Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales (released in some countries as Pirates of the Caribbean: Salazar's Revenge) is a 2017 American swashbucklerfantasy film, the fifth installment in the Pirates of the Caribbean film series and the sequel to On Stranger Tides (2011). The film is directed by Joachim Rønning and Espen Sandberg from a script by Jeff Nathanson, with Jerry Bruckheimer serving again as producer. Johnny Depp, Kevin McNally and Geoffrey Rush reprise their roles as Jack Sparrow, Joshamee Gibbs and Hector Barbossa, respectively, and are joined in the cast by Javier Bardem, Brenton Thwaites and Kaya Scodelario.

The filmmakers cited the series' first installment, The Curse of the Black Pearl (2003), as inspiration for the script and tone of the film. Pre-production for the film started shortly before On Stranger Tides was released in early 2011, with Terry Rossio writing the initial script. In early 2013, Jeff Nathanson was hired to write a new script for the film, with Depp being involved in Nathanson's writing process. Initially planned for a 2015 release, the film was delayed to 2016 and then to 2017, after 6 years of development hell, due to script and budget issues. Principal photography started in Australia in February 2015, after the Australian government offered Disney $20 million in tax incentives, and ended in July 2015.

Dead Men Tell No Tales was released in the United States in conventional, 3D, and IMAX formats on May 26, 2017. The film received generally mixed reviews, with critics praising its visual effects and sense of fun, but criticizing it for its bloated narrative, predictability and plot holes with previous films.^[6][7] It grossed $794 million worldwide against a production budget between $230–320 million, making it one of the highest-grossing films of 2017 but the lowest total of the series since Curse of the Black Pearl.

Plot[edit]

Thirteen years after the events of 'At World's End' and three after the one day, twelve-year-old Henry Turner boards the Flying Dutchman and informs his father, Will Turner, that the curse which binds Will to the Dutchman and only permits him to step on land once a decade can be broken by the Trident of Poseidon. Henry intends to recruit Captain Jack Sparrow to help find it, but Will believes this is impossible and orders Henry to leave. Will and the Dutchman then disappear into the sea, but Henry vows to find Jack and the Trident.

Nine years later, Henry is a sailor in the British Royal Navy. The ship sails into the supernatural Devil's Triangle and stumbles upon the wreck of the Silent Mary, whose ghostly crew led by Spanish pirate-hunter Captain Salazar attack. Salazar spares Henry's life to deliver a message to Jack: Salazar is coming for him.

In Saint Martin, a young astronomer and horologist named Carina Smyth is sentenced to death for witchcraft but escapes and briefly crosses paths with Jack as he and his crew spectacularly blunder a bank robbery. Having suffered years of such bad luck, Jack's crew lose faith and abandon him. Depressed, Jack trades his magical compass for a drink. However, this betrayal of the compass frees Salazar and his crew from the Devil's Triangle. Carina learns Henry is looking for the Trident's location and offers to help him using her unknown father's diary. Carina and Jack are captured and face execution, but are saved by Henry and Jack's crew, setting sail on the Dying Gull. Carina deciphers clues that the stars will lead to an island where the Trident is hidden.

Meanwhile, Captain Barbossa hears from his pirate crew that the revived Captain Salazar has killed several pirates at sea, and learns that the Trident could lead him to a new 'treasure'. Barbossa sets off to find the Trident until Salazar and his crew appear and destroy Barbossa's fleet. Barbossa manages to talk his way out of being killed by offering to help find Jack. Salazar agrees, wanting revenge on the pirate that caused his demise. Salazar pursues the Dying Gull, forcing Jack, Henry, and Carina to flee to an island, discovering that Salazar's crew cannot go on land. After saving Jack from a forced marriage, Barbossa allies himself with Jack, returning his compass and restoring the miniaturized Black Pearl, trapped in a bottle by Blackbeard, to its original size. They all continue their journey to the Trident's island, with Barbossa taking command of the Pearl once more. During the voyage, Jack and Barbossa realize Carina is the latter's long-lost daughter. Barbossa tells Jack that he had left her at an orphanage with his diary so she could live a better life, and refuses to tell her the truth so she will continue to believe her father was an astronomer.

Approaching the Trident's island, the Pearl evades a British Navy warship, which is destroyed by the Silent Mary before the Pearl runs aground on the island. Jack, Barbossa, and Carina use the island's magic to part the ocean and open a path to the Trident's location on the ocean floor. Salazar captures Henry and possesses him in order to walk on the ocean floor and seize the Trident. Once he does so, Henry is given his body back, and Jack distracts Salazar, allowing Henry to destroy the Trident, breaking all curses upon the sea and restoring Salazar's crew to life. However, the divided sea begins to collapse in on itself. The Pearl lowers its anchor to lift them to safety, but Salazar pursues them, still hell-bent on killing Jack. Carina realizes that Barbossa is her father when she spots a tattoo on his arm identical to the diary's cover. Barbossa sacrifices himself to kill Salazar, allowing the others to escape alive.

Sometime later, Henry and Carina reach Port Royal, where Will appears, free from the Dutchman. His wife, Elizabeth, appears moments later and the Turner family reunites. Henry and Carina begin a relationship as well. Jack watches from the Pearl in faux-disgust before sailing away into the horizon, having been accepted by his crew as their captain once again.

In a post-credits scene, Will and Elizabeth sleep in their bed together, when their room is intruded by Davy Jones. Just as Jones raises a claw to attack them, Will awakens and finds that the room is empty. Assuming Jones' appearance to be a nightmare, Will goes back to sleep, oblivious to the presence of a trace of wet barnacles on the floor.

Cast[edit]

• Johnny Depp as Captain Jack Sparrow:^[8]
  The former Captain of the Black Pearl who travels with Henry and Carina in search of the Trident of Poseidon. Ronning wanted to focus on relatable characters, as in the first film, 'where Jack is not the [lead .. but] comes in and crashes the party every now and then,'^[9] and to make use of Depp's 'comedic genius'.^[10] The film examines Jack's backstory, with the young Jack portrayed by Anthony De La Torre,^[11] whose face was replaced by a CGI replica of Depp as he looked in 21 Jump Street and What's Eating Gilbert Grape.^[12] Rønning felt de-aging Depp was tricky against the canon of the franchise.^[13]
• Javier Bardem as Captain Armando Salazar:
  The undead Captain of the Silent Mary who seeks revenge on Jack Sparrow and attempts to steal the Trident of Poseidon to kill every pirate at sea. Bardem set out to imbue the character with 'a rage based on dented pride,' owing to his spectacular fall, from a high-ranking commander of a Spanish fleet to being betrayed and trapped in hell by Jack.^[14] With Salazar's body language, he tried to convey a bull in an arena, 'full of rage and need of vengeance, but also wounded.'^[15] It took three hours a day to apply the make-up, which Bardem referred to as having 'cold chicken breasts' glued to his face.^[16]
• Geoffrey Rush as Captain Hector Barbossa:^[17]
  Sparrow's rival and the Captain of the Queen Anne's Revenge, who is secretly Carina's biological father. Barbossa has become extremely wealthy since the previous film, with Rush referring to him as a 'corporate pirate,' having amassed a fleet of ships under his command and encrusted his peg-leg with jewels.^[18]
• Brenton Thwaites as Henry Turner:^[19][1]
  The son of Will Turner and Elizabeth Swann who vows to break his father's curse by searching for the Trident. The directors were keen to draft a new protagonist relationship with Henry and Carina, stating that 'in the middle of a big action scene, you need to be able to lean on the characters and find the heart of that story, and channel the characters' vulnerability.' Rønning noted that identity is a major theme in the film, and to Henry and Carina's story arc: 'they are on a similar quest and find common ground in looking for who they are.'^[10] Lewis McGowan portrays a young Henry.^[20]
• Kaya Scodelario as Carina Smyth:^[1]
  A headstrong, altruistic astronomer who was wrongly accused of being a witch. Scodelario explained the character's motivation and role, saying, 'she is an academic, she's fighting for the right to study at university because women couldn't at that time.'^[21] For the directors, it was important to 'modernise it with Henry and Carina, Kaya, especially brought that with her. She's a modern woman.'^[9] Scodelario worked with scriptwriter Jeff Nathanson to ensure the character was unique to the series^[14] and not a copy of Elizabeth Swann.^[22] She said that female characters often 'fall into two camps; they are either pretty and perfectly put together or completely insane. Carina has definitely got a little bit of both.'^[14]
• Kevin McNally as Joshamee Gibbs:^[1]
  Captain Jack's loyal friend and first mate.
• David Wenham as Lieutenant John Scarfield:
  The second antagonist of the film and a British Royal Navy officer, who commands HMS Essex.^[23]
• Golshifteh Farahani as Shansa:^[1]
  A sea-witch and ally of Captain Barbossa.
• Stephen Graham as Scrum:^[1]
  A member of Jack Sparrow's crew and former member of Blackbeard's crew.
• Martin Klebba as Marty:^[24]
  A member of Jack Sparrow's crew.
• Giles New and Angus Barnett as Murtogg and Mullroy:
  Former Royal Marines turned pirates, who serve Barbossa's crew on board the Queen Anne's Revenge.^[24]
• Orlando Bloom as Will Turner:
  A blacksmith-turned-pirate who was transformed into the Captain of the Flying Dutchman at the end of Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End. Speaking in late 2014 about his possible return to the franchise, Bloom stated that he would like to portray a character outside of his usual role types as a good-looking hero, alluding to the make-up requirements for Davy Jones.^[25]

Additionally, Keira Knightley briefly appears at the end in a non-speaking role as Elizabeth Swann,^[26] Will's wife and Henry's mother. Adam Brown, Danny Kirrane, and Delroy Atkinson appear as members of Jack's crew, and in the prison scene, Paul McCartney briefly appears as Jack's paternal uncle, Uncle Jack.^[27][28][29] Alexander Scheer plays a young Captain Edward Teague in a flashback sequence. A silhouette of Davy Jones, one of the series' former villains, is seen in the post-credits scene, but actor Bill Nighy had stated that he was not informed about the character's appearance.^[30] Pablo and Chiquita reprised their role as Jack the Monkey.

Production[edit]

Development[edit]

Shortly before the release of On Stranger Tides in 2011, the cast and crew of the fourth film were told to set aside time in the near future, because Walt Disney Pictures intended to shoot a fifth and sixth film back-to-back.^[31] However, it was later stated that only a fifth film was in the works. Terry Rossio wrote a script for a fifth film without his partner Ted Elliott.^[32]Rob Marshall was rumoured to return to direct,^[33] but declined after choosing to direct Into the Woods^[34] (2014),^[35] a Disney project starring Johnny Depp. After Marshall passed on the film, many directors were rumored to take over, including Gore Verbinski, who was responsible for the original three films.^[36] Verbinski ultimately passed on the project, feeling that 'there's no reason other than financial' in making the film.^[37] The eventual shortlist included Fredrik Bond, Rupert Sanders, and the eventual choice, Norwegian film duo Joachim Rønning and Espen Sandberg.^[38] The studio chose them based on their Academy Award-nominated high-sea film Kon-Tiki, and their ability to work with a limited budget.^[39]

Rossio's script draft was ultimately rejected, and the writer stated that a major reason was its use of a female villain, which made actor Johnny Depp 'worried that would be redundant to Dark Shadows, which also featured a female villain.'^[40] In January 2013, Disney hired Jeff Nathanson to work on a script.^[41] Rønning and Sandberg said they were particularly moved by Nathanson's 'funny and touching' script,^[42] which convinced them to sign to direct in May,^[43] Rønning believing that the script was 'all there' but needed scenes to 'carry the tradition of Gore Verbinski, bring the emotional core and big action set pieces.'^[10] In August, Rønning and Sandberg revealed that the title would be Dead Men Tell No Tales.^[44] However, the following month producer Jerry Bruckheimer said, 'We have an outline everyone loves but the script is not done,' explaining that the release would be postponed beyond summer 2015.^[39] The studio questioned Depp's bankability following the financial losses of The Lone Ranger in 2013,^[45] and the screenplay's first drafts were not approved by Walt Disney Studios chairman Alan Horn, who was concerned about the finished product.^[46] Bruckheimer revealed that script and budget issues were behind the delay, and that Nathanson was at work on a second draft, based on a well-received outline, saying they needed a script and budget everyone would approve.^[39] Depp was also invited to collaborate on the script, with the actor believing it would be the last of the franchise and wanting to end it right.^[47] After the script was accepted, the film was officially green-lit by Disney in July 2014, with a planned release on July 7, 2017.^[48]

The directors were inspired by the first film, The Curse of the Black Pearl,^[42] stating that the original is thrilling but above all a comedy with heart, and wanted to reinvent the 'structure and the dynamics between the characters.' In addition to recapturing the best of previous franchise installments, the directors had the works of Charlie Chaplin and Buster Keaton in mind when crafting the tone of the film.^[10] The pair wanted the film to be the 'most emotional' of the series, and to explore the roots of Jack Sparrow.^[49] They decided to use Jack's compass as the 'key to unlock Salazar from his hellish prison in the Triangle,' and toned down some of the fantastic elements 'to ground it, even in Pirates Of The Caribbean [sic].'^[50] Geoffrey Rush argued that the pair brought 'Euro sensibility to traditional Hollywood franchise thinking,'^[51] while Orlando Bloom believed that they had 'recaptured the simplicity and charm' of the original film.^[52]Kaya Scodelario said that the producers wanted to take the franchise back to its origins, with a story that gave characters a conclusion while opening new possibilities.^[53] Along with the directors and writers, many of the crew members were new to the franchise, replacing those who had served on the previous four films, with the exception of Bruckheimer, costume designer Penny Rose, and executive producer Chad Oman.^[1][54]

Casting[edit]

Speaking at the On Stranger Tides press launch in Cannes, Depp said he would play the role so long as it is popular with the public.^[55] In August 2012, news surfaced that Depp had signed for the fifth film, earning A$90,000,000 to reprise his role.^[8] One month later, Penélope Cruz stated that in spite of her enjoying playing Angelica in On Stranger Tides, she had not been contacted regarding a fifth film.^[56]Geoffrey Rush had commented on returning as Hector Barbossa in the fifth installment, saying 'If they keep shapeshifting this character, absolutely,' and implied that he might return as the villain.^[57] In December 2014, Rush confirmed his return for the fifth installment, with Barbossa and Jack being 'at the heart of it and there's a whole new set of story lines.'^[17] In late 2011, about four years after choosing not to return for the fourth installment, Orlando Bloom stated that he would like to return for a fifth film, if offered.^[58] Several weeks after Disney officially green-lit the film, Bloom stated that there were 'discussions' about his return to the franchise in September 2014.^[59] Bloom further commented in December 2014, saying that while he was not sure whether he would return, there were talks. He also indicated that Disney could make a soft reboot with the franchise and focus on Will Turner and his son.^[25] Bloom's participation was kept secret until the Disney D23 in 2015, after filming had wrapped.^[60] Once the filmmakers started working with Bloom, they decided that they needed to reunite the character with his wife, Elizabeth. To ensure that Keira Knightley could reprise this role, the production moved for a one-day shoot in London, where she was working.^[50]

On December 2, 2013, it was reported that Christoph Waltz was in talks to appear as the film's main antagonist,^[61] but he later declined. The villain was eventually portrayed by Cruz's husband, Javier Bardem.^[62] In 2014, Bardem signed on to portray Armando Salazar, who in early scripts was referred to as Captain John Brand.^[1] Bardem had liked the working environment of the fourth movie, which he witnessed accompanying his wife, and stated he was also a fan of the franchise and of Depp's performance as Jack Sparrow.^[63] Australian actor Brenton Thwaites entered talks for the role of Henry in late November 2014,^[64] after Disney chose him over Taron Egerton, George MacKay, Mitchell Hope, Ansel Elgort and Sam Keeley.^[65]

Kaya Scodelario was chosen as the female lead out of a shortlist that included Gabriella Wilde, Alexandra Dowling, Jenna Thiam, and Lucy Boynton.^[66] Her character, Carina, is an astronomer accused of being a witch. Scodelario confirmed that she was playing 'a totally different character' from Elizabeth Swann, and also that she will be Henry's love interest,^[22][67] given in earlier drafts she was envisioned as a love interest of Sparrow.^[68]Kevin McNally confirmed his return as Joshamee Gibbs in late January.^[24] Shortly after on-location pre-production opened in Australia, Disney issued a casting call to local agents for actors from all ages and experience levels to apply for roles, and as extras in the upcoming film, with casting also open in the US.^[69]Adam Brown, Delroy Atkinson, and Danny Kirrane were revealed as cast members shortly before filming.^[27] As filming begun, two actors from the previous films were confirmed to return, Martin Klebba as Marty^[70] and Stephen Graham as Scrum.^[71] Director Joachim Rønning's two children appear in the film as extras.^[72]Keith Richards expressed interest in reprising his role as Captain Teague,^[73] but was unavailable, leading Depp to invite Paul McCartney into appearing as Jack Sparrow's uncle (also named Jack).^[74]

Other actors had expressed interest in reprising their roles from the previous films, such as Tia Dalma portrayer Naomie Harris,^[75] and Greg Ellis, even if his character Theodore Groves appeared to die in the previous film.^[76] Both Lee Arenberg and Mackenzie Crook commented on the possibility of returning as Pintel and Ragetti.^[77] In an interview on November 7, 2014, Crook confirmed that he had received a call of availability from Disney for the film,^[78] though he later declined in order to focus on his television series Detectorists.^[79] He said he had felt 'pangs of nostalgia' when the cast and crew filmed without him.^[80] Arenberg, who also had a television commitment, to Once Upon a Time, added that he felt like the producers 'weren't really trying to court us like they really wanted us.'^[81]

Filming[edit]

Directors Joachim Rønning and Espen Sandberg originally stated that shooting would take place in Puerto Rico and New Orleans,^[82] and Bruckheimer had previously mentioned that there might be a sequence in Louisiana.^[83] However, a spokesman for Australian Arts Minister George Brandis confirmed that the fifth installment was set to shoot exclusively in Australia, after the government agreed to repurpose $20 million of tax incentives, originally intended for the remake of 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea; thus edging out Mexico and South Africa as filming locations.^[84] According to Australian film industry sources, on location pre-production started in late September 2014, and its cost was set at around $250 million.^[85] Filming took place exclusively in Queensland, Australia, as the largest production to ever shoot in the country. Village Roadshow Studios and the Whitsunday Islands were officially confirmed as filming locations.^[86] On January 1, 2015, The Rainbow Gypsy, a 15-year-old replica of an 1897 Scottish bawley, underwent an extensive refit at the Gold Coast, including a new bowsprit, and reconfigured decks and cabins, for filming as the Dying Gull. Its captain and owner, Kit Woodward, was a rigger on the film.^[87]

Filming commenced on February 17, 2015.^[1] Ship scenes were filmed in front of a giant outdoor greenscreen in Helensvale,^[88] while a film set in the form of a village was built in Maudsland.^[89] Because the greenscreens' height blocked the sunlight, containers with inflatable bluescreens mounted on top were added to the set to allow some light to enter.^[90] While an initial draft of the script featured six ships, the end product had eleven vessels; to cut costs, most of these were partial constructs later enhanced by computer graphics, with some built atop a hydraulic rig to mimic the movement of seafaring while on land. The camera crew, led by director of photography Paul Cameron, also made extensive use of drones, to capture immersive views at sea without resorting to aerial footage or cranes.^[12][91]

Filming moved to Doug Jennings Park on The Spit from March 30 to June 15 for water-bound scenes.^[92] However, due to extreme sea sickness among the cast and crew from the 'big swells,' filming moved to Raby Bay for calmer waters.^[93][94] Scenes were shot at Byron Bay on June 1. Locals made up more than 75 percent of the 850-plus crew then working on the film.^[95] After much speculation about whether Orlando Bloom would return, Bloom arrived at the Gold Coast in late May to reprise his role as Will Turner.^[96][97] Scenes featuring a skeleton of a sperm whale that had been constructed were shot at Hastings Point from June 21 to 23.^[98]

A number of issues and controversies set back the film during its production. The biosecurity laws in Australia posed problems regarding the capuchin monkeys that portray Hector Barbossa's pet monkey Jack, because the animals are regarded as a category 1 pest and call for strict requirements and a 30-day quarantine.^[99] Further controversy erupted from animal rights activist groups, who urged Federal Environment Minister Greg Hunt to reject the entry application, arguing that the long air-flight would affect their health, and that their performance was unnatural and would create demand for illegal wildlife trade.^[100] One of the monkeys caused further disruption when it wandered off set at Movie World, and bit the ear of a make-up artist on another production.^[101] Crew and cast members were forced to cover the camera lenses on all mobile phones with duct tape to prevent the film from being pirated before its release. To prevent fans from interfering with the production, secret filming locations used the production name of 'Herschel' to hide the fact it was the fifth Pirates of the Caribbean film.^[102] Following the attempt of an armed man trying to bypass security, the already tight security was increased.^[103]

On March 10, 2015, Depp was injured off set and had to be flown to the United States for surgery.^[104] Due to his absence, filming stalled completely and 200 crew members were forced to stand down for two weeks, after finishing all they could do without Depp.^[105] Filming was set to resume 'on or about April 20,'^[106] and Depp returned to set on April 21.^[107] In June, Kaya Scodelario was injured on set along with a stuntman.^[108] In early July, dismantling of the sets at The Spit had begun.^[109] Most of the cast and crew had finished on July 8, and a wrap party was held on July 11.^[110] Filming then moved to the Whitsundays for the final shots.^[109][111] On July 21, 2015, Rønning announced that filming had wrapped after a 95-day shoot.^[112] After nearly a year in post-production, reshoots and additional photography were conducted in Vancouver, Canada from March 24 to April 13, 2016, under the production title 'Herschel Additional Photography.'^[113]

Music[edit]

Pirates Of The Caribbean Dead Man's Chest Cast

This was the first film in the series that Hans Zimmer did not compose the music for. Instead, the main composer is one of his protégés, Geoff Zanelli, who had worked on the previous four installments in the franchise.^[114] Zanelli said that Zimmer 'redefined the sound of the entire genre' and considered it a great accomplishment to have worked with him and Bruckheimer. He used this experience with the franchise to build a new sound for the film.^[114] He stated that 'you don't have to modernize the melodies, those are timeless,' citing one example of how he tried to make the sound more modern by featuring an electric cello to create a menacing leitmotif for Salazar.^[115] This was also the first Pirates of the Caribbean score to feature mostly live percussion, as opposed to the programmed percussion in the prior scores. As it took more than a year for the film to start production following Zanelli being hired, he accompanied the script's evolution, and was familiar with the character arcs that he would need to translate in their theme songs. Zanelli always started writing the music on the piano, namely a synthesized orchestra.^[116] The film's soundtrack was released on May 26, 2017.^[117]

Post-production[edit]

Work on the film concluded on April 19, 2017.^[118] Editing was a collaboration between Roger Barton and Leigh Folsom Boyd, with the latter detailing that 'Roger started from the beginning of the film and I started from the end, and we kind of met in the middle.' Boyd added that it was the longest post-production process she was ever involved with, as Disney wanted to give 'the support and leeway we needed to tell the story and allow for the complex visual effects to bake.'^[119] The editors worked closely with the previsualization team to, according to effects supervisor Gary Brozenich, 'give meat to the bones of the plates that needed effects explanation as well as any new CG beats that would be added later.' Along with the post-production team in Los Angeles, Brozenich had to split his time going to the UK and Montreal, to check on the eight companies handling the film's 2,000 visual effects shots, with 150 of them consisting only of computer graphics. The primary vendor was Brozenich's own employer Moving Picture Company (MPC).^[90][120] Among MPC's work were Salazar's undead pirates, whose on-set footage was mostly replaced by CGI to achieve missing body parts and floating hair and clothing. Brozenich stated that what was kept of the original actors was 'their run, gait and faces.' To provide reference for the floating parts, which were meant to resemble a perpetual drowning state, a stuntman in full costume and wig was filmed underwater in a swimming pool performing various actions.^[12]

Atomic Fiction handled the scenes at St. Martin, turning the few blocks of buildings built on set into more than 600 CG buildings, surrounded by a jungle environment. The work combined references from both the Caribbean and Thailand, and enhanced through CGI both the guillotine on which Jack Sparrow is nearly executed and the bank from the heist scene; the bank was meant to look as if its foundations were dug through the ground instead of sliding on the surface.^[121] Along with sea footage filmed in both the Australian sets and Key West, Florida, there was extensive usage of water simulations, with the artists using the Beaufort scale to ensure the waves and wind realistically matched.^[90]

Release[edit]

Dead Men Tell No Tales had its world premiere at the Shanghai Disney Resort on May 11, 2017.^[2] In several countries, including the United Kingdom, the film was released as Pirates of the Caribbean: Salazar's Revenge,^[122] a decision that the directors were not informed about.^[50] It was released at cinemas in Italy^[123] and Norway on May 24,^[124] and in the United States, Canada, and China on May 26.^[125] It is the first Hollywood feature to be released in the United States for the new panorama-like ScreenX format, which played in two locations in the U.S.—CGV Buena Park and CGV Cinemas—both in Los Angeles, California. Additionally, it played in 81 screens at select theaters in Korea, China, Thailand, Vietnam, Turkey and Indonesia. The film also played in 4D on 373 4DX screens worldwide.^[126] The film was released in IMAX in an expanded 1.9:1 aspect ratio.^[127] It was Disney's third wide release of the year, following Beauty and the Beast and Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2.^[128]

Shortly before release, Dead Men Tell No Tales was allegedly stolen by a group of piracy hackers, who demanded a large sum of money from Disney in order for them not to leak the unreleased film. The company refused to do so and worked with the FBI in order to uncover the identity of the group.^[129] Disney CEO Bob Iger reported that hackers did not steal their movie.^[130]

Marketing[edit]

A robust marketing effort helped promote Dead Men Tell No Tales.^[131] The film was first showcased at the Disney D23 Expo 2015, where Depp appeared in costume as Jack Sparrow and the film's logo was revealed, with Orlando Bloom confirmed to be starring in the film.^[132][133] Elizabeth Rudnick was self-confirmed to novelize the film, describing it the film as bringing back the series' initial sensibility, while returning Jack Sparrow to 'all of his swaggering glory.'^[134] A tie-in prequel expanding the backstory of the character Carina Smyth was also released, titled Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales – The Brightest Star in the North.^[135] The film was showcased at the 2016 Walt Disney Content Showcase in South Africa, where concept art, story details and on-set images were previewed.^[136]

The first teaser trailer was released on October 2, 2016, during the second season finale of AMC's Fear the Walking Dead, and showcased our main antagonist Captain Armando Salazar (Javier Bardem) who is on the hunt for Jack Sparrow (Johnny Depp), who didn't appear in the trailer, except only his image on a wanted poster.^[137] On January 27, 2017, Disney uploaded an eight-second motion poster to their official Instagram account, promoting the release of a television spot of the film during Super Bowl LI.^[138] Disney then released a 30-second television teaser at Super Bowl LI, with an extended version released online set to Johnny Cash's 'Ain't No Grave'. The trailer was considered to be the 'big' trailer of the event and was the most-viewed trailer of all the films advertised at the halftime show. A new teaser poster was released with the trailer. Both teasers received a highly positive reaction from audiences.^[139][140]The official trailer was released on March 2.^[141] Another trailer was released on March 25.^[142] The first 30-second TV spot was released on March 31. On April 21, at Disney Parks and on the four Disney cruise ships, Disney showcased a sneak peek of the film.^[143] Disney premiered a 5-minute extended sequence of the film in front of the UK release of Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2, on April 28.^[144][145]

Home media[edit]

Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales was released on digital download by Walt Disney Studios Home Entertainment on September 19, 2017, and on Blu-ray, Ultra HD Blu-ray and DVD on October 3.^[146] It was the top home-media release in its first week, with the Blu-ray version accounting for 78% of sales, and brought the previous four films back into the 25 best-sold Blu-rays.^[147]

Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales grossed $172.6 million in the United States and Canada, and $622.3 million in other territories, for a worldwide total of $794.9 million, against an estimated production budget of $230 million.^[5] It had a worldwide opening of $271.4 million from 55 markets, with $24 million coming from 1,088 IMAX screens.^[148] The film's six-day opening gross pushed the franchise gross past the $4 billion mark.^[149] Despite being the lowest-grossing film of the series in the US by nearly $70 million, the film became the highest-grossing entry of the Pirates franchise internationally when going by modern foreign-exchange rates, passing On Stranger Tides, which grossed $593.4 million at current rates.^[150] The largest-earning foreign markets were China ($172.3 million), Japan ($59.5 million), and Russia and the CIS ($40.7 million), where it was the second-highest-grossing film behind Avatar.^[151] Despite weak US totals, Deadline Hollywood noted the film would turn a net profit of around $280 million after factoring together all expenses and revenues.^[152]

North America[edit]

Dead Men Tell No Tales debuted over the four-day Memorial Day opening weekend, being released in 4,276 theaters, of which over 3,100 were 3D, taking advantage of formats such as IMAX, D-Box and 4DX.^[153] The film earned $23.4 million on its first day, including $5.5 million from previews. It was the lowest opening day of the franchise.^[154]Dead Men Tell No Tales grossed $63 million over three days, and $78.5 million over four (Friday–Monday), finishing first at the box office, ahead of Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 and fellow newcomer Baywatch.^[155][156] It was the second-smallest opening weekend of the franchise, only earning more than the first film, with each of the other installments earning at least $90 million.^[157] Despite the film registering the highest test score in the series,^[158] the opening came in well below expectations of $80–115 million.^[159][160] Analysts attributed the underperformance to negative reviews, franchise fatigue, and Johnny Depp's diminishing returns and depreciating public image, amid his personal problems. Still, it performed better than Disney's previous Memorial Day releases (Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time, Tomorrowland and Alice Through the Looking Glass),^{[161][162][163]} and studio executives said they were pleased with the movie's opening,^[149] which helped Disney push past $1 billion in the US.^[164]

The film fell by a total of 65% in its second weekend, the worst of the series, grossing $22.1 million,^[165] and finishing in third place, after newcomers Wonder Woman ($103.3 million) and Captain Underpants: The First Epic Movie ($23.9 million).^[166] It remained in the top ten for four more weeks.^[167][168]

Outside North America[edit]

Internationally, where it is marketed as Salazar's Revenge in most countries, the film was released day-and-date with its North American debut in 54 markets (91% of its total marketplace, except Japan, where it debuted on July 1).^[169] Preliminary reports had the film opening to $150–175 million, but possibly overperforming depending on major markets, most notably China.^[153][170] While its Chinese run benefited from the May 28–30 Dragon Boat Festival—a lucrative moviegoing period—and from International Children's Day (June 1),^[171][172] the 2017 Manchester Arena bombing had a deteriorating effect on certain European markets over the film's opening weekend.^[173] From Wednesday to Friday, it registered an opening of $208.8 million. Around $14 million of that came from IMAX screenings, the second-biggest international IMAX opening in May, after Captain America: Civil War.^[148] Similar to its US plunge, it earned $73.8 million in its second weekend, falling to second place, behind Wonder Woman.^[174]

It recorded the biggest opening day of the year in several markets, including Germany ($3.6 million), Austria, France ($2.3 million), Finland, Sweden, Belgium, Thailand ($400,000), Indonesia, Malaysia and the Netherlands ($900,000, the second-biggest Disney opening, behind Star Wars: The Force Awakens).^[173][175] Russia posted the biggest opening of all time with $18.4 million ($18.6 million including previews).^{[148][164][176][177]} In China, where the film had its global premiere, it earned $21.3 million on its opening day, the fourth-biggest Disney opening in the country. It had an 87% marketshare and had already surpassed the entire earnings of Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End.^[178] Earning a total of $67.9 million, it registered the third-highest three-day for any Disney title, and a much-higher opening than the US.^[148] The film did extremely well in IMAX, earning $9 million from 401 screens from Friday to early Monday bookings. The robust opening has been attributed to the Dragon Boat Festival, Depp's star power, the ubiquity of the franchise, the impact of Shanghai Disneyland Park, and good word of mouth, with a score of 7.5/10 on reviews aggregator Douban and 8.7/10 on top mobile-ticketing platform Weying.^[179][180] The film's final release market was Japan (July 1), where it opened at number one, achieving the highest-grossing opening for a Western film of the year, earning $9.25 million over the July 1–2 weekend.^[181] It retained the box office lead for one more week, and was the highest-grossing foreign film in the following weekend.^[182]

Critical response[edit]

On review aggregatorRotten Tomatoes, the film holds an approval rating of 29% based on 265 reviews, and an average rating of 4.67/10. The website's critical consensus reads, 'Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales proves that neither a change in directors nor an undead Javier Bardem is enough to drain this sinking franchise's murky bilge.'^[183] On Metacritic, the film has a weighted average score of 39 out of 100, based on 45 critics, indicating 'generally unfavorable reviews'.^[184] Audiences polled by CinemaScore gave the film an average grade of 'A−' on an A+ to F scale, while PostTrak reported filmgoers gave it an 82% overall positive score.^[157]

Mike Ryan of Uproxx criticized what he termed as a convoluted plot and overabundance of characters, resulting in a film that was 'practically incoherent.'^[185] Writing for Rolling Stone, Peter Travers called the film 'bloated, boring, repetitive and draining' and gave it one star out of four.^[186]Ignatiy Vishnevetsky of The A.V. Club wrote that the film echoes the first three of the franchise, 'in which Johnny Depp's louche and campy Jack Sparrow played second banana to an insipid love story.. the two romantic leads .. succeed only in making the shortest movie in the series seem just as long as the rest.'^[187]A. O. Scott of The New York Times said of the film, 'Its pleasures are so meager, its delight in its own inventions so forced and false, that it becomes almost the perfect opposite of entertainment.'^[188] Michael O'Sullivan of The Washington Post remarked that the film was 'loud, overstimulating and hard to take in all in one sitting.'^[189]Mick LaSalle of San Francisco Chronicle found the film to be 'a jumble of half-baked impulses' that had been forced into a played-out franchise.^[190]

Richard Roeper of Chicago Sun-Times gave the film 3 out of 4 stars, saying: 'Dead Men works well enough as a stand-alone, swashbuckling comedic spectacle, thanks to the terrific performances, some ingenious practical effects, impressive CGI and a steady diet of PG-13 dialogue peppered with not particularly sophisticated but (I have to admit) fairly funny sexual innuendo.'^[191] Pete Hammond of Deadline Hollywood praised the film, calling it 'the most entertaining installment,' and giving credit to Rønning and Sandberg for creating a 'rollicking good time'. He praised the visual effects, particularly Salazar and his crew, arguing that the film should be in line to receive an Academy Award for Visual Effects. He also gave high praise to Bardem for being able to create such a 'fully dimensional villain' under the layers of make-up and CGI, and Depp for keeping the film and franchise going.^[192] Leah Greenblatt of Entertainment Weekly gave the film a 'B', praising the fun nature of the film and its visuals and calling it 'gorgeously detailed swashbuckling nonsense,' but wished that the script had taken more risks instead of following the formula used in previous films.^[193] Ashley Esqueda of CNET gave the film a positive review, arguing that it brought the franchise back to what made its first two installments so fun, and praised Depp's performance as being 'delightful as ever.'^[194] Brian Truitt of USA Today gave the film 3 out of 4 stars, saying 'What was once a past-its-prime franchise seems to have found new life.'^[195] Mark Hughes of Forbes opined 'Dead Men Tell No Tales isn't as good as the first three films, but it's better than the fourth,' adding 'it has mostly good performances, and a couple of great ones. It has fantastic visual effects, lots of humor that works, a lighthearted feel and sense of fun, and many terrific action set pieces.'^[196]

Accolades[edit]

Sequel[edit]

On March 4, 2017, director Joachim Rønning stated that Dead Men was only the beginning of the final adventure, implying that it would not be the last film of the franchise, and that a sixth film could be released.^[198] The post-credits scene of Dead Men shows Will Turner, Elizabeth Swann, and Davy Jones.^[199] In September 2017, producer Jerry Bruckheimer indicated that another Pirates sequel is still possible if Dead Men Tell No Tales does well in its home release.^[200] In October 2017, the sixth film was confirmed and Kaya Scodelario said that she was contracted to return.^[201] Shortly after, it was announced that Rønning is being eyed to return to direct the sequel.^[202] As of August 2018, the sixth film is still in development with Terry Rossio back to writing the screenplay.^[203]

Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest is a 2006 American fantasyswashbuckler film, the second installment of the Pirates of the Caribbean film series and the sequel to Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl (2003). It was directed by Gore Verbinski, written by Ted Elliott and Terry Rossio, and produced by Jerry Bruckheimer. In the film, the wedding of Will Turner (Orlando Bloom) and Elizabeth Swann (Keira Knightley) is interrupted by Lord Cutler Beckett (Tom Hollander), who wants Turner to acquire the compass of Captain Jack Sparrow (Johnny Depp) in a bid to find the Dead Man's Chest. Sparrow discovers his debt to Davy Jones (Bill Nighy) is due.

Two sequels to Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl were conceived in 2004, with Elliott and Rossio developing a story arc that would span both films. Filming took place from February to September 2005 in Palos Verdes, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, Dominica, and The Bahamas, as well as on sets constructed at Walt Disney Studios. It was shot back-to-back with the third film of the series, At World's End.

Dead Man's Chest was released in the United States on July 7, 2006, and received mixed reviews, with praise for its special effects, action sequences, Hans Zimmer's musical score, humor, and performances, particularly those of Depp and Nighy, but criticism for its convoluted plot and running time. The film broke several records at the time, including the opening-weekend record in the United States with $136 million, the fastest film to gross over $1 billion at the worldwide box office (63 days), the highest grossing first sequel at the worldwide box office and became the highest-grossing film of 2006 and the third highest-grossing film of all time (behind Titanic and The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King).^[3] It currently ranks as the 29th highest-grossing film of all time worldwide and held the record as the highest-grossing film released by the Walt Disney Studios for nearly four years until it was surpassed by Toy Story 3 (2010). The film received Academy Award nominations for Best Art Direction, Sound Editing, Sound Mixing, and won the Academy Award for Best Visual Effects. Its sequel, At World's End, was released the following year.

Plot[edit]

The wedding of Will Turner and Elizabeth Swann is halted when Lord Cutler Beckett, chairman of the East India Trading Company, arrives with arrest warrants for them, and also for Commodore James Norrington, who allowed Captain Jack Sparrow to escape. Norrington has resigned and disappeared after losing the Navy's flagship, HMS Dauntless, in a hurricane while pursuing Jack. Meanwhile, Jack is visited by Will's father, Bootstrap Bill Turner, aboard the Black Pearl. Bootstrap is now a crewman on the Flying Dutchman, captained by Davy Jones. Jack previously bartered a deal with Jones to raise the Pearl from the depths; now Jack must join Jones' crew or be dragged to Davy Jones' Locker by the Kraken. Beckett, meanwhile, promises to free Elizabeth if Will brings him Jack's magic compass which points to whatever the holder wants most.

Will finds Jack and the crew on an island and frees them from cannibals. Shortly after, Governor Swann frees Elizabeth from jail, but he is then captured. Elizabeth bargains with Beckett to find the compass. Disguised as a cabin boy aboard a Scottish merchant vessel, she makes her way to Tortuga where she later finds Jack and also a drunken Norrington. After escaping the cannibals, Jack and the crew visit voodoo priestess Tia Dalma, who reveals Jones' weakness is his heart, which is locked within the Dead Man's Chest. Jack must find it and the key that opens it. Locating the Dutchman, Will makes a deal with Jack to find the key to the chest in return for Jack's compass. Jack tricks Will, who is shanghaied into service aboard the Dutchman. Jones agrees to release Jack from their bargain in exchange for one hundred souls. Will meets his father aboard the Dutchman and learns that Jones possesses the key to the chest. They play a game of Liar's Dice against Jones to try and win the key, but they lose. Despite this, Will escapes with the key and is taken aboard the same ship Elizabeth was on. Jones sends the Kraken after him, sinking the ship, but Will escapes.

In Tortuga, Jack hires a new crew, including Elizabeth and Norrington. With Elizabeth's use of Jack's compass, they are able to locate the chest. All parties arrive on Isla Cruces, where the chest is buried, but a three-way sword fight breaks out between Jack, Will, and Norrington, who all want the heart for their respective goals: Jack wants to call off the Kraken; Will wants to rescue his father; and Norrington wants to regain his life as a Navy officer. In the chaos, Norrington secretly steals the heart and runs off, pretending to lure away the Dutchman's crew. Jones attacks the Pearl with the Kraken, which kills most of the crew and destroys all but one of the Pearl's lifeboats, but Jack, who briefly flees the battle, returns and wounds the Kraken with a net full of gunpowder and rum.

Jack orders the survivors to abandon ship, but Elizabeth, realizing the Kraken only wants Jack, tricks him and chains him to the mast so that the crew can escape. The Kraken drags Jack and the Pearl to Davy Jones' Locker. Jones opens the chest to discover his heart is gone. In Port Royal, Norrington gives Beckett the heart and the Letters of Marque meant for Jack, allowing him back into the navy as well as allowing Beckett to gain control of Davy Jones and the seas. The Pearl's crew take shelter with Tia Dalma, where they all agree to rescue Jack. Tia Dalma introduces the captain who will guide them: the resurrected Hector Barbossa.

In a post-credits scene, the cannibalistic tribe now worships the prison dog in replacement of Jack.

• Johnny Depp as Captain Jack Sparrow: Captain of the Black Pearl. He is hunted by the Kraken because of his unpaid blood debt to Davy Jones. He is also searching for the Dead Man's Chest to free himself from Jones' servitude.
• Orlando Bloom as Will Turner: A blacksmith-turned-pirate who strikes a deal with Cutler Beckett to find Jack Sparrow and his compass so he can save both himself and his fiancée Elizabeth from execution. Later he is reunited with, and seeks to free, his father, who eventually owes a lifetime of servitude to Davy Jones.
• Keira Knightley as Elizabeth Swann: Governor Swann's daughter and Will's fiancée, who is arrested on her wedding day for helping Captain Jack Sparrow escape. Escaping jail with help from her father, she meets up with Jack in Tortuga and joins his crew to search for both Will and the chest.
• Stellan Skarsgård as 'Bootstrap Bill' Turner: A crewman aboard the Flying Dutchman who so happens to be Will Turner's father. He was cursed by the Aztecgold on Isla de Muerta (along with Hector Barbossa's crew). Thrown overboard after refusing to take part in the mutiny against Jack led by Barbossa, he spent years bound to a cannon beneath the crushing ocean. Found by Davy Jones, he swore to servitude aboard the Flying Dutchman crew and escaped death.
• Bill Nighy as Davy Jones: Captain of the Flying Dutchman. Davy Jones was once a human being. Unable to bear the pain of losing his true love, he carved out his heart and put it into the Dead Man's Chest, then buried it in a secret location. He has become a bizarre creature – part octopus, part crab, part man – and collects the souls of dead or dying sailors to serve aboard his ship for one hundred years.
• Jack Davenport as James Norrington: He resigned his commission as Commodore in the Royal Navy after losing his ship and crew in a hurricane in the pursuit of Jack Sparrow and his crew. Fallen on hard times and into alcoholism, he joins the Black Pearl's crew and seeks to regain his honor and career.
• Kevin McNally as Joshamee Gibbs: The Black Pearl's first mate and Jack Sparrow's loyal friend, he once served in the Royal Navy under Lieutenant James Norrington.
• Jonathan Pryce as Governor Weatherby Swann. Elizabeth's father and governor of Port Royal. He adores his daughter but puts little faith in Will - not considering him the best match for Elizabeth.
• Tom Hollander as Lord Cutler Beckett: Chairman of the East India Trading Company, he travels to Port Royal to capture and recruit Jack Sparrow as a privateer. What he really desires is Davy Jones' heart, with which he can rule the seas with Jones' commanded servitude.
• Lee Arenberg as Pintel: A pirate and former Black Pearl crewmember under Captain Barbossa, he was imprisoned after the Aztec curse was broken, but escaped to rejoin Jack Sparrow's Black Pearl crew.
• Mackenzie Crook as Ragetti: Pintel's inseparable crewmate. He has a wooden eye, and despite being illiterate, has begun 'reading' the Bible, with the excuse that 'you get credit for trying.'
• Naomie Harris as Tia Dalma: An obeah priestess who Jack Sparrow bartered with for his magic compass. She explains the legend of Davy Jones, in addition to owning a similar locket to his.
• Geoffrey Rush as Hector Barbossa: Barbossa's character is resurrected in the final scene of this film. Having met his demise in the previous installment, Barbossa is resurrected by the character Tia Dalma in order to save Jack Sparrow from Davy Jones' locker, therefore allowing a Brethren Court conclave in order to 'release' Calypso from her Human Bonds. For this role, Rush was uncredited.

Production[edit]

Development[edit]

Following the success of Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl (2003), the cast and crew signed on for two more sequels to be shot back-to-back,^[4] a practical decision on Disney's part to allow more time with the same cast and crew.^[5] Writer Ted Elliott and Terry Rossio decided not to make the sequels new adventures featuring the same characters, as with the Indiana Jones and James Bond series, but to retroactively turn The Curse of the Black Pearl into the first of a trilogy.^[6] They wanted to explore the reality of what would happen after Will Turner and Elizabeth Swann's embrace at the end of the first film, and initially considered the Fountain of Youth as the plot device.^[7] They settled on introducing Davy Jones, the Flying Dutchman and the Kraken. They also introduced the historical East India Trading Company, who for them represented a counterpoint to the themes of personal freedom represented by pirates.^[8]

Planning began in June 2004, and production was much larger than The Curse of the Black Pearl, which was only shot on location in St. Vincent.^[9] This time, the sequels would require fully working ships, with a working Black Pearl built over the body of an oil tanker in Bayou La Batre, Alabama. By November, the script was still unfinished as the writers did not want director Gore Verbinski and producer Jerry Bruckheimer to compromise what they had written, so Verbinski worked with James Byrkit to storyboard major sequences without need of a script, while Elliott and Rossio wrote a 'preparatory' script for the crew to use before they finished the script they were happy with. By January 2005, with rising costs and no script, Disney threatened to cancel the film, but changed their minds. The writers would accompany the crew on location, feeling that the lateness of their rewrites would improve the spontaneity of the cast's performances.^[7]

Filming[edit]

Principal photography began on February 28, 2005,^[10] in Palos Verdes, beginning with Elizabeth's ruined wedding day.^[7] The crew spent the first shooting days at Walt Disney Studios in Los Angeles, including the interiors of the Black Pearl and the Edinburgh Trader which Elizabeth stows away on,^[10] before moving to St. Vincent to shoot the scenes in Port Royal and Tortuga. Sets from the previous film were reused, having survived three hurricanes, although the main pier had to be rebuilt as it had collapsed in November. The crew had four tall ships at their disposal to populate the backgrounds, which were painted differently on each side for economy.^[5] One of the ships used was the replica of HMS Bounty used in the 1962 film adaptation of Mutiny on the Bounty.^[11][12]

On April 18, 2005,^[13] the crew began shooting at Dominica, a location Verbinski had selected as he felt it fitted the sense of remoteness he was looking for.^[7] However, this was also a problem; the Dominican government were completely unprepared for the scale of a Hollywood production, as while the 500-strong crew occupying around 90% of the roads on the island they had trouble moving around on the underdeveloped surfaces. The weather also alternated between torrential rainstorms and hot temperatures, the latter of which was made worse for the cast who had to wear period clothing. At Dominica, the sequences involving Pelegosto (Cannibal Island) and the forest segment of the battle on Isla Cruces were shot. Verbinski preferred to use practical props for the giant wheel and bone cage sequences, feeling long close-up shots would help further suspend the audience's disbelief.^[5] Dominica was also used for Tia Dalma's shack. Filming on the island concluded on May 26, 2005.^[14]

The crew moved to a small island in the Bahamas called White Cay for the beginning and end of the Isla Cruces battle,^[5] before production took a break until August, where in Los Angeles the interiors of the Flying Dutchman were shot.^[15] On September 18, 2005,^[16] the crew moved to Grand Bahama Island to shoot ship exteriors, including the working Black Pearl and Flying Dutchman. Filming there was a tumultuous period, starting with the fact that the tank had not actually been finished. The hurricane season caused many pauses in shooting, and Hurricane Wilma damaged many of the accessways and pumps, though no one was hurt nor were any of the ships destroyed.^[5] Filming completed on September 10, 2005.^[17]

Special effects[edit]

The Flying Dutchman's crew members were originally conceived by writers Ted Elliott and Terry Rossio as ghosts, but Gore Verbinski disliked this and designed them as physical creatures.^[18] Their hierarchy is reflected by how mutated they were: newcomers had low level infections which resemble rosacea, while veterans had full-blown undersea creature attributes. Verbinski wanted to keep them realistic, rejecting a character with a turtle shell, and the animators watched various David Attenborough documentaries to study the movement of sea anemones and mussels.^[19] All of the crew are computer-generated, with the exception of Stellan Skarsgård, who played 'Bootstrap' Bill Turner. Initially his prosthetics would be augmented with CGI but that was abandoned.^[20] Skarsgård spent four hours in the make-up chair and was dubbed 'Bouillabaisse' on set.^[21]

Captain Davy Jones had originally been designed with chin growths, before the designers made the move to full-blown tentacles;^[22] the skin of the character incorporates the texture of a coffee-stained Styrofoam cup among other elements. To portray Jones on set, Bill Nighy wore a motion capture tracksuit that meant the animators at Industrial Light & Magic did not have to reshoot the scene in the studio without him or on the motion capture stage. Nighy wore make-up around his eyes and mouth to splice into the computer-generated shots, but the images of his eyes and mouth were not used. Nighy only wore a prosthetic once, with blue-colored tentacles for when Will Turner (Orlando Bloom) steals the key to the Dead Man's Chest from under his 'beard' as he sleeps. To create the CG version of the character, the model was closely based on a full-body scan of Nighy, with Jones reflecting his high cheekbones. Animators studied every frame of Nighy's performance: the actor himself had blessed them by making his performance more quirky than expected, providing endless fun for them. His performance also meant new controls had to be stored. Finally, Jones' tentacles are mostly a simulation, though at times they were hand-animated when they act as limbs for the character.^[23]

The Kraken was difficult to animate as it had no real-life reference, until animation director Hal Hickel instructed the crew to watch King Kong vs. Godzilla which had a real octopus crawling over miniatures.^[24] On the set, two pipes filled with 30,000 pounds of cement were used to crash and split the Edinburgh Trader: Completing the illusion are miniature masts and falling stuntmen shot on a bluescreen stage. The scene where the Kraken spits at Jack Sparrow does not use computer-generated spit: it was real gunge thrown at Johnny Depp.^[25]

Release[edit]

Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chestpremiered at Disneyland in California on June 24, 2006. It was the first Disney film to use the new computer-generated Walt Disney Picturesproduction logo, which took a year for the studio to design.^[26]Weta Digital was responsible for the logo's final animated rendering and Mark Mancina was hired to score a new composition of 'When You Wish Upon a Star'.^[26] The main people responsible for the logo's rendering are Cyrese Parrish and Cameron Smith.

Marketing[edit]

The first trailer was attached to The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe.

Disney produced a comic book adaption in their Junior Graphic Novels: Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest (2007)^[27][28] Disney sponsored a racing yacht in the 2005 edition^[29] of the Volvo Ocean Race. The boat, aptly named Black Pearl, raced under the team name 'Pirates of the Caribbean' for the United States. The boat itself was a Volvo Open 70 class yacht designed by Farr Yacht Design. She was skippered to a 2nd-place finish by American Paul Cayard after 31,000 nm (57,000 km), divided into 9 legs, taking 8 months to complete.

Home media[edit]

The film became available on DVD on November 20, 2006 in the UK and December 5, 2006 in the US. It sold 9,498,304 units in its first week of sales (equivalent to $174,039,324). In total it sold 16,694,937 units, earning $320,871,909. It was the best-selling DVD of 2006 in terms of units sold and second in terms of sales revenue behind The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe.^[30]

The DVD contained a commentary track with the screenwriters and a gag reel, with the double-disc featuring a video of the film premiere and a number of documentaries, including a full-length documentary entitled 'According to the Plan' and eight featurettes. The film was released on Blu-ray Disc on May 22, 2007.^[31] The film had its UK Television premiere on Boxing Day 2008 on BBC One at 20:30. It was seen by 6.8 million viewers according to overnight figures.^[32]

Reception[edit]

Critical response[edit]

Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest received mixed reviews. On Rotten Tomatoes, the film has an approval rating of 53% based on 221 reviews, with an average rating of 6/10. The site's critical consensus reads, 'Gone is Depp's unpredictability and much of the humor and originality of the first movie.'^[33] At Metacritic, which assigns a weighted average rating to reviews, the film received an average score of 53 out of 100, based on 37 critics, indicating 'mixed to average reviews'.^[34] Audiences polled by CinemaScore gave the film an average grade of 'A–' on an A+ to F scale.^[35]

Michael Booth of the Denver Post gave the film three-and-a-half stars out of four, calling it 'two hours and 20 minutes of escapism that once again makes the movies safe for guilt-free fun.'^[36]Drew McWeeny compared the film to The Empire Strikes Back, and also acclaimed its darkness in its depiction of the crew of the Flying Dutchman and its cliffhanger.^[37] The completely computer-generated Davy Jones turned out to be so realistic that some reviewers mistakenly identified Nighy as wearing prosthetic makeup.^[38][39]

Slums black ops 2 pc. A. O. Scott of The New York Times said, 'You put down your money – still less than $10 in most cities – and in return you get two and a half hours of spirited swashbuckling, and Gore Verbinski has an appropriate sense of mischief, as a well as a gift, nearly equaling those of Peter Jackson and Steven Spielberg, for integrating CGI seamlessly into his cinematic compositions.'^[40] Empire magazine gave the film 3 stars saying 'Depp is once again an unmitigated joy as Captain Sparrow, delivering another eye-darting, word-slurring turn with some wonderful slapstick flourishes. Indeed, Rossio and Elliot smartly exploit these in some wonderful action set-pieces.' 'We don't get the predictable 'all friends together on the same quest' structure, and there's a surfeit of surprises, crosses and double-crosses and cheeky character beats which stay true to the original's anti-heroic sense of fun. After all, Jack Sparrow is a pirate, a bad guy in a hero's hat, a man driven by self-gain over concern for the greater good, who will run away from a fight and cheat his 'friends' without a second's thought.'^[41]Lord McLovin of MovieWeb said 'The second tale of Captain Jack Sparrow is another epic adventure!'^[42]

Paul Arendt of the BBC compared it to The Matrix Reloaded, as a complex film that merely led onto the next film.^[43] Richard George felt a 'better construct of Dead Man's Chest and At World's End would have been to take 90 minutes of Chest, mix it with all of End and then cut that film in two.'^[44] Alex Billington felt the third film 'almost makes the second film in the series obsolete or dulls it down enough that we can accept it in our trilogy DVD collections without ever watching it.'^[45]

Box office[edit]

Dead Man's Chest earned $423,315,812 in the North America and $642,863,913 in other territories, for a worldwide total of $1,066,179,725.^[2] Worldwide, it ranks as the 29th highest-grossing film, the 15th highest-grossing film distributed by Disney,^[46] the highest-grossing film of 2006, the third highest-grossing film of the 2000s, the highest-grossing film in the Pirates of the Caribbean series, the highest-grossing film to star Johnny Depp and the third highest-grossing second installment in a franchise (behind Avengers: Age of Ultron and Incredibles 2).^[47] It was the third film in history to reach the $1 billion mark worldwide, and it reached the mark in record time (63 days),^[48] a record that has since been surpassed by many films, of which the first was Avatar (in January 2010).^[49]

In North America, the film broke many records including the largest opening- and single-day gross ($55.8 million), the biggest opening-weekend gross ($135.6 million),^[50] the least time to reach $100,^[50] $200 and $300 million^[51] and the highest ten-day gross.^[52] However, most of them were broken by Spider-Man 3 in May 2007^[53] and The Dark Knight in July 2008. The film was in first place at the box office for three consecutive weekends.^[54] It closed in theaters on December 7, 2006, with a $423.3 million haul.^[55] Thus, in North America, it is the seventeenth-highest-grossing film, although, adjusted for inflation, the film ranks forty-eight. It is also the highest-grossing 2006 film,^[56] the highest-grossing Pirates of the Caribbean film,^[47] and the seventh-highest-grossing Disney film.^[57] The film sold an estimated 64,628,400 tickets in the US.^[58]

Outside North America, it is the twenty-first-highest-grossing film,^[59] the third-highest-grossing Pirates film, the eighth-highest-grossing Disney film^[60] and the highest-grossing film of 2006.^[61] It set opening-weekend records in Russia and the CIS, Ukraine, Finland, Malaysia, Singapore,^[62] Greece^[63] and Italy.^[64][65] It was on top of the box office outside North America for 9 consecutive weekends and 10 in total.^[66] It was the highest-grossing film of 2006 in Australia,^[67] Bulgaria,^[68] Germany,^[69] Japan,^[70] the Netherlands,^[71] New Zealand,^[72] Spain,^[73] Sweden^[74] and Thailand.^[75]

The film was also nominated for Best Art Direction, Sound Editing, and Sound Mixing.^[76]

The film also won a BAFTA and Satellite award for Best Visual Effects,^[77] and six awards from the Visual Effects Society.^[78]
