I have seen it many, many times and it still doesn't get boring. I have hopes for the fifth one, because a new writer was brought in and maybe he brings some new fresh ideas into the franchise. And hopefully the Black Pearl will be part of the movie again. Part four gave a hint to that at the end of the movie.

U.S. audiences won't flock to it like they used to. Disney won't care. Pirates 1: U.S. $305 million, non-U.S. $349 million Pirates 2: U.S. $423 million, non-U.S. $643 million Pirates 3: $309 million, non-U.S. $654 million Pirates 4: U.S. 241 million, non-U.S. $803 million
