PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN 5 Delayed From Summer 2015 To Summer 2016

After Edgar Wright's Ant-Man was moved from its original November release date to just two weeks after Batman/Superman, have Disney decided that Summer 2015 is simply too crowded for the fifth Pirates of the Caribbean movie? Read on for details!

According to Deadline, Pirates of the Caribbean 5 (which is set to be directed by Kon-Tiki directing duo, Joachim Rønning and Espen Sandberg) will no longer be released in the summer of 2015. The reason? Well, it's likely that it has at least something to do with the commercial failure a couple of months back of The Lone Ranger; a movie which will result in a loss of close to $200 million for Disney. Apparently, the studio are now eyeing a release date at some point in the less crowded summer 2016, although The Hollywood Reporter claims that another possible reason for this release date shift is down to issues with the script. Tower Heist and Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull's Jeff Nathanson is currently working on a first draft.

The Pirates is a billion-dollar franchise, but I think if they release one more film after this one, the franchise will die out. Disney keeps using The Pirates as a way to bring back revenue from the money lost with their least successful films.

They moved Pirates 5 for Ant-Man.... I fail to see the business logic of this, wouldn't it make more sense to delay Ant-Man

Superhero films are the big moneymakers nowadays and johnny just gave them a big disaster while iron man 3(regardless what you think of the film) is still the highest grossing film of the year

Seriously? Another POTC? Because the last one was by far the best movie ever in the history of the world.

@ekrolo Probably has to do with something continuity wise. He might have an appearance in the MCU movie released after that or something like that.

@McNyagano

Because it comes out 2 weeks after WF in the most crowded movie summer of all time? Plus its sole selling point is the fact its a Marvel movie, Edgar Wright has geek cred but not GA cred and geek cred frankly isn't enough to carry a movies BO. People will go to see it because its simply a Marvel movie but still the summer is way too crowded to throw an unproven hero/movie into that kind of arena.

If they released their movies in chronological order, then Cap 2 or even Thor should have come out before Iron Man.

ezio619 - 9/10/2013, 3:16 PM
i think its a good idea that marvel and disney did not tell what their films for 2016 and 17 are, keeps the anticipation ans discussion going and plus phase 2 still has a little while to go

Sorry I meant Cap First Avengers, not Cap 2.

@ezio619

Johnny Deep does not make money anymore? I seem to recall the last Pirates movie getting over a billion at the BO.

@BlackJack10 Ant Man and Pirates 5 weren't rivals anyways, they're both property of Disney.

@ekrolo2

And you think WF will hold on to the first place on the B.O for three weeks?? You're kidding yourself, this is the sequel to the movie that dropped 3rd in its second week-end. Ant-Man will do fine.

ekrolo- but since then dark shadows and lone ranger have not done well commercially
