The long-anticipated blockbuster
Pirates of the Caribbean: At
World's End, finally made its debut across Chinese cinema
screens starting Tuesday.
The Star Daily reports that although the star-studded
movie did not have a good debut at the midnight premiere in
Beijing, all the tickets for the evening screenings on Tuesday have
been sold out till noon.
In addition, since Tuesday is the half price day in capital's
cinemas, Pirates has become the top choice for young
audiences, especially students.
The release company held a low profile premiere ceremony at Sun
Dong An Cinema City in the capital on Tuesday. None of the actors
in the movie came to Beijing to promote this latest Pirates
episode.
Some audience members expressed their disappointment about the
short appearance of Hong Kong star Chow Yun-fat.
Youth Daily reported that more than half of the scenes
featuring Hong Kong star Chow Yun-fat in Pirates III have
been cut for its Chinese mainland release, including his recitation
of a poem in Cantonese.
