The Pirates of the Caribbean franchise has been a beloved and lucrative series for Disney, with five films released between 2003 and 2017. The franchise has grossed over $4.5 billion at the box office worldwide, with the fifth installment, "Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales," being one of the most successful films of 2017.
