Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales sailed into the top spot at the box office this Memorial Day Weekend. The new film brought in a three-day total of $62.2 million and four-day holiday weekend total of $77 million.
The Pirates franchise has become a hot commodity overseas and the opening weekend numbers reflect this. The movie, which was released in select overseas countries last week, brought in a large $208.4 million for the three-day weekend. Globally, the movie is expected to gross over $300 million for the long, four-day weekend.
The $77 million Pirates is brought in stateside is lower than what film producers and Disney were anticipating. This is the lowest opening weekend for a movie in the Pirates franchise other than the original movie. The original Pirates movie brought in $46 million it’s opening weekend. The award for the highest opening of the Pirates franchise goes to Dead Man’s Chest which brought in an impressive $135.6 million it’s opening weekend.
The total cost to bring Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales to life was $230 million.
