I guess I may have started an interest for seeing the 3rd and eagerly awaited film in the POTC films, which opens Friday, May 25, during C4. It will be playing at the famous El Capitan Theater in Hollywood. Keep checking their website for tickets to go on sale:
http://disney.go.com/disneypictures/el_capitan/tickets.html
This was brought up in the Costuming & Props section...
http://boards.theforce.net/costuming_and_props/b10019/12694756/p3
....and there was talk of going either to a midnight Thursday show or Friday night (depending on the programming schedule for C4). I know there will be people in costume for this. Anyone here included? I know there are people already planning a trip to Disneyland during the week of C4 as well.

I'll go see the POTC3 at that theater barring what the schedule for CIV is going to be.
In the other forum message post they referred to getting VIP tickets. Obviously the cost extra but do they give you preferred seating? What do they give you other than food and drink. What is the crowd going to be there? Do we have to be there at 9:00pm to make sure we get in? If alot of people are going to go we should set up a meeting spot at the LACC or something.

Yeah, I'm gonna wait until I see what's up with C-IV. Somehow, I think I'll probably be waiting to see the movie until after LOL.
Just FYI - if you can spring for a reserved seat then you don't have to worry about standing in any long lines -- probably a good thing after a day at C-IV! Yeah, they're more money, but so much easier. Also, the balcony at the El Cap is a great place to sit. Only negative is the seats in the front row of the balcony -- there is no legroom! Really, I think there's way less than you get with an airline seat. So, be advised if you kinda like to stretch out and cross your legs. Other than that, it's a beautiful theater.
Tickets will go fast, obviously, so you might want to sign up as a member to get the advance notice.

Too bad we can't reserve the balcony as a group. That would be aweseome. You can do that at one of the theaters here in Baltimore and it's nice.

Yes, the VIP AKA reserved seats are more expensive (I have paid $25, depending on the flick). For that you get a a numbered seat you can order online, popcorn and a drink. (See my other message for more info.)
If you do not have a reserved seat but you have a ticket, you will need to be there around 3:00 PM if you want a really good seat. I'm not kidding. For POTC2 I was in line at 3, and I wasn't even the first (think I was about four people in). This was of course for the first showing, at Midnight.
It is a fairly quick Metro ride from the 7th Street Metro station downtown to the Hollywood & Highland stop, right across the street from the El Cap. Leave early and go see Graumann's Chinese Theatre, which is also "right there." Or leave extra early and eat at Hamburger Hamlet, a few doors down from the El Cap, where George was having dinner when he realized that SW was the success it was going to be.
Of course other theaters will be showing the movie, this will not be the only place to see it! But it is probably the easiest to get to on the Metro. If someone you know at C-IV has a car, the Burbank or Pasadena theaters are also very nice. You will still need to order your ticket online and get there extra-early, because they don't have any reserved seating. Friends that went to Burbank for POTC2 got there at 3 PM, and they were about 20 people in.

Val, I heard a rumor that Hamburger Hamlet had closed? Is there any truth to that?

My goodness, you are right! I just checked the L.A. Eater blog, and they confirmed it. That is terrible. Well, another restaurant will go in there, but it won't be the same. Oh, the horror!

When I saw POTC: DMC at the El Capitan, there were pirate performers outside the theater, entertaining the crowd. Inside, the employees were dressed up, and the whole theater was decorated to the hilt, including a Jack Sparrow from Disneyland. Inside the theater itself, there was a pirate playing the large pipe organ, and the side balconies had cannons that went off before the movie started. As the lights went down, the theater screen changed from a pirate map to translucent, revelaing the flaming skull logo, with skeletons hanging in cages, with thunder and lightning effects!
After the movie, you go through the lobby and downstairs, where they had costumes and props from the movie! Finally, in true Disney fashiion, you end up in the gift shop to stock up on your pirate booty!

This is one event I am adament about attending during my trip in LA. I'm assuming there will be a midnight showing at the El Capitan? I didn't see one listed for Bridge to Terabethia. I'm going to call Disney today and see what I can find out and I've set the El Capitan as my homepage so I'll know the second pirates tickets go on sale.

Yep, closed on January 8. Sad to see a little bit of the SW mythology disappear.

I would hope that they would have a a midnight showing. I think that would be the best time to go, I don't think there will be much happening at CIV at midnight. That is unless they are going to be playing the movies every night like they did for CIII. Then that would be difficult, see a Star Wars movie with a bunch of fans and alot of "audience participation" or go see POTC3. Obviously, I would lean more towards Star Wars.

I'm sure they'll have a Midnight showing. The problem is that unless you're able to get one of the VIP tickets, you will have to be in line very early to get a decent seat (unless you like sitting in the front row -- some people do!). Which means you'll miss activities at C-IV.

Yeah if I can't get VIP tickets, I won't go, at least not on that day. I'm not spending an entire day in LA sitting in line, especially on a con day.
