I think what limited the three day opening was the fact that it was long.

Expect announcement for the next batch of pirates films to come shortly, though whether Johnny Depp will sign up is a different thing. He has said that he would do another only if the story was right,
 
Personally from what I've read I think we're much more likely to see Johnny than Orlando Bloom and Keira Knightley. I wouldn't be surprised if a fourth film only kept Depp and Geoffrey Rush (which is fine by me because they're both brilliant in it).
 
Me too! though I do hope the two british pirates, one who was in the Uk version of the Office would be in it. You know the one with the wooden eye.

I loved them in it.....

And you have to have Monkey Jack.....
 
I totally agree with you. I sawit on Saturday and was not impressed. Its pretty the same as the last two with a carry on in the story line.

If like pirate fights, cannons and boats then go for it.

I just hope they dont make a fourth!

6/10:yawn:
 
Yes, it is v.long but I saw it the other day and it is my fav out of the three. The story continues and it's great!
