As the franchise progressed with subsequent installments like Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest (2006), Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End (2007), and Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides (2011), its box office prowess continued to soar. Each film maintained a high level of spectacle and entertainment, drawing in audiences around the globe. The franchise’s appeal was not limited to North America; it found success in international markets, further boosting its box office numbers.

By the time the fifth installment, Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales (2017), hit theaters, the franchise had solidified its status as a box office juggernaut. Despite facing some critical scrutiny over its later entries, the series continued to attract audiences with its blend of adventure, humor, and visual effects. With a cumulative box office gross of over $4.5 billion worldwide, the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise remains one of the most financially successful and enduring film series in history.

Over the last few years, there has been quite a controversy over the sixth installment of the franchise, which would likely star someone other than Johnny Depp. Now, a fan-made trailer, titled Pirates of the Caribbean 6: New Horizon, has made its way to the internet, and it quickly went viral.

As you can see in the video, the trailer actually does a relatively good job of putting together clips of previous movies and creating a storyline for what could’ve been if Johnny Depp, Orlando Bloom, and Keira Knightley were to return while also creating new characters. Of course, it’s easy to see that this isn’t a real trailer and that there are some significant flaws with it, as well. Still, the trailer has garnered nearly 500,000 views in just a few days, as well as hundreds of comments.
