Itwasinspired by the Pirates of the Caribbean attractions atDisneytheme parks around the world, developed by Walt Disneyhimself.Pirates was directed by Gore Verbinski and produced byJerryBruckheimer, and became the first Walt Disney Pictures releasetoearn a PG-13 rating by the MPAA (all previous WDP releaseswererated G or PG).
Pirates grossed almost $654 million worldwide, becoming the22ndhighest grossing film in the United States. It proved to beasuccess for Walt Disney Pictures and, within weeks of itsrelease,the studio announced that a sequel, Pirates of theCaribbean: DeadMans Chest was in development (it was released inthe UnitedStates on July 7, 2006). Pirates of the Caribbean: AtWorlds Endis in post-production, and is slated for a May 25,2007release.
When production for the film was first announced in early2002,movie fans and critics were skeptical of its chances ofsuccess;the concept of Disney basing a movie upon one of its owntheme-parkrides seemed to many a crass marketing ploy.Additionally, thegenre of pirate-themed movies had seen a string ofbig-budget flops(Cutthroat Island, and Treasure Planet, amongothers). However,Pirates made it.
