Essentially, an evolution of the franchise.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto     \">\n\tThe last Pirates of the Caribbean, 2017\u2019s Dead Men Tell No Tales, was the lowest grossing in the franchise with $795.9M worldwide. Through five movies, the rich Disney live-action franchise has minted $4.5 billion at the global box office.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto     \">\n\tWe also got the Top Gun franchise producer\u2019s thoughts on David Ellison\u2019s plans to have Paramount leave the state of California; this planned maneuver in response to the state AGs antitrust case and hold-up of the Melrose lot\u2019s yearned merger with Warner Bros Discovery.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto     \">\n\tBruckheimer doesn\u2019t want to the see the big mountain-top studio in another state.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto     \">\n\tSays Bruckheimer, \u201cLook, we want to keep \u2019em here. It\u2019s unfortunate that it\u2019s got this kind of political circle around it, which is a shame, and hopefully they work it all out, they stay here, and the business gets healthier.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto     \">\n\tBruckheimer has been a very vocal supporter of Ellison\u2019s attempted grab of Warner Bros Discovery, believing that the studio titan is a lover of movies and a supporter of cinema. At a CinemaCon panel last spring with The Odyssey producer Emma Thomas, Bruckheimer said the following in response to not signing a petition against the merger:<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto     \">\n\t\u201cLook, I think the train has left the station. I think this is well on its way. You can sign all the petitions you want, but [the merger is] already being approved by European countries. It\u2019s happening. So there\u2019s not much we can do about it other than take [Paramount\u2019s] David [Ellison] at his word that\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/deadline.com\/2026\/03\/david-ellison-commits-30-films-year-paramount-warner-merger-1236741232\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">he\u2019s going to make 30 movies [a year]<\/a>, and that would be fantastic.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"We caught up with producer Jerry Bruckheimer at D23, who tells that when it comes to Pirates of&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":640925,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[263],"tags":[26095,18,117,19,17,12377,12378,327,189002,169241],"class_list":["post-640924","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-movies","tag-d23","tag-eire","tag-entertainment","tag-ie","tag-ireland","tag-jerry-bruckheimer","tag-johnny-depp","tag-movies","tag-paramount-wbd","tag-pirates-of-the-caribbean-6"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/640924","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=640924"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/640924\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/640925"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=640924"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=640924"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=640924"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
