Predicting Summer 2017's Highest Grossing Movies

6. Pirates Of The Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales ($800 Million)

Why It'll Happen: The Pirates of the Caribbean franchise is one of those seemingly critic-proof series that's gone from strength to strength, with two of the four movies grossing over $1 billion each.

The six-year gap between sequels may result in the fifth movie pulling in less than the more lucrative entries into the franchise, and it remains to be seen how Johnny Depp will affect the box office after his recent personal troubles, but it's still going to be a sizable hit either way.

Why It Might Not: It's important to remember that though everyone thought Alice Through the Looking Glass would be a critic-proof box office smash, it ended up grossing just one-third of the original movie due to releasing amid Depp's very public PR crisis. Don't discount the possibility of audiences being over Depp's shtick and voting with their wallets.
