“Dead Men Tell No Tales” centers on Sparrow battling deadly ghost sailors, led by the Javier Bardem’s Captain Salazar. But it’s no question why Disney is still churning out sequels - combined, the movies have made $1.3 billion domestically and $3.8 billion worldwide. That’s still less than 2007’s “At World’s End” ($114.7 million) and 2006’s “Dead Man’s Chest” ($135.6 million). Last time out in 2011, “On Stranger Tides” pulled in $90 million in its opening weekend. “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 (and was also the only installation approved by critics). The first place finish also can’t cover up a serious case of franchise fatigue. If not for international appeal, that would be a let down for a movie riding on a $230 million production budget. Johnny Depp’s fifth outing as Jack Sparrow is looking at a three-day total of $62.2 million from 4,276 locations, and a four-day holiday weekend sum of $77 million.
