Disney chooses Memorial Day weekend 2007 to launch PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN 3!

Breaking from the tradition of early July release dates for their PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN saga, Disney has chosen May 25, 2007 for the release of part 3 of the trilogy. Memorial Day weekend in the U.S. is traditionally a time of extremely heavy movie attendance. By staking claim to that date so early–an aggressive marketing move–Disney may scare away other major competitors, who might not wish to battle Captain Jack Sparrow head-on. Thanks to Shadow and emma for the news. You can read more details on the Zone’s News & Views forum.

Just a reminder: the release date for part 2, PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN: DEAD MAN’S CHEST, is July 7, 2006.
