Disney will release Pirates 3 a few hours early to try for the Spidey 3 box office records.

From the site: "Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End isn't going to break Spider-Man 3's record anyway. Not only is it too long at 165 minutes (Dead Man's Chest ran a slightly more manageable 150 minutes), it's also got some residual disappointment to deal with from the last movie. This may sound absurd given the last picture's $423 million domestic haul and muscular DVD sales, but Dead Man's Chest was a little too dour for some folks' tastes, and the considerably darker trailer for At World's End leads me to believe that some families might stay away on opening weekend."
