Record before it opens

`Pirates' opens to record theater count (AP)

This undated photo released by Disney Enterprises shows actors Johnny Depp, left, as Jack Sparrow and Orlando Bloom in a scene from 'Pirates of Caribbean: At Worlds End.'   Pirate films are almost as old as movies themselves.  Depp defines the pirate of the new millennium with his drunken, dreadlocked scamp at the center of Disney's 'Pirates of the Caribbean' trilogy. With his flamboyant style and campy charm, Depp's Jack Sparrow is a departure from the macho swashbucklers of yore, yet with the same good looks and rebellious edge that have long made pirate films so popular.
