- Madame Tussaud’s House of Wax in New York City is hosting a “Pirates of the Caribbean Experience“. You can find ticket information through the link above. “Step into the hull of the Black Pearl inspired by Disney’s blockbuster Pirates of the Caribbean, in cinemas now. Hear the creaking decks, smell the gruesome pirates quarters and dare to put your hand, or hook, into chests and barrels to try and find the legendary Dead Man’s Chest. Pirate Captain Jack Sparrow will be on board to help you set sail!” Too bad he’s made of wax, but it still sounds like fun. I’m not sure I want to “smell the gruesome pirates quarters”, though.

HSX now sells its results to movie studios because its forecasts are more accurate than the studios’ internal forecasts.”
