It seems I saw an national ad last night during "Dancing With the Stars" that said it was opening Thursday, evidently everywhere.

Yes, that's what this thread is about. Most theaters (including AMC at Pleasure Island) are able to release the movie at 8PM on Thursday. So when all here say "8PM showing", that is what they are referring to. Have a good time.
Incase anyne wanted to see ti Thursday at DtD Pleasure Island - all showing are sold out.

I will be heading into WDW on Friday, but I don't even want to bother with the crowds. I will wait and enjoy my WDW vacation :lol:

For places like Pleasure Island, all the 8pm shows (11 or 12?) need to finish the near 3-hour movie then clean-up and also they had alrady been selling the 12:01 shows. So, they now have most of the theaters doing then 8pm followed by the 12:01.
Elsewhere, like DL's DtD, they have staggered shows starting at 8pm until the 12:01 (again, already being presold). They're letting various other movies finish then switching the film. Pleasure Island is instead ending all of it's other film showings earlier to get all those 8pm showings.

I will not be able to see the movie this weekend 
but I was flicking the chammel around and saw some Premier footage at Disneyland and the lady host mentioned something about a 4th movie? Was she just throwing that out or is there any merit to that?
Anyway, I guess I will have to stay off these boards til I get to see the movie...:lol:

That's crazy! Knowing PI 24 like the back of my hand, I can hardly wrap my mind around the idea of 23 of those HUGE theatres being packed full of people! That means ONE film will be playing that night that ISN'T Pirates! I'm glad I have my tickets bought and picked up already.

While I'm just as excited as the rest of you, let's be a little more rational about how POTC:AWE will do. I don't think it can top Spiderman 3.
First, despite getting an extra show in at 8pm, it doesn't seem that this show will be counted in totals (they are by no means official, but boxofficemojo.com didn't count Shrek's extra shows). This means that places that moved the 12:01am show to 8pm and are now having 0 shows at midnight are lost from the totals.
Second, the movie is 28 minutes shorter than Spiderman 3. While I'm no math expert, I would imagine this amounts to 2 less showings of the film per day, PER SCREEN.
Third, while Shrek 3 and Spiderman 3 got less-than-stellar reviews, it appears PotC 3 is in for the same. While it's still early, check out Rotten Tomatoes (http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/pirates_of_the_caribbean_3/). I would normally say, "let's wait and see," but read them. They aren't giving it poor reviews for differing reasons, but rather all seem to agree that it's a long, babbling film. Doesn't make a big difference to me, but negative reviews will hurt its box office take to some degree.
Fourth, when Spiderman 3 came out, what other big films were in theaters? Wild Hogs, Meet the Robinsons? Exactly. Nothing big. Now Shrek 3 and Spiderman 3 are both out. While Spiderman 3 is sinking faster than the Titantic, most theaters will not be able to devote the shear number of screens to POTC:AWE as they did Spiderman 3.
Just my thoughts on what will happen. I hope I'm wrong. I hope this movie gets nothing but stellar reviews from here on out and breaks all records. I don't expect that, and it doesn't change what I'll think of the film, but I don't think we should base what's going on at Downtown Disney (which might hold an unrepresentative number of POTC fans) as a barometer for what will happen nationwide.
