The Official Pirates of The Caribbean: World's End Thread!

[Charlie No-One]

The music in AWE was beyond fantastic. "Calypso" and "I Don't Think Now is the Best Time" are my favorite tracks.

 

[SLYspyder]

So what do you guys think of the box office? I think it'll end up at barely $300 domestic.

 

[Lord Blackbolt]

I was a little dissappointed in this one. Unlike many...I actually liked DMC...but this one.....yikes...sooooo boring. And the last battle....seemed boring. Oh wow....another ship on ship battle...we've never seen that before. And most of the time I couldnt even understand what some of the characters were saying....they're accents were sooo heavy or something. But one thing I liked was....it was way more funny than the last one...and more trippy ...which I liked.

I hope DE's getting paid for all his hard work.

I agree I feel the score was much fuller and improved especially over the first movie. Remember the score for the first one was most likely done rushed at the last minute since it had to replace Alan Silvestri I believe.

I actually love the theme of "Hoist The Colors" and how it mixed in with the film score at times.

Official: Pirates 3 Earns $404M in 6 Days Worldwide

Disney's blockbuster hit, Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End, from producer Jerry Bruckheimer and director Gore Verbinski, earned an unprecedented 6-day opening tally of $404 million, it was announced today by Mark Zoradi, president of Walt Disney Studios Motion Picture Marketing and Distribution. The film exceeded the weekend estimates with its 6-day final cume, and surpassed the previous opening record of $382 million set by Spider-Man 3 just a few weeks ago.

Domestically, "At World's End" claimed a new milestone with the all-time biggest four-day gross for a Memorial Day (or any holiday) weekend. The film grossed $139.8 million over the four-day holiday period (Friday through Monday) and boosted its cume to a swashbuckling $153 million.

Adding to its status as a box office phenomenon in 102 international territories (on an unprecedented 17,500 screens), Disney's latest "Pirates" adventure sailed into the record books with its opening gross (through Monday) of $251 million. The film posted record-breaking industry openings in 17 territories: Argentina, Ecuador, Holland, Iceland, Israel, Japan, Korea, Latvia, Malaysia, Norway, Panama, Russia, Slovenia, Spain, Taiwan, Ukraine and Venezuela. Through Monday, May 28, the film continues to set Walt Disney Studios records in such countries as the U.K. ($34.5 million), Germany ($22.9 million), France ($22 million), Korea ($19.3 million), Japan ($18.4 million), Russia ($15.4 million), Spain ($13.2 million), Australia ($10.5 million), and a consolidated Latin American regional gross of $22.9 million. "Pirates" still has a few markets yet to open including China and India.

Commenting on the announcement, Zoradi said, "'Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End' is truly becoming a cultural phenomenon all over the world and the global box office returns have continued to exceed our expectations and estimates. We're delighted that audiences everywhere are enjoying this epic adventure and clearly spreading the word. Jerry Bruckheimer and Gore Verbinski, along with the spectacular cast headed by Johnny Depp, have delivered a motion picture experience that thrills and satisfies on so many levels. We're ecstatic with this record-setting opening and have tremendous expectations for a long and profitable run."

`Pirates' Opening Booty: $404M Worldwide

"Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End" ruled the seven seas with a record $139.8 million domestically over the long Memorial Day weekend, lifting its worldwide total to $404 million.

The third "Pirates" film starring Johnny Depp as boozy buccaneer Jack Sparrow surpassed the four-day mark of $122.9 million for last year's "X-Men: The Last Stand," the previous record-holder for a Memorial Day weekend.

"At World's End" raised its domestic gross to $153 million since debuting with Thursday night preview screenings. Overseas, the movie has added an additional $251 million since the sequel began rolling out overseas last Wednesday.

The franchise failed to snatch back the three-day weekend record it lost to this month's "Spider-Man 3," whose $151.1 million debut eclipsed the $135.6 million mark for last summer's "Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest."

I actually love the theme of "Hoist The Colors" and how it mixed in with the film score at times.

Yes, I heard it again during the Brethren Court, and at least one of the other tracks.

I read that it was originally written before they started writing the score for DMC. It was written by Gore Verbinski and Hans Zimmer, and Ted Elliott and Terry Rossio wrote the lyrics. An early version of the song was recorded in Zimmer's studio and featured Keira Knightley, Kevin McNally, and Hans' wife Suzanne. Apparently, there was a lot of wine consumed the night they recorded it.

I think the lyrics fit in with the whole Calypso story, a little bit. Just the beginning part about how they "bound the Queen in her bones."

The soundtrack is amazing, I've been listening to it all day. t:

 

[Apollo]

i still havent seen it yet, but want to soon

 

[Darth Elektra]

"Hoist the Colours" and "The Brethern Court" are both great.

I didn't catch this until the second viewing. That the song was about Calyspo and the first Brethren court. And the whole song itself was a call to reconvene the Brethren court.

I also got why Beckett said "finally," when hearing the song. He knew what the song meant, that it was a call for the pirates to unite and make their final stand so he could eliminate them all at once.

To me it just reinforces the feeling I had from the second movie that Beckett was a scalawag pirate himself at one point and was in cahoots with Jack Sparrow.

 

[Venomfan]

i dont know about anyone elses theaters, but at mine they are showing spidey on 2 screens, shrek on 2 screens, and pirates on only one. i thought that was kind of odd

 

[Venomfan]

I love the soundtrack, like DE said if you like the first two, you're like this, it also reminds of King Arthur soundtrack (don't no if anyone has it, part from me, lol), well it is the same composer, so...lol

King Arthur has a great soundtrack, had to order it cuz no stores seem to carry it. and yah i definatly picked up on what sounded like almost the same music at some parts, but then again the music from the Pirates movies have always been rehashed themes from other Zimmer scored movies. have to say the electric guitar part was waaaaaaay out of place imo

 

[TheVileOne]

I actually loved the piece of music with guitar. That was like their Leone homage with that scene.

 

[Venomfan]

i didnt like the godfather line, it took me out of the movie, it didnt feel right, cuz like immediatly im thinking, wow they just stole a line from the godfather, which is ok when your parodying it or something, but when your actually serious its just kind of dumb. keira was soo hot in this though, specially at the end. the first scene with Jack and the crabs was pretty bad, mostly just because it was sooooooo long

 

[P.B.&Chocolate]

i dont know about anyone elses theaters, but at mine they are showing spidey on 2 screens, shrek on 2 screens, and pirates on only one. i thought that was kind of odd

At my local theater there are 20 screens one being exclusively IMAX.Pirates this weekend was on the 3 biggest screens . Spidey was IMAX and a regular screen ,Shrek on 2 screens .

 

[SCOTT&JEAN]

At my local theater there are 8 screens and Pirates is show at 3 of them (it has the 2 biggest)... and Spiderman 3 is only shown in one.

 

[Bastila]

I couldn't wait for this movie to end.

You didn't like it?

Soundtrack is great t: I know the words to 'Hoist the Colours' lol.
Pirates is on every hour of the day starting at 10am at our local cinema lol.
Spidey hasn't got many showings and also at our cinema you dont have to chose a seat but for Pirates you do, that is a first lol even now its still full every seat, when I saw Spidey 5 days later it wasn't that full but Pirates was still full hardly any seats.

 

[PowersOfMind]

The first time I want to see Pirates they made us stand on line to wai to be let into the theater, and they wwere checking tickets like crazy. The last time I had to do that was when I went to see Revenge of the Sith.

I wish they had gone into the history with Beckett and Jack a little more. You could see from an early scene in DMC that there was a lot more to their past than we got to see.

You can also hear the theme to "Hoist the Colors" during the "I Don't Think Now is the Right Time" track.

 

[Bastila]

You know I thought of this today

Spoiler

The sowrd Will gets stabbed with is the one he made for James remeber, James got it back in this film and loses it, Davy takes it and then stabs Will with it, so he got stabbed by his own sword poor guy lol Ironic in a way lol

Im going to see the movie again this afternoon( I love having the day off). This makes viewing # 4 Woo-Hooo!!

 

[Venomfan]

Barbossa was one of the pirate lords right?

Spoiler

that doesnt make any sense, in the first movie he was Jacks first mate who led the mutinee, why was he a first mate if he was a pirate lord?

Yes he is a lord, of the Pacific ocean. He became Capt of that ship.
