It’s no wonder that Disney is holding back on promoting the fifth Pirates movie, budgeted at an estimated $320 million (Rs 2000 crore), with Depp’s name.

Actor Johnny Depp arrives for the world premiere of Disney movie Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales in Shanghai. Disney held a sneak preview of the film at the Las Vegas CinemaCon in March, but the reactions were mixed.
