May 7, 2011 – The Premiere of Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides Takes Place at Disneyland
“Ye come seekin’ adventure with salty old pirates, eh?”
On May 7, the premiere of the live-action film Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides took place at Disneyland. This premiere made history, as it was the first-ever 3D outdoor film premiere. While tickets were available for $1000 each, funds from ticket sales went directly to support the Boys & Girls Clubs of America. A limited number of park guests were able to attend the red carpet arrivals event for free, with hopes of catching a glimpse of the many celebrities invited, including the stars of the film. The “red carpet,” as it were, was a black carpet for the premiere, keeping with the dark tones of the film. The film would later be generally released on May 20th.
