the Italians took home their first World Cup in soccer since 1982 with a stirring penalty-kick win over Les Bleus. Now, can we get back to baseball, as the All-Star game looms and the Mets enjoy their 12-game lead in the National League at the halfway point.

PIRATES’ TREASURE: The film business got a major boost this week, as Disney’s Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest, the second in the planned trilogy, racked up $132 million for a weekend box office record, topping the $114.9 million scored by Aquaman (and the $114.8 million by Spider-Man) just two weeks ago. That’s a lot of booty, folks. Pirates also broke the single-day record when it opened Friday with ticket sales of $55.5 million, eclipsing Star Wars: Episode III Return of the Sith, which grossed $50 million when it came out May 19, 2005. The weekend's second-biggest movie, Superman Returns, grossed $21.9 million. Exhibitor Relations estimated the weekend's overall receipts at $216 million, a record three-day haul and a 45% jump from the same period in 2005. Pirates looks to be the first movie this year to score a cumulative $250 million at the U.S. box office. Disney has already targeted next Memorial Day weekend to open the third film in the trilogy, the unfinished Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End. The first film grossed $305 million in the U.S. and Canada and $654 million worldwide. Fox's comedy hit The Devil Wears Prada was #3 with $15.6 million, bringing its total to $63.7 million. Disney's Cars continued to hold up well, raising its total to $205.5 million.

THIS WEEK’S CHART: Meanwhile, the record business looks for its own Pirates, with this week’s HITS Top 50 (check the building sales chart on the site) promising one of the lowest winning totals in history, with Geffen’s Nelly Furtado album looking to return to #1, with a total of 80k, where it will battle American/Lost Highway’s posthumous, Rick Rubin-produced Johnny Cash album and Open Wide/ Monument/Columbia’s Dixie Chicks album for the top spot, with Universal Motown’s India.Arie and Def Jam/IDJ’s Rihanna also in the Top 5 mix.

KNIGHT FALL: A judge has ordered a bankruptcy trustee to take control of Death Row Records from Suge Knight, ruling that the label has been mismanaged due to accounting practices, according to a report in allhiphop.com. Judge Ellen Carroll ruled Friday that the Row’s accounting practices were in "disarray," after noting that Knight testified he hasn't reviewed financial statements in almost a decade. Knight was not present during the proceedings. According to his lawyers, Knight injured himself during a motorcycle accident and was under doctors orders to recuperate and also experienced a death in his family. Caroll, who stated that "it seems apparent there is no one at the helm,” authorized the new trustee "owners" of Death Row Records to take the assets that are left from the label and convert them into cash to pay off creditors. According to reports, the label has assets worth between $1 million and $10 million, but has more than $100 million in debts.

POLITICALLY INCORRECT: U2’s Bono, touted for a Nobel Peace Prize because of his advocacy for Third World debt relief, has come under attack from left-wingers for investing in a video game that depicts Venezuela as a banana republic led by a "power-hungry tyrant." His private equity firm reportedly invested $300 million in Pandemic Studios, the L.A.-based maker of the game, "Mercenary 2: World in Flames." Players assume the role of a mercenary sent to a fictitious Venezuela, where a dictator has seized control of the country and its oil. The gun-for-hire is instructed, "If you can see it, you can buy it, steal it, or blow the living crap out of it." Hey, it’s only a game.

NOTHING PETTY ABOUT IT: Tom Petty in Esquire on the eve of the release of his new American/WB album, Highway Companion, which is not political: "The war in Iraq is shameful. Whether you're pro or con Bush, you've got to admit it: The guy lied. And he continues to do so. I can't understand why he's just not run out on a rail. To send somebody's kids off and have them killed for no good reason — he's going to have his day in hell for that. I wouldn't want that karma. When you kill somebody's little sister with a missile, he's going to hate you forever. And the next generation will hate you even more."
