Arguably sensing how valuable the fifth film in the franchise, Dead Men Tell No Tales, is to Disney, hackers have reportedly gained access to the film about 2 weeks before its scheduled theatrical release on May 26.
Hackers claim to have access to Disney’s upcoming action adventure Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales, and threaten to release it early unless the studio pays a ransom.
Only time will tell how serious the threat is to Disney with Dead Men Tell No Tales, in what is sure to be a couple tense weeks for the studio.
If not, it will obviously create huge implications for the financial well-being of the movie industry as a whole.
