    BEIJING, June 14 -- 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.
