According to Deadline, Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales is expected to make at least $230 million (and possibly upwards of $285 million) in ticket sales at the global box office during its opening weekend, with 77% of that total coming from international markets.
Disney and producer Jerry Bruckheimer’s Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales is currently expected to gross north of $230 million, during its opening at the global box office this weekend. Joachim Rønning and Espen Sandberg directed the film, with Johnny Depp once again playing the role of chief lothario and high seas grifter Captain Jack Sparrow.
Standing as Dead Men Tell No Tales‘ direct opening weekend competition, the Baywatch movie reboot from Paramount is expected to draw over $40 million over the four-day holiday.
Nevertheless, between the ongoing appeal of the Pirates brand and its widely-praised menacing turn from Oscar-winner Javier Bardem, Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales remains on course to draw a larger crowd when it makes landfall for opening weekend this Friday.
