:cool1:

We are trying to decide when to go. DS has a baseball tourney this weekend and I am thinking it will be more like Sunday before we get to go. I can hardly stand it. Can't wait to see Orlando Bloom and Johnny Depp!!!!

Glad to hear a positive review. Would hate to be disappointed.

Thanks for the post.

We've got tickets to the 8pm showing tonight and we can't wait. We hardly if ever see a movie on its opening day but have to for this one.

[Tink33]

I have tickets for the whole family plus my Mom, Dad, Brother and his girlfriend. I will be wearing my pirate t-shirt and the button I received from Disneyland on premiere night. Don't tell on me but I am sneaking in the special edition Pirate M&Ms. :rolleyes1 We will still spend a fortune on popcorn and drinks for all.

[DLcastmbr]

see it wanderful movie it was everything it is stuffed with jam packed action comedy, drama, edge of your seat twists and turns. The movie will leave u going dont stop there! Go see it you definantly wont regret it

[CalGal]

We'll be seeing it in 7 short hours! I'm just thrilled that my DS wanted to go to a movie with me. He tried to talk me into the midnight showing, but I just couldn't...

[JenDisneylandlver]

Cool! Were thinking about seeing it Sunday night, in DTD. Since were not going in to the park the day we arrive. But I don't know, we'll probably all be so tired after the 10 hour drive, we might fall asleep in a dark room! popcorn:: pirate:

[Harmony]

Took my 11y/o son to the midnight show last night. He is still talking about it! :)

It was a great movie! There were many people dressed like pirates. LOL Gotta love them! :)

[iceskatejen]

Just got back from seeing it this morning. It was AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! But now I can't wait for POTC 3.

[eargal]

To those who have seen it...

My just turned 5 year old son wants to go. He loves action movies and has never really had typical kid's tastes in films but this one looks like it might be too scarry. He really loved the first one because it combined two of his true loves (pirates and skelatons). The previews for the new movie look a lot more intense though. Should I make him wait?

[Alex2kMommy]

My DS5 likes adventure kind of movies, too, and wants a pirate theme for his 6th birthday next month. (I'm trying to think 'pirate cute' rather than 'pirate creepy', and probably not tie-ins with the movie.) I know he would love to see the new Pirates movie, but it's just not gonna happen. I just think that in a dark theater with the loud volume and huge screen, anything scary would be too intense.

Sometimes we'll watch a movie and think he could see it once it comes out on DVD: Small screen, and he's snuggled in with one of us for anything a bit scary. I don't know if this movie will be something we'll let him see at age 6 or make him wait several years. I think we even have the first one on DVD, I guess I should watch that one again and see what we think...

[iceskatejen]

It had it's scary moments. There was one where everyone in the theater jumped. There were lots of kids, but most were in the 7-8 and up range. I didn't hear any of them crying or anything.

[DVC Mary]

Here's a link to a review I wrote w/ how we handled going to see this w/ my DS who is 6. Warning it may have some minor spoilers. I tried to write it carefully to help those w/ young kids be ready before seeing it.

We have been looking forward to this movie for months. I can't believe that we all forgot about it opening today! Thanks for the post and I'm so glad you gave it a positive review! popcorn::

[Ginarella]

I wanted to see the Midnight showing but instead our family saw it tonight at around 4:45pm CA time.

I was so excited to see this movie since I was at the premiere June 24. It was full of laughter, great visual effects, and a lot of pirate action!! Arrhhh Savvy pirate:

Some dialogues were hard for me to understand. "Tia Dalma" is one of them. You have to pay close attention what she is saying.

If any of you have Starz network TV, there is a behind the scenes look from POTC2. I watched it right after the movie was over. I recorded it from my DVR.
You may want to check your local listings and your cable programming.

Can't wait for POTC3!! pirate:

[Mary Jo]

We saw the 11:15pm one at Downtown Disney - it was pretty crowded, and we had a fun audience.

I groaned at the end of the movie ----- we have to wait a year before we see #3!

[arliepooh68]

the special affects were amazing!!! we can't wait for the 3rd now. . . how many scenes related to the ride did everyone catch??

[victorandbellasmom]

We finaly saw it last night and it was great. At the end of the movie, we got up to leave when our movie theatre neighbors told us there was a scene after the credits. We waited for the credits (a really long wait) and lo and behold there it was. DO NOT LEAVE BEFORE ALL THE CREDITS HAVE FINISHED.

Thanks for the tip! My boyfriend and I are watching it in 2 hrs.!! I can't wait!!!!

[Mary Jo]

We figured there'd be something.

My dd & her friend Awwwwwwww lol

[Harmony]

Can someone email me and tell me what the scene at the end of the credits is about???? PRETTY PLEASE!!!!! I left as soon as it ended. It was almost 3am and I had to get up early the next morning but the thought did cross my mind that *maybe* there was an extra scene.

[CalGal]

I went to a 7 PM showing, which naturally was sold out and very festive (lots of pirates). I'd guess at least 30% of the audience hung around to watch the credits and extra scene. Many had learned from Pirates I (so check out your DVDs if you've never seen the extra scene from the first). What a fun time!

PS -- I sent you a PM Harmony...

[Razor Roman]

Awesome flick! I caught an 11:30 PM showing last night in the giant AMC in Hamilton NJ... if anyone has been to the AMC at DTD in WDW it is the exact same theater... the 4 largest screens all were showing POTC, with showtimes at 10, 10:30, 11 and 11:30 - all 4 sold out!

I saw on the Drudge report that it was the largest opening ever - the link was to box office mojo, and their site was down. Must be all those pirate fans!

[disneyfreak75]

I saw the 8 pm show last night. a friend convinced me to buy the tickets the day before and to show up an hour early. I thought i would be okay since this theatre isn't normally as busy and there were shows every 1/2 hour. We got to the theatre 1 1/4 hours early and the show was sold out and there was a line up! So glad she pressured me!

The movie was awesome! We were told by someone coming out of the show to stay until the end of the credits. it was a long wait for a short clip but kinda funny....

I am now watching the first POTC!!

[MissKIA]

Grrrr, I didn't stay for the sclip after the credits either! Can someone pretty please pm me too and let me know what I missed?

As far as the movie goes, we tried to get in last night but it was sold out so we went today at noon. We liked it, but I liked the first one better.

[eatmypixiedust]

I just watched Pirates at a local AMC theatre and it was awesome! My boyfriend and I stayed till the end to catch that clip (the credits were sooooo long and we both thought it would never end! LOL!)

We caught the 11:30am show and when we came out there were 2 HUGE lines waiting to watch the 3pm show. pirate:

I think it is when they first go visit tia there is a swamp like the bayou with the fireflies.

Also, the drownding mayor when they are in tortouga

thats all i caught.

[kidsister]

I saw it last night.
Liked it.
Loved Capt Jack and Will.
Thought Davy Jones' face was really cool.

Didn't like it as much as the first movie...but of course that movie was PERFECT and it is hard to beat perfection!!!

Thought the first one was a wee bit funnier too, with more Depp-asides.
But this was plenty good, and of course I'll have to see it again before it comes out on DVD!!!

Don't touch my dirt!!! pirate:

[two-foxes]

Okay, so I am the only one that didn't LOVE it??? It was a long two and half hour set up for #3, and that is all. Okay, so Orlando looks amazing ( :love: :love: ) and Johnny fabulous yet again, but the content...ummm, well, it just didn't stand on it's own. Some amazing scenes, special effects, but I actually contemplated leaving during the middle of it...I was bored (except when dear Orlando was on screen ;) ) I will see it again with DH when he returns from overseas...hopefully I will like it better the second time around.

[CalGal]

Have read that the movie shattered the 1-day record (previously owned by SWIII-Revenge of the Sith) bringing in $55M in receipts. It's expected to beat out Spiderman for the highest ever opening weekend take. Way to go!

I loved it, but in part because I knew that nothing could quite compare to the first time I saw Jack.

[poochie]

I too left the movie before the credits were over. My DH always like to leave immediately to beat the crowd in the parking lot. LOL like that happened it was a mob scene coming and going. Can someone please PM me the scence at the end of the credits. pirate:

Thank you.

I PMd you the end so that it doesn't ruin it for others....

Can you send me a PM too? We waited until the very end of the credits and the STUPID movie theatre turned it off!!! I was pretty sure there would be something!!! STUPID MOVIE THEATRE!!!

[iceskatejen]

Can you PM me too? I had to go to the bathroom way too badly to sit through the credits. I didn't know about the extra scene on POTC 1 either--might have to pop in the dvd tonight.

I hadn't seen the one from the 1st movie either so I watched it the next day.

I can sure understand that. I made a special point of hitting the ladies room just before showtime since I knew it was going to be a long movie. Do make a point of watching Pirates I extra scene.

(I PMed you, stacielee & poochie).

Got it! Thanks! It doesn't seem to me like it will have anything to do with the 3rd movie, but who knows?? I did go back and watch the after-credits scene from the 1st movie. It made the monkey part make sense ;)

[arliepooh68]

I too left, well not really left as we packed up the vehicle as we saw it at the drive in, which BTW was really cool cuz superman was at the other one and there were 6 cars for superman and all you could hear at one point were a bunch of ARGGS. .

anyway, can someone send me as well what I missed??? Thanks!

[CalGal]

Don't get too stressed if you missed the extra scene. It's just a cute little snippet. arliepooh68, I'll PM you a copy of what I sent some of the other posters.

Read this off the internet a bit ago:

Johnny Depp's boozy, woozy buccaneer Jack Sparrow has plundered the box office, with "Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest" taking in a record $132 million in its first three days, according to studio estimates Sunday.

Disney's swashbuckling sequel sailed past the previous all-time best debut, 2002's "Spider-Man," which took in $114.8 million in its first weekend.

[arliepooh68]

thanks for the PMs!!! It is kind of funny as it ended we had all said hmmm wonder about this particular "thing" so that was cute to find that out!
