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

while Dead Men Tell No Tales ranks as the lowest grossing Pirates film, there’s still an appetite for Captain Jack Sparrow’s 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.

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

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.

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)

Sick and tried of CGI BS and Tom Cruise.

Do something else, find new talent.

” The Mummy opened overseas to $140-million, giving it a total worldwide gross opening weekend of $172-million.”
“This earns back the film’s $125-million budget, before marketing costs.”

Nonsense. The box-office take is split with the theaters. Only about half of the domestic box-office gross take goes to the movie company (and substantially less than that in foreign markets).

I wonder what the box office proceeds would be of a film of Hillary live on election night from 8:30 to 11:00?

Talk about girl power.
