Easy to compete overseas when the competition is 'Bollywood'.

while Dead Men Tell No Tales ranks as the lowest grossing Pirates film, theres still an appetite for Captain Jack Sparrows antics overseas and Disney likely will proceed to set sail with a sixth Pirates. On of the marketing trailers I saw billed it as "the last Pirates of the Caribbean movie."
They said it was the last one.

I saw that too, its never the LAST Pirates movie, not with the theme park rides, merch etc...
Just like the Rolling Stones 'farewell tours' to try and sell more tickets

“Domestic ticket sales terrible? Quick, pump up overseas showings! They’re falling? Push DVD sales!”
Thus it is with the movie PR pitch.

They said it was the last one.
And every Final Fantasy game claims to be the last one, right there in the title.

I guess we will see. I actually liked this last Pirates movie better than the previous 3.
As near as I can tell "Pirates" just got crappier and crappier after the first one, which was a masterpiece.

It would be nice if people would stop lying to us in order to sell their products.

I just don't think Depp is an international star outside of being in a pirate costume. Plus the stuff about throwing phones at his girlfriends (allegedly)
I don't think yiou can build another franchinse around him

I’d hoped The Mummy was going to be a better experience than was warned. Sadly, the pundits are right on - it’s awful.
I recommend paying attention to Jenny Nicholson. Here’s her Pirates lament:

Great stuff.

I liked the latest (or last?) Pirates film as well. Fell asleep during the Mummy and didn’t miss a thing...

Wonder Woman sucked and the only reason it’s a “cultural phenomenon” is because nobody will stand up and say so because GRRL POWA! The female Ghostbusters would’ve been just as much a cultural phenomenon as well if it hadn’t been so horribly awful (it still holds nearly as high a rating as Wonder Woman on rotten tomatoes)

The latest pirates movie isn’t bad - it has its moments - but it’s nowhere near as good as the first and gets a bit dull at times in between the fantastic action sequences. But certainly better than the last one.

Hey now. Not all of Bollywood is that kind of stuff. There’s some really good material in that genre, and Bollywood is huge.
