The Pirates Of The Caribbean Pop-Up movie channel is available in HD to Foxtel Movies and Foxtel Platinum subscribers on Channel 400 or streamed on Foxtel Now.

Elizabeth is the daughter of the Governor (Jonathan Pryce) and has been kidnapped by the feared Captain Barbossa (Geoffrey Rush). Little do they know, but the fierce and clever Barbossa, along with his large crew, are under an ancient curse, doomed for eternity to neither live, nor die. That is, unless a blood sacrifice is made.
Pirates Of The Caribbean: Dead Manâs Chest (2006): Captain Jack Sparrow is reminded he owes a debt to Davy Jones (Bill Nighy) who captains the Flying Dutchman, a ghostly ship with a crew from hell. Facing the âlockerâ, Jack must find the heart of Davy Jones but to save himself he needs the help of quick-witted Will Turner and Elizabeth Swann. If thatâs not complicated enough, Will and Elizabeth are sentenced to hang, unless Will can get Jackâs enchanted compass and hand it over to Lord Cutler Beckett (Tom Hollander).
Pirates Of The Caribbean: At Worldâs End (2007): Lord Cutler Beckett, now with control of Davy Jonesâ heart, forms a dark alliance with him in order to rule the seas and wipe out the last of the Pirates.

Pirates Of The Caribbean: On Stranger Tides (2011): Captain Jack Sparrow crosses paths with a beautiful woman from his past Angelica (Penelope Cruz), and heâs not sure if itâs love â or if sheâs a ruthless con artist whoâs using him to find the fabled Fountain of Youth. When she forces him aboard the Queen Anneâs Revenge, the ship of the formidable Pirate Captain Blackbeard (Ian McShane), Jack finds himself on an unexpected adventure in which he doesnât know who to fear more: Blackbeard or Angelica.
Pirates Of The Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales (2017): Captain Jack Sparrow finds the winds of ill-fortune blowing even more strongly when deadly ghost pirates led by his old nemesis, the terrifying Captain Salazar (Javier Bardam), escape from the Devilâs Triangle, determined to kill every pirate at sea.

Thatâs good timing. Foxtel has unlocked the Platinum package on Foxtel Go for ten days. Iâll get to continue to avoid Tom Cruise movies considering the trial ends the day this pop up channel starts. Havenât seen one since the first Mission Impossible movie was released in 1996.

Ergh 
I canât get over that name FoxFlicks, seeing as we already have a broadcast FTA channel with an uncanny similar name? The brainstormers at Foxtel thought long and hard, with 0% chance of influence there, didnât they.
Why just on GO & not for the normal TV Box channels also? 
Incentive to get people to try out the new Foxtel Go now that it has undergone a major overhaul?
