I think the ship has sailed on this franchise. Overseas box office will probably be decent, but I have a feeling this will be one of the bigger bombs this summer compared to their budget.

I think movie buffs like us may be over this series but there are still plenty of teen/early 20s girls who still love Captain Jack Sparrow. This might not break records but it'll do just fine.

And while I may not go to the theater to see this I'll definitely rent it when it comes out.

Won't be as bad as King Arthur. I am curious, who will win the box office between Johnny Depp or The Rock. Being a 3 day weekend, I'll probably see both.

imo, it will be this, and it won't even be close. You have to remember an entire generation of kids grew up watching these movies, if they were 6 or 7 when the first came out they're now in their 20s and there's another generation behind them. Add that to the group that made the first movies popular that are still into them, and the broad appeal, and it should clean up pretty well, even if that means only a $200m domestic box office.

Additionally, six years is a long time between movies, far enough to remove the stink of a couple bad entries while reviving any fondness still around from the original.

It's Disney, and this is one of their biggest franchises, so not in the least is this done. Perhaps a reboot of sorts, but it's far from over. And it will be successful. Compared to the first 3? Maybe not, but it won't bomb.

This was seemed okay. At any rate, I may or may not watch this in the theater.

Did Disney ever pay the ransom on this or is there somewhere I can benefit of them not doing so?

I had hopes this would be a "return to form" for the series, I guess not.

But not long enough for people to forget headlines of Johnny Depp beating his wife.

Maybe the current 33% on RT will help put butts in seats

Opening over Memorial Day weekend will for sure help, but I bet this movie drops out of the top 5 after three weeks.

Well, with Wonder Woman opening a week later, The Mummy a week after that and Cars 3 a week after that (not to mention a few other new openers), looks likely.

Return to form? Isn't the first one the only good movie on this series. This is more like the norm

I suppose, I actually liked the first two sequels to some extent, even though they had some issues. Both were better then the very forgettable On Stranger Tides.

Probably right because of the rating (Baywatch being Rated R) but everything you just mentioned about age can also go to The Rock and those who watched the original Baywatch. I mean, has The Rock came out in a movie that didn't do well lately? And I doubt many forget the stink of the Pirates films, if they stunk to you (you being a general you)

I think I only ever saw the first two of these and I only really watched them because my friend wanted me to go to the sequel with him so I watched the first either the night before or the day I went to the second. Never really got that into them but I've never been a huge fan of Depp.

I will be seeing this Thursday night for sure. Seeing the first one in theatres is still one of my favorite movie experiences. I like that they are atleast trying to tie it in with the Turners. Also... it has Kaya Scodelario...

Reviews are at 35%: https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/pir..._tell_no_tales

While I don't like the movies past #1, I will say At Worlds End had some sublimely trippy visuals.

I really wish they didn't ruin the KK and Paul cameos.

Maybe it was because my expectations were very low after the reviews (my local guy gave it an F), I enjoyed this quite a bit, as did the people I was with.

I agree that the cameos would have been better off as a surprise.

Re: Pirates of the Carribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales (2017, Sandberg & Ronning) S: D

For obvious reasons, Dead Men reminded me of CotBP. Although I did not see that in a theater, every acquaintance, friend, and family member did. Wasn't a fan of Depp and thought the idea of movie based on a theme ride wasn't going to work. When several of us got together for a movie night get-togethers, one of them brought the DVD.

Changed my mind.

At any rate, I give Dead Men a solid A. Without spoiling anything, I really I liked the way it ended for Jack Sparrow this time around. He seemed to be getting the short end of the stick at the end of the other films.

Only two things I can complain about. 1) Unlike the other Pirate films... and excepting the big chase thru town sequence, they showed a lot less of the rest of the (Caribbean) world (and cast) around them. 2) The missing crew members that made it through all the other movies. Particularly the wonky eye guy and his buddy... I know the buddy actor is a semi semi-regular (playing Grumpy) in Once Upon a Time, but with both being Disney productions I got to wonder why he at least wasn't in Dead Men. They managed to include the two silly British deserters... who brought a lot less humor and history to the story. Dead Men seems a smaller picture all around.

Do wonder about the last after-the-credits scenes. Is the franchise going to continue... and in a different direction?

I think the crew member with the wonky eye and his buddy were absent from "On Stranger Tides" as well.

I think people on these movie sites often forget about this. If Hollywood listened to folks on sites like this they'd miss out on billions of dollars every year because they didn't make whatever movie sequel "movie buffs" look down on. It's called the "Movie INDUSTRY" for a reason. $$$$$

So estimates say it's made in $77 mil US, $300 worldwide - on the first weekend. May not have sea legs to continue past Wonder Woman, but that's a damn good first weekend pull. Rotten Tomatoes has this at 32%, but 75% audience score. So his could continue to make good money for the next few weeks, especially based on word of mouth saying it's better than expected.
