Essential Thought/Question: Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales, was released at theaters May 26, 2017. This is the fifth movie in the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise. I wondered how much does it cost to make a movie like this and how much money does a movie like this typically make or profit?
One way to determine this is to look at the numbers for the first four Pirates of the Caribbean movies. The chart below gives some important statistics from the first four movies in the franchise.
