Today on TV: What is Pirates of the Caribbean 5 about?
In Pirates of the Caribbean 5: Salazar’s Revenge, Captain Jack Sparrow (Johnny Depp) has to deal with an old acquaintance: Captain Salazar (Javier Bardem). The latter has escaped the shoals of the Bermuda Triangle together with his crew, which consists of a horde of wild ghost pirates. Now the devilish sailor wants to single-handedly finish off every pirate who is up to mischief in the seven seas. And Jack Sparrow is at the top of his list for personal reasons.
The massive budget of Pirates of the Caribbean 5 and why that makes it far from the most expensive film in the series
Curse of the Caribbean 5 is said to have cost between 230 and 320 million US dollars. The information diverge and probably the truth lies in the middle. But even with a budget of 230 million US dollars, as Box Office Mojo records it , Pirates of the Caribbean 5 would rank among the most expensive films ever. And two films in the series were even more expensive.
When is Pirates of the Caribbean 6 coming?
Unfortunately, things are not good for the Pirates of the Caribbean series. The movies, as you can see above, are expensive and their revenue is not as reliable as it was in the 00s. In addition, Parts 4 and 5 at the latest lacked sparkling ideas to keep the story fresh. The ongoing discussions about the face of the series, Johnny Depp, certainly didn’t help the development of new films either.
