Disney’s Pirates Of The Caribbean Plan Looks Ridiculous After Margot Robbie’s $155 Million Box Office Win

Margot Robbie’s Pirates of the Caribbean spinoff being kept on the backburner makes less sense after her thunderous success headlining Barbie. Robbie’s multifaceted performance in Barbie reminded audiences of her star power, which drew crowds of moviegoers for the opening weekend of the Warner Bros. movie about Mattel’s iconic doll. With the domestic opening weekend gross settling at $162 million and the international take at $194 million, Barbie has made history as the biggest debut for a film directed by a woman and the 20th biggest debut of all time. These remarkable achievements make for a confusing plan by Disney in continuing to delay Robbie’s Pirates of the Caribbean spinoff.
