Over time, the “Pirates” franchise has become more reliant on overseas ticket sales, and that’s certainly the case this time out. The three-day estimate overseas is a whopping $208.4 million. Globally, the movie is expected to make $270.6 million this weekend, and over $300 million by the end of the four-day holiday weekend.
Meanwhile, Paramount’s Baywatch was hoping to make an oceanic summer splash, but looks to have ended up in the kiddie pool. The rebooted property should land a three-day total of $18.1 million from 3,647 locations and end the four-day holiday weekend with $22 million. That’s far below early estimates. The movie carries a production budget above $60 million.
This is the latest in a string of misses for the studio this year including Ghost in the Shell, Rings, XXX: The Return of Xander Cage, and Monster Trucks.
Dwayne Johnson and Zac Efron star in the comedy that spawned from the 1990s NBC drama starring David Hasselhoff and a team of lifeguards who patrolled the beaches of Los Angeles. This time around, it’s Johnson, an experienced and devoted lifeguard, who butts heads with a new recruit, Efron, until they uncover a criminal plot.
Priyanka Chopra, Alexandra Daddario, Jon Bass, Kelly Rohrbach, and Ilfenesh Hadera also star. Seth Gordon directed the film based on a screenplay by Damian Shannon and Mark Swift. Jay Scherick, David Ronn, Thomas Lennon, and Robert Ben Garant all have story credits.The first place finish by the fifth incarnation of the world famous Pirate film can’t cover up a serious case of franchise fatigue. Dead Men Tell No Tales is the lowest opening for a Pirates movie apart from the original, which earned over $46 million in its first weekend. Last time out in 2011, On Stranger Tides pulled in $90 million in its opening weekend. That’s still less than 2007’s At World’s End ($114.7 million) and 2006’s Dead Man’s Chest ($135.6 million). But it’s no question why Disney is still churning out sequels — within the next few days, the franchise will have made over $4 billion worldwide.
