Rumor Pirates Of The Caribbean "Refurbishment"

[ppete1975]

I thought that is what was happening here?

Nah i meant it has to go through a vetting process before its put into the world. I really dont mean to be grumpy but we are always getting "new posters" that post a ton of posts then disappear.

I think the premium membership fee would equal a Platinum pass if they had to vett all the posts before they were made. What a headache and how to sit in judgement? Crowd sourcing works better and is democratic. Sink or swim on the merits.

True, i was just comparing it to several other forums and facebook groups where your first 5-10 have to go through a vetting process. Cuts down on alot of posts as people know they wont get through as easily. Then again i dont expect mom to spend that kind of time on it either.

I actually want with some ongoing controversies with Depp, if there would be some motivation to remove Jack (and maybe all the related movie elements) and go back to a non movie related version of the ride.

(Of course, I don’t see the non-PC elements returning, even with them being innocuous)

If they remove Sparrow from the ride, I promise to never ride again.

SJW Disney is out of control.

The movie is what put Pirates back on the map, how quickly they forget.

Updated Timeline.
Early 2021- Remove Depp And Replace Him With Generic Pirate
Late 2021 - Make Red The New Pirate
Late 2022 - Retheme It As Female Pirates For The New Film

Problem is, female Pirates will definitely bomb. Just like every other live action Pirate movie ever created sans ones starring Jack Sparrow.

The last two PotC franchise movies lost money in the theatrical window and both had a Rotten Tomato score under 35%.

This brings up a good point: it’s not normalcy you crave. It’s normality.

Wait So THEIR Adding Joe Biden To The Pirates Of The Caribbean And Moving Jack Sparrow And Redd To The Hall Of Presidents??

My fingers refused to cooperate when trying to capitalize the first letter of every word. More power to you OP.

Pirates 4 grossed over a billion worldwide, and was a success.

Pirates 5 grossed nearly 800 million. Still respectable for sure.

Rotten Tomatoes is a joke, and critics have been against Depp movies for a while.

I still think that Jack Sparrow should play a role in the new Red movie - but as a young boy, as her apprentice, to whom she teaches the art of piracy. That way we still get the Sparrow character, minus Depp's baggage. After all, Disney, not Depp, owns that character. It seems a shame to completely discard it just because Depp is, well, a bit of an idiot.

And maybe, just maybe, a new adult actor could play Sparrow in some future Pirates movie. Why not? It could be interesting to see what another actor could bring to the role...

“Ok so we’ll take the old current ride, make it the old ride. Then after a year we’ll take the old current old ride then make it into the new old current ride.”

 

[JustInTime]

Makes no sense. Redd is already in the ride? Why remove to re add her? Especially when they just added her?

Did You All Hear About Disney World Being Rethemed To Balan Wonderworld? I Can't Wait!

Rotten Tomatoes hates every movie I like.

As a rule of thumb, the cost of a movie is it's known production budget plus another 50% for marketing and studio administration.

Then when it comes to the box office (ticket sales), the income is split pretty evenly between the studio and the theaters.

PotC4 cost a whopping and unprecedented $411M to make. So, the true cost is near $600M. The B.O. was $1,046M, which means the studio got only about $500M, for a net loss of close to $100M.

PotC5 cost $280M to make. So, true cost of about $420M. The B.O. dropped to $794. The studio got only half of that leading to a net loss of about $20M.

As far as critics being against Depp movies... They liked the first one. And as far as not liking anything he's done in the past dozen years... the audience isn't far behind with only lukewarm ratings.

But you go along and rewatch Mordecai and Dark Shadows since you're such a big fan.

It's called "English sentence case."
